Workstation: Windows 7; client Windows 7 running on hyper-v.

I stripped out that part. I am passing explicit -x user -P password arguments.

Yes
I have been trying other machines to see if I can get more clues. I currently have 2 clients working correctly. They are both Windows 7 and proper PC boxes. I have been testing with a Windows 2012 server running on Hyper-V and having different problems there. Bootstrapping is not even working. This is probably completely unrelated though.
I am at the point where I am going to give openssh a try although I would prefer not to add that extra dependency in the long-run. But WinRM is barely documented and no one out there(aside from MS tools) seems to use it or document how they set it up.

It’s strange that bootstrap via winrm worked but knife winrm doesn’t work. Questions:
- What OS is your workstation running?
- Are the commands below literally what you used, or are you also passing explicit credentials via cli switches?
- If you repeat the bootstrap of that same machine, does it still succeed?
I really hope this doesn’t lead us down the path of problems / limitations with ruby-ntlm and friends…

Subject: [chef] Can bootstrap but other remote command fails
Hi,
I am running Chef(11.4.4) in windows environment. I have a private Chef Server running on Ubuntu(12.4) which is registered in the domain. I am using winrm to communicate from workstation to nodes.
I having trouble with one machine where strangely I can bootstrap with
knife bootstrap windows winrm
But when I try to run a simple remote command like
knife winrm “pwd”
I get the following error:
ERROR: Failed to authenticate to [“myhost”] as domain\user
Response: Bad HTTP response returned from server (401).
To make things worse, This is only happening on one machine.
thanks.
