[chef] Re: Adding windows nodes to Active Directory Domain using Chef

We do the same and we keep the node name different from the hostname/fqdn. You simply need to set the node_name config option in the client.rb. this can be done with the chef-client cookbook.

Hello!!

I have this simple recipe to add my Windows nodes to my domain:


join_domain.rb
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
join_command = "netdom join "+Chef::Config[:node_name]+"
/domain:test.local /userd:usertest /passwordd:.asdfasdf.! /reboot:5"


batch 'join_domain' do
  code join_command
  action :run
end
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now, when nodes restarts, the FQDN of the nodes will change to
nodename.test.local and the chef client fails as the FQDN has changed
from nodename to nodename.test.local


Is there a nice way to handle this behavior?


Thanks!!!
