Description
Changes default of owner on resource from 'root' to nil. Then uses lazy init to set default owner if the value is still nil. On non-windows, sets 'root'. On Windows, uses WMI query to grab local admin account (typically 'Administrator'). The code for grabbing the windows admin user was copied from https://github.com/chef-cookbooks/chef-client/blob/master/libraries/helpers.rb#L37
Ultimately the WMI query code in that helper looks very similar to the one in the windows cookbook here: https://github.com/chef-cookbooks/windows/blob/master/libraries/wmi_helper.rb#L22
Perhaps both this and the chef-client cookbook can just re-use it?
