[chef] Re: Re: knife winrm browsing network shares

[Grep Juice < >]

Looks like I spoke too soon, this hack seems to be unreliable, sometimes it works other times I get a
System error 67 has occurred.
The network name cannot be found.
Access is denied.

It seems to be at random,and I've seen anecdotal evidence that "net use" is not reliable enough to use in batch files. Have you found a way to make this reliable?

Thanks.

Hi,

The easiest way I have found is to re-login as part of the winrm
session. So execute the command

net use \\filer\share mypwd

before you access the dir in the same session. We also had some issues
around the authentication code and ended  up having to add a patch
that looks like code in [1]. (We use AD for authentication but all our
deploy tools run on Linux).
