| When run on Windows servers "facter ipaddress6" returns the ipv6 address including the interface identifier. This causes issues with Ruby applications importing Puppet Facts as Ruby IPAddr cannot deal with IPv6 addresses that include the interface identifier. When run on Linux servers "facter ipaddress6" does not return the ipv6 address including the interface identifier. Examples: Windows Server 2012R2 Facter 3.11.6
PS C:\Users\user> facter ipaddress6
fe80::xxxx:xxx:xxxx:bbe%13
CentOS 7.5.1804 Facter 3.11.8
[root@hostname ~]# facter ipaddress6
fe80::xxx:xxxx:xxxx:d4bc
