When using knife to look at chef configuration, it works fine:

$ knife recipe list

chef_handler

chef_handler::json_file

powershell

windows

windows::reboot_handler

When trying to bootstrap using knife it looks like IP address is not satisfied

only after connection to remote node:

knife bootstrap windows winrm 10.0.1.30 -r 'role[License]'

Bootstrapping Chef on windows

ERROR: Network Error: getaddrinfo: Name or service not known

Check your knife configuration and network settings

knife.rb looks right to me. Network settings should not matter since IP is

being used.

What am I missing?

Tried to search for getaddrinfo on opscode and got no hits.

Thank you.

Can you run knife with -VV and share the output? At some point along the way, a bad hostname is getting passed to a network call. For example:

irb(main):005:0> Net::HTTP.get(URI("http://bogus"))

SocketError: getaddrinfo: nodename nor servname provided, or not known
