Hi Indra,

If the task has been created correctly, it should install SQL Server. Try the following:
1. Use schtasks to check if the task is created correctly for the installation.
> schtasks /query /tn Install_SQL /v /fo list
2. Run the task manually from the command prompt and check if it installs SQL.
> schtasks /run /i /tn Install_SQL
3. If the above two things are fine, the installer should leave a log file behind. Check it to see if the error is still access denied.

Regards,
Aditya

Hi Indra,

My example was with regards to the SCEP client installation. Replace the installation command with the silent install command for SQL Server 2008.

Aditya

Hi Aditya,

                 Have to run those scep code which installs client settings.
I dont understand,need to install scep client and sscm ah what it can do?

          Because my problem is only running sql server silent installation commands it shows access denied error while running from workstation.

Thanks,

Hi Indra,

I haven't tried the winrs method as the 'scheduled task' way I described above sufficed for us. I'll try the winrs method sometime later and let you know. Meanwhile you can try the scheduled task way as described in my previous example and let me know if that works for you.

Regards,
Aditya

Hi,

May not be related but I hit the similar (access denied) issues when installing any windows package that might need to install a .msu update as a part of the installation process. And as in your case, it runs perfectly when chef-client is triggered from an administrative command within the node itself. It might be related to the following issue:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2773898

I have hit this with SCCM client, SCEP client etc. It's a Windows limitation and Chef cannot do anything about it.

My workaround was to create a scheduled task scheduled to run 'once' and fire it off immediately. I don't think you can use the windows_task resource provided by the windows cookbook as it doesn't accept 'once' as a valid schedule. I used the execute resource with 'schtasks' to do the same. Give it a shot and let me know if it works for you:

Example:
execute "Task to install SCEP Client" do
        command "schtasks /create /f /sc once /st #{(::Time.now+1).strftime('%H:%M')} /tn Install_SCEP_Client /tr \"C:\\Windows\\Temp\\Client\\scepinstall.exe #{node['scep_client']['installer_options']}\" /RU #{node['scep_client']['sch_user']} /RP #{node['scep_client']['sch_pass']}"
        action :run
end
execute "Run SCEP Client installer task" do
        command "schtasks /run /i /tn Install_SCEP_Client"
        action :run
end

Best Regards,
Aditya

hi,
        i have tried out  by creating a separate account with admin rights also in without admin rights still it shows "access denied"

Thanks for response,

                     Actually my sql server 2008 r2 standard edition cookbook is working fine when i run chef-client from a target node .

                       When i run this as 
knife winrm name:"WIN-DQ00DBBP3I1" 'chef-client' -x administrator -P "password" -a ipaddress

it shows a following error which i sent.

I think also same the problem is in permission,like when i run chef-client in administrator user.so i create another account without have admin rights ,again when i run chef-client from a command prompt not even workstation it shows pemission denied errror to c:/chef/cache

Hi Indra,
 
I am not sure if I understand your statement :
 
‘As it runs and installs successfully from target machine but when i run this from workstation , it shows error’.
 
What do you mean by running it from workstation? From the SQL summary file, it looks like a permission issue. Please provide some more information on the specific scenario where you experience this issue.
