Hey @vagga06,

@vagga06

How to execute chef-client cmd from jenkins in client machine

To do so, you can use knife winrm. Here is how you do it.

knife windows

Or else you can follow the following topic thread,

Run cookbook as domain user

If you want to run the Chef-Client as a domain user I would recommend using “knife winrm” command. Example of the syntax: knife winrm "myserver.myorganization.net" "chef-client" -m -x "domain\Administrator" -P "super_secret_password" This can be executed from your local chef workstation. You could also use PowerShell Remoting to connect to the remote server as a domain user and execute chef-client

I believe your sever is on Linux. And in order to run it through Jenkins, you can command your Jenkins to run knife winrm command on your chef workstation.

Hope this is helpful.

Cheers,
Waseem
