[chef] Re: Can bootstrap but other remote command fails

[Adam Edwards < >]

It's strange that bootstrap via winrm worked but knife winrm doesn't work. Questions:

1. What OS is your workstation running?
2. Are the commands below literally what you used, or are you also passing explicit credentials via cli switches?
3. If you repeat the bootstrap of that same machine, does it still succeed?

I really hope this doesn't lead us down the path of problems / limitations with ruby-ntlm and friends…

Subject: [chef] Can bootstrap but other remote command fails

Hi,

 

I am running Chef(11.4.4) in windows environment. I have a private Chef Server running on Ubuntu(12.4) which is registered in the domain. I am using winrm to communicate from workstation to nodes.

 

I having trouble with one machine where strangely I can bootstrap with

 

knife bootstrap windows winrm <myhost>

 

But when I try to run a simple remote command like

 

knife winrm <myhost> "pwd"

 

I get the following error:

 

ERROR: Failed to authenticate to ["myhost"] as domain\user

Response: Bad HTTP response returned from server (401).

 

To make things worse, This is only happening on one machine.

 

thanks.
