Hello,
Ohai is not able to detect the platform and version on one of our "Microsoft
Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard Edition Service Pack 2" physical server.
It results in an empty "Platform" attribute for the node and an error when
running chef-client.
Below all the details about the error I got.
Could you help for solving this issue please ?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Christophe

Can you please file a bug against the Ohai project at
[http://tickets.opscode.com](http://tickets.opscode.com)? Please include all the relevant
information for reproducing the error, e.g. version of Ohai, version
of Windows, output of 'ohai -l debug'
Thanks,
