Since I got no response, I assume that this is an honest-to-goodness bug, and that bootstrap was never tested on a Windows Server 2012 R2 Core?

 

The step that fails mentions “notepad++” but of course notepad++ cannot run on a non-GUI OS?

Note that Windows Server 2012 R2 Core is the “non-GUI” version of Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard. It runs a Windows command prompt when one logs into the console, that’s it.

 

I’m able to do this, so I know I set up winrm correctly. Node name, password and port# have been changed.

 

~]# knife winrm "Mynode.domain.com" "dir" -m -x domain\\Administrator -P Password -p 1234

Mynode.domain.com Volume in drive C has no label.

Mynode.domain.com Volume Volume Serial Number is EE8C-90E1

I get this during bootstrap.

 

~]# knife bootstrap windows winrm "Mynode.domain.com" -N "london-db1" -x domain\\Administrator -P Password -p 1234

 

Waiting for remote response before bootstrap. Mynode.domain.com.

Mynode.domain.com Response received.

Where can I get a more verbose message that I can share?
