After a few release candidates and appreciated testing, we’ve released
knife-windows 0.8.4. This release adds the flags and support necessary
to configure your chef-client ssl settings when bootstrapping a new
Windows node, including copying the contents of your
trusted_certs_dir. Some of these flags can be set on the command line
as well as in your knife configuration file. For example:

I just now tried 0.8.4 and it did copy my trusted_certs dir to c:\chef

Does this mean knife bootstrap windows will copy trusted_certs to c:\chef?
Yes, that’s knife-windows #133 as linked in the OP.
Does this version also fix copying the encrypted_data_bag_secret to c:\chef, if I have the following line in my knife.rb?
knife[:secret_file] = "#{current_dir}/encrypted_data_bag_secret"
I’m not sure about this one.
Hi guys,
Is there a way to bootstrap windows node and initially set up chef-client to be run as a service? Without running “chef-service-manager -a install” and “chef-service-manager -a start” on node side afterwards.
Thank you in advance for your responses.
Regards, Taras.

No there is not. In the past we've recommended doing that with a cookbook
on the initial run, because there are so many ways to do it on other
platforms it doesn't make sense to add them all to the core client.
However, that logic is built into the MSI, and Windows really only has one
common way to do it. I've created an issue for that consideration:
Of course, you can use the chef-client::windows_service recipe [1] to
enable the service for you on the first run currently.
