Knife Windows

Simon_Hawkins · March 26, 2015, 2:13pm

Hi All,

I am following:

And looking at the "knife windows cert generate" section, but when I run:

Knife-windows - I get this:

FATAL: Cannot find sub command for: 'windows'
Available windows subcommands: (for details, knife SUB-COMMAND --help)

I've done a "gem install knife-windows" on my workstation and am using Chef: 12.1.2 on the workstation.

Am I missing a gem?

Cheers,
Simon.

If you are using chefdk you want to make sure to use 'chef gem install knife-window' to install it in chefdk's ruby.
