Knife winrm does not show output after joining domain

imageeksowhat · April 1, 2016, 9:16pm

Initial run before joining domain runs and I can see output from chef workstation

 $ knife winrm -m ipaddress -x 'winrmuser' -P 'secret' chef-client 
<ipaddress> [2016-04-01T20:52:08+00:00] INFO: *** Chef 12.6.0 ***
<ipaddress> [2016-04-01T20:52:08+00:00] INFO: Chef-client pid: 1472

after the box gets renamed, attached to domain, and run stig gpos there is no more output unless I add -VV

$ knife winrm -m <ipaddress> -x 'Domain\admin' chef-client -VV

curious if there is something that can be configured on the node to show output again?

####Thanks

Interesting. While the output of chef-client is missing, do you think it is running or immediately returning? Any info in the chef log? I’t would be interesting to see if this is specific to chef-client or winrm in general. Try just running ipconfig. Do you get output with that?

I think that’s a good idea. My suspicion would be that there’s a Group Policy Object that joining the domain caused to get applied to the node that changed something with regards to WinRM.

Chef-client does seem to run, and not immediately return. It just has no output. A “powershell ls” or other commands do give output properly.

It seems that

knife winrm -m <ipaddress> -x '<username>' -P '<secret>' chef-client

does run, This is the log in the windows node

but for some reason it just doesnt dislpay the chef run on STDOUT in the chef workstation

I can run other commands that will return output to STDOUT like:

knife winrm -m <ipaddress> -x '<username>' -P '<secret>' "powershell ls"
<ipaddress>
<ipaddress>
<ipaddress>     Directory: C:\

Just fyi I am currently using the latest WinRM gem

$ chef gem list | grep winrm
winrm (1.7.0)

I think the domain join here may be a red herring. What I’d be willing to bet is happening is that your bootstrap adds a log_location to your client.rb. This will not only cause chef run output to log to that location but will suppress output to STDOUT unless in a tty. One unfortunate characteristic of a WinRM session is that it is NOT associated with a TTY in a console like SSH. So the checks that chef performs thinks that you are running in a headless mode.

You can get around this by removing the log location from your client.rb or you can create an alternate client.rb and use the -c argument of chef-client to point to it.

That feels like a pretty lame workaround so you may consider opening an issue regarding this on the chef repo.

You’re correct Matt. I was having the same issue. Removing log_location in client.rb did the trick.
