I tried restarting the service, but I'm still getting the same 

 

Waiting for remote response before bootstrap..........

WinRM seems flaky, and sometimes you need to bounce the service on the windows box for it to respond, I've found.

Hi,

 

I'm trying to install a new client using 

 

knife bootstrap windows winrm 'server.nightly.bla' -r 'app::base' -x 'administrator’ -P 'xyz'

 

but the command comes back after a couple of mins with :-

 

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

ERROR: RuntimeError: Command execution failed.

 

I have tried with -VVV and I get 

 

DEBUG: :session => :init

DEBUG: :relay_to_servers => echo . & echo Response received.

DEBUG: :relayed => server.nightly.bla

DEBUG: server.nightly.bla => :run_command

 

​Not very helpful. 

 

I can telnet from my workstation to port 5985.

 

Searching google for this, there a a couple of pages of people with similar issues, but no solution. 

 

Is this even the up-to-date way to install chef-client? 

 

Thanks,

 

Steve​
