[chef] Pleae help with windows bootstrap

["Fouts, Chris" < >]

With the help of this group I was able to get this working when I had chef-client v11.x, and chef-server v11.x. I moved to chef-client v12.0 and Chef 12 Enterprise. Again, as before, I followed these instructions: https://docs.chef.io/plugin_knife_windows.html to set up winrm on the Windows box, which checks out.

 

I do…

 

knife bootstrap windows winrm 'mynode.domain.com' -x domain\\Administrator -P password -p 5985 -VV

INFO: Using configuration from /opt/jenkins/workspace/Chef-Deploy-RNIs/chef-deploy-leeds/.chef/knife.rb

 

Waiting for remote response before bootstrap

 

..DEBUG:

(above lines repeated 12 times)

 

ERROR: No response received from remote node after 1.84 minutes, giving up.
