Hi Tom,
Yes I was targetting a specific Availability Zone. In order to bring my production site back up I had to use Chef 0.9 and specify a region to bring it up.

I've just tried the same command with 0.10.0.RC.0 and it still fails in exactly the same way. 

For clarity, I'm running Knife on a Windows client to startup an Ubuntu instance in the cloud. The link below indicates that WinRM is required on the Windows servers - not the client.
So, would you still like me to try it?

Cheers,
Edward

I wonder if AWS issues might be part of the cause (http://status.aws.amazon.com/)... are you targeting a specific Availability Zone? 

Aside from that, you've validated the WinRM installation configuration? (see http://wiki.opscode.com/display/chef/Knife+Windows+Bootstrap)

Hi,
I install ohai 0.6.2 and the cookbook site vendor and ec2 server create problems persisted.

I don't necessarily expect this to be the deal, however a related issue arose with a Windows 0.10 beta tester, and part of the fix was upgrading Ohai to the newest version.  (http://www.opscode.com/blog/2011/04/14/ohai-0-6-2-bugfix-release/)

<cough> yeah I just raised that. I have no idea what's in the chef code but it doesn't feel like it's related. Feels like the path lookup is doing something strange in Windows. I think I'll raise a Jira for this one as well.

Unfortunately, I'll have to roll back out of 0.10 but will happily test anything for you.

Cheers,
Edward
