So for whatever reason, knife is putting a ‘?’ in front of the hostname. check it out.

user@host MINGW64 ~/gitRepos/chef-repo (master)
$ knife bootstrap <hostname_redacted> --ssh-user myuser --sudo --identity-file ~/.ssh/id_rsa -N <hostname_redacted> --run-list 'recipe[ori-cookbook-newrelic]'

This is a new node. So i’m not sure what’s going on here. And it just bootstrapped a another node right before this one.

Copy and paste the knife bootstrap command from the terminal on to a notepad/text editor and see if you can catch a foreign character over there.

BTW, try out the ssh config file to avoid using specifying your ssh keys. here
