Bug in tutorials for Windows

Hi all:

Been getting my Chef learning on, and ran across a bug in the tutorials for
Windows:

On this page:
https://learn.chef.io/install-and-manage-your-own-chef-server/linux/get-set-up/

When click on “Checklist for Windows Server nodes”

The instructions are missing a single quote:

winrm set winrm/config/winrs @{MaxMemoryPerShellMB=“300”}

should be:

winrm set winrm/config/winrs ‘@{MaxMemoryPerShellMB=“300”}’

winrm set winrm/config @{MaxTimeoutms=“1800000”}

should be:

winrm set winrm/config ‘@{MaxTimeoutms=“1800000”}’

winrm set winrm/config/service @{AllowUnencrypted=“true”}

should be:

winrm set winrm/config/service ‘@{AllowUnencrypted=“true”}’

winrm set winrm/config/service/auth @{Basic=“true”}

should be:

winrm set winrm/config/service/auth ‘@{Basic=“true”}’

If there is another way I should report this, please let me know.

Thanks,

Noticed one other one in the same place

"sc config winrm start= auto"

Works better if you do "sc.exe config winrm start= auto" due to the fact
that sc is an alias for Set-Content

Thanks,

I’m told this is a difference between cmd.exe and powershell, but we’ll see what we can do.
