Thanks for the response.
1.
I figured that you have not validated bootstrap on a Windows non-gui CI version. I’m doing this on a VM we have in our vCenter, loaded with a stock Windows Server 2012 R2 Core OS with all the Windows updates.
2.
I’m using a stock bootstrap (I don’t know enough about Chef to use a custom bootstrap
J
). Notepad++ is installed yes, again, this is a stock OS. Incidentally, I issued notepad++ on the command line and a notepad++ window popped up.
What does the
"c:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\Change was unexpected at this time.” Error?

There are two interesting things here:
1.
We haven’t validated running on the non-gui version in CI – I can’t think of a reason it wouldn’t work. Are you doing this via a stock image with a cloud provider – if so, which one? This would help us in doing an exact repro.
2.
You have a strange “notepad++” line in the error output – are you using a custom bootstrap template? Is notepad++ installed on the system in some way? This shouldn’t cause a problem, but I’d like to understand what might be unique
about the remote system.
Thanks.

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.
