Chef-Client deployment

Shanker_Jadapa · June 17, 2014, 7:10am

Hi,

is there any process to install the chef-client on 500 windows machines.
adding individually through “knife bootstrap” is pain for me.

Thanks

Hello you can run remotely that command in a batch task..

knife bootstrap windows winrm 192.168.0.10 -r 'role[your_role]' -x
'domain_user' -P 'the pass'
knife bootstrap windows winrm 192.168.0.11 -r 'role[your_role]' -x
'domain_user' -P 'the pass'
knife bootstrap windows winrm 192.168.0.12 -r 'role[your_role]' -x
'domain_user' -P 'the pass'

And so on...

Regards!

If I am using the invidual client installation, its working.
I testing using shell script to push the chef-client, its not working.

#script

for i in 1 2 3
do

  knife bootstrap windows winrm 'pam-vm00$i'  -x administrator -P

'test123' -p 5985*
done

In your command line, you use single quotes: ‘pam-vm00$i’. In bash, single quotes means, take everything inside literally, including the dollar sign and the i. If you want the $i to be substituted with the value of the variable i, you need to use double quotes.

Also, be careful with the user name “administrator”. By default, that account is disabled in recent Windows versions.
