[chef] Re: Bootstrap windows server with knife ec2 server create?

[AJ Christensen < >]

Try using the 'chef-full' bootstrap template, which should use Omnibus
for Windows. that would be '--template-file path/to/chef-full.erb' or
'-d chef-full'

Can you also show the full stack trace from knife for that error
and/or open a ticket for it? Use knife -VV for extra-verbose.

Cheers,

AJ
