Indeed it should be. Quick and dirty is one way to achieve what you want
with batch files, but given that your scripts are easily converted to
puppet manifests, you should definitely consider going that route. It
already automatically handles Windows File System / Registry Redirection,
which is likely what you are currently running into.
It's likely that you are using a 32 bit version of Puppet on a 64bit
version of Windows. When you call for c:\windows\cmd.exe and Windows File
System Redirector gets involved, Windows will automatically redirect you to
a 32bit cmd.exe in C:\Windows\SysWOW64\cmd.exe, which has only a 32 bit
view of the registry.
Let's take a look at one of your examples - REG ADD
"HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VolumeCaches\Active
Setup Temp Folders" /v StateFlags0100 /d 2 /t REG_DWORD /f
Do me a favor and look at
"HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VolumeCaches\Active
Setup Temp Folders" and tell me if you see what you are looking for there.
Once you've determined that is the issue, we can go into how to fix it.
