Bug #15559: Puppet can't write into directories it creates on Windows unless
SYSTEM account is explicitly given write access

Given a manifest like the following:
user { 'SomeUser':
home => 'C:/Users/SomeUser'
password => 'SomePassword',
}
file {
'C:/Users/SomeUser':
ensure => directory,
owner => 'SomeUser',
group => 'SomeUser',
mode => '0775'
require => User['SomeUser'];
'C:/Users/SomeUser/SomeFile.txt':
ensure => present;
}
Puppet will fail to create SomeFile.txt because it doesn't have permission to
write to C:\Users\SomeUser.
On Linux, where Puppet typically runs as root, this is not a problem. But on
Windows, the user running Puppet needs to explicitly be given write permissions
to C:\Users\SomeUser. Perhaps Puppet should do that automatically? This would
both make Puppet's behavior more intuitive, and make it easier to share
manifests between Linux and Windows.
