[chef] Re [2]: Can't bootstrap windows node after upgrading to ChefDK v4. (Please help! Windows platform)

Hi Adam,

Authentication on client side using WinRM is configured for basic auth. 

Sorry for the silly questions but how to find-out version of knife-windows?

Here is the same bootstrap command with -VV at the end:

PS C:\opscode\chef-repo> 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'

-VV

Waiting for remote response before bootstrap...................ERROR: No response received from remote node after 2.13 m

inutes, giving up.

ERROR: RuntimeError: Command execution failed.

'-N' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file.

And I see 1 more issue. 

"-N" - is not recognized... But I always used to use it for naming of adding nodes... :(

Thank you in advance for helping me.

Regards,

Taras.

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.
