Hey Chef’ers
Knife Windows 0.5.10.rc.1 has been pushed to Rubygems.org
You can install it on a system with ‘gem install knife-windows --pre’ (may need a sudo).
Along with some bug fixes we have some new features:
- full NTLM authentication support
- all subcommand now prompt user for password
- subcommands now display the return codes of all remote commands
Big thanks go out to community members Paul Morton [0] and Chris McClimans [1] (aka Hippie Hacker) for lots of real world testing and features!
