[chef] RE: Can't bootstrap windows node after upgrading to ChefDK v4. (Please help! Windows platform)

[Adam Edwards < >]

Taras, what version of knife-windows are you running? The latest is 0.8.4.

 

Can you also get full logs from your knife-windows bootstrap attempt, e.g. with –VV and share those?

 

Also, how did you configure authentication – are you using Negotiate on the server, or have you configured basic auth?

Subject: [chef] Can't bootstrap windows node after upgrading to ChefDK v4. (Please help! Windows platform)

 

Hi Chefs,

 

Please help!

 

I have upgraded my workstation (windows 2008 platform) from 3.6 to 4.0.

And it seem that I have lost possibility to bootstrap nodes (windows platform as well).

 

WinRM on client side is configured fine and I can reach it form workstation as well.

have tried it using powershell. 

 

For bootstrap I am using command as follow:

 

knife bootstrap windows winrm 172.25.3.201 -r "role[eu1],recipe[push-jobs]" -x 'Administrator' -P 'password' -N 'eu1-cstftp-norg' --template-file 'c:\opscode\chef-repo\.chef\bootstrap\windows-chef-client-msi.erb'

 

All I get is as follow:

Waiting for remote response before bootstrap............... And then time out no response...

 

I tried to install previous ChefDK 3.6 but it seems tha t it doesn't work from newer version to older.

 

chef-client is still the same:

c:\opscode\chef-repo>chef-client --version

Chef: 12.0.3

 

Any ideas on how to fix this issue? Or I should fully delete ChefDK with all folders and set it up from the beginning?

 

Thank you in advance. 

Regards,

Taras.
