Chef Infra (archive)

i am following this link (https://learn.chef.io/manage-a-node/windows/get-a-node-to-bootstrap/) to bootstrap my windows server 2012. However, when I tried to run this command to verify the network traffic on port 5966, I got the following error message, anyone here can help me with this?

I am using the newest version of Chef and powershell.

This output suggests that you do not have the knife-windows gem installed. Do you have the chef-dk installed or just the chef client? knife-windows comes with the chef-dk.

Thank you, I got it. Just installed the knife-window gem.

I will proceed with the command again next Monday when I am in office.

I still get error as below even with the “knife-windows gem” installed. could you please help me with this?

the bootstrap progress is really irritating and annoying! do you have any resource to introduce it systematically.

Thanks.

Install chef-dk… It solved mine.

One possibility may be that you have chef-dk but are hitting a bug from a previous chef-dk. The workaround was to delete ~/.chef/plugin_manifest.json. Give that a shot.

Hi, Matt, thanks for your reply. I uninstalled the old chef-DK version and installed the newest one downloaded from the website. I got the version information as below and I verified I upgrade it.

After upgrade chef-DK

PS C:\Users\Yuj\chef-repo> chef gem list rake

*** LOCAL GEMS ***

rake (11.1.2, default: 10.1.0)

However, when I try to run “knife wsman test” again, I still got the following error:

Please help, thanks.

I tried to run the same command with the IP address, also I changed the options for the command, it works partially.

do i need download a new certificate from the server? what’s wrong with it?

thanks.

It couldn't locate the machine via "chef_testnode1.na.kfy.com" hostname but able to get it via IP. Try to add it to the c:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts file like below and give it a try.
