exec not working in manifest with powershell commmand

[David Yeo]

All,

I have a requirement for automating the setup of IIS through puppet enterprise, I have a manifest which is not fully executing a powershell command utilising 'exec' (see below)

exec { 'SetvirtualDirectoryDefaultsuserName':
  command => '$(Set-ItemProperty -Path "IIS:\Sites\MainWebSite" -Name virtualDirectoryDefaults.userName -Value domain\username)',
  provider => powershell,
 }

the powershell command works perfectly if run direct from a powershell console

Where am I going wrong?

Thanks

[Rob Nelson]

Can you share the logs from your puppet run showing the error(s) received?

Also, you may want to look at the module https://forge.puppet.com/puppet/iis, which may either handle this already, or be a good example of code you can build on if the feature is not present.
