Puppet Local Account Notify Issue

[Shivayogi Kamat]

user { 'acc1':
  ensure          => present,
  managehome      => true,
  password        => 'Test123',
  groups          => ['Administrators'],
  auth_membership => 'minimum',
  notify          => Exec['app config']
}

exec { 'app config':
  path        => 'c:\\program files (x86)\\app\\bin',
  command     => 'config.bat -f responsefile.rsp',
  refreshonly => true,

}

The user is getting created, but I need the local account to be used for the app configuration.
The above puppet script is executed by domain account abc\myname, and the application requires a local account to be used for the configuration.

So I have created a local account through puppet and using notify to tell exec to use the account created by the puppet. But when it is executed, the application is throwing error: need a local account or administrator
In logs the error is myname is not a local account or administrator.

I see that exec is not using the local user acc1 created by puppet.

Is there any other way wherein I can direct the exec to use a particular local user account to use for configuration.
Please advise

The exec resource type has the user attribute:

- **user**
The user to run the command as. Note that if you
use this then any error output is not currently captured. This
is because of a bug within Ruby. If you are using Puppet to
create this user, the exec will automatically require the user,
as long as it is specified by name.
