[chef] Re: Re: Re: Completely failing with knife-windows + winrm

Hello Jeff,

Since you are using Kerberos for authentication, has the source machine(assuming linux) on which you are running the knife commands been pre-authentication with the AD?

Also it is always useful to check if every works fine with Basic Authentication mode if possible.

Does anyone have any success with knife-windows (0.5.10
from 'gem install')? I'm royally failing, and knife's
-V argument is proving useless as usual.

$ knife bootstrap windows winrm jblaine-win.our.org

Remarkably, if I go find the batch file on jblaine-win and run
it, it works fine.

Let's see if I can do anything?

$ knife winrm jblaine-win.our.org <http://jblaine-win.our.org> "net

use *" -m -x jblaine -R OUR.ORG -V
ERROR: WinRM::WinRMWebServiceError: Bad SOAP Packet returned. Sometimes
a retry will solve this error.

a retry will solve this error.

What version of windows is this?

Windows 2008 Server R2

Also, you can give knife the `-V` argument twice for more information,
but this won't help if the winrm library doesn't provide more debug
output or knife-winrm isn't wired up to increase winrm's verbosity.

Handy. Thanks.

Here's the latest with -VV.
