Anyone seen this error message? I had it working (of course with the hosted solution); however, this is the first windows server I'm launching hosting my open source server in house:

To clarify, your authentication credentials are being rejected by the Chef server. So either you have a bad client key or node name.

To test things out with knife, you can try something like `knife node list -s CHEF_SERVER_URL -u CLIENT_NAME -k PATH_TO_CLIENT_KEY`
