[chef] RE: Re: Knife-Windows

[Adam Edwards < >]

Nick, the log indicates that the retry logic that applies on Win2k8R2 or
better (or if you have PowerShell) in the bootstrap template is not
kicking in. If you feel comfortable installing a version of the gem from a
branch via github, it can probably get you past this (it adds more robust
error checking). If you need a little more help installing it, I can send
you something in a private thread to assist.

Here's the branch that should get you past this -- if you clone
knife-windows, check out the branch, build it, and install the resulting
gem, you can try it out:
https://github.com/opscode/knife-windows/tree/adamed-bootstrap-reliability

Thank you for sending this. I'm still curious as to why you may be hitting
it -- it seems to be uncommon and is due either to new failure modes in
the vbscript used to initially download the client, or changes in how
exceptions in the vbscript runtime are propagated to callers of
cscript.exe.

This is the issue:

 CScript Error: Execution of the Windows Script Host failed. (0x800A0007)

You need to figure out why this is failing. You may have some kind of
group policy set that is preventing execution of scripts.
