[chef] Re: Winrm issues in chef-recipe

[Tensibai < >]

You probably hit the reverse dns error.

Windows WinRM ensure it is called properly by checking the dns entries and the hots in the request header.

Check that your dns entries (host and PTR) are correct, PTR record must point to the machine name, not to an alias.

You should also call the distant host by its name and not by IP address.

 

Hope this helps.
