[chef] Windows Chef - WMI Dependancy

[Iain Prior < >]

Hi all

 

I’m new here, but very eager to learn!

 

I’m having trouble with the “windows” cookbook: It appears that chef-client is trying to download the wmi dependency file from the internet. My problem is that my “clients” don’t have internet access, they need to get everything they are interested in from intranet resources. Please help/point me at the right place to start?

 

EDIT: I have managed to temporarily fix this by: knife cookbook delete windows 1.34.0

This has enabled the older version on the chef server 1.32 to become the used one.

 

What’s the right solution though?

 

Thanks!

Iain
