Kenneth,

 

Have you tried following:

 

group "Administrators" do

  members ['domain\foo']

  append true

  action :modfiy

end

Subject: [chef] Syntax for "group" resource in windows.

 

Could someone please show me an example of working syntax for group resource when working windows?

 

I am trying to add a domain user as a member of the Administrators group (local to the box administrators), but keep getting the following error:
