Could not retrieve local facts: failed to parse display name of moniker

Attempting to run puppet, in a powershell script as a remote user, on a windows install script (so running under SYSTEM). The puppet run starts and I get:

Could not retrieve local facts: failed to parse display name of moniker `winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!//./root/cimv2' HRESULT error code:0x800401e4 Invalid syntax

Not quite sure where to even begin on this. Any help is appreciated.
