Description

Pertinent information:
-OS: Windows Server 2016 Standard
-Puppet version 5.5.6
-Hardware: VMWare VM with 2 cores, 4gb of ram

-Summary: When trying to create a local user on a host and associate them to the local administrator group, a "failed to parse display name of moniker" error appears

-Code:

    user { 'Windows':

      ensure     => 'present',

      name       => 'windows_eng',

      password   => '$REDACTED',

      groups     => 'Administrators',

      forcelocal => true,

      comment    => 'Windows Engineer Administrator Account'

-Output:

puppet apply .\asdf.pp

Warning: Setting configtimeout is deprecated.

Error: /Stage[main]/Main/User[Windows]: Could not evaluate: ADSI connection error: failed to parse display name of moniker `WinNT://./windows_eng,user'

 HRESULT error code:0x800708ad

 The user name could not be found.

Wrapped exception:

 HRESULT error code:0x800708ad

 The user name could not be found.

This also appears on agent runs, and I've included the relevant excerpt from "puppet agent -t --trace --debug --verbose" below:

-What's strange about this issue is that when slightly modifying the name, puppet processes the code without issue:

    user { 'Windows':

      ensure     => 'present',

      name       => 'windows_eeng',

      password   => '$REDACTED',

      groups     => 'Administrators',

      forcelocal => true,

      comment    => 'Windows Engineer Administrator Account'

-Result:

puppet apply .\asdf.pp

Warning: Setting configtimeout is deprecated.

   (location: C:/Program Files/Puppet Labs/Puppet/sys/ruby/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/puppet/settings.rb:1169:in `issue_deprecation_warning')

Notice: Compiled catalog for $HOST in environment production in 0.02 seconds

Please excuse the "configtimeout" setting.

I'm speculating that this might be due to "windows_eng" being a domain account, however I'm able to add the user via computer management without issue. Would anyone be able to provide insight on possible causes of this behavior? If any additional information is needed I'll be happy to assist!
