Hi Carlos,
Sorry to comeback to this issue this late.
But would you be able elaborate more on the issue?
We have encountered the same issue (and still encounter) in Rackspace
environment with Windows 2008R2 images with Rackconnect enabled servers. The
only difference was that we were able to try Windows client with non-Rackspace
server which worked. Also Chef client and server both running CentOS 6.5 PVHVM
image worked correctly.
I cannot find either of those server IDs on the list I get from Rackspace.
Could you tell the names of those images?
You also mentioned that the server flavor had an impact to it. I would then
guess you used standard flavors? Was it required for both client and server?
It would be also interesting to know if Rackspace was planning to fix the
performance flavor images and was this only affecting clients, server or both?
I am just interested on this because I would hate to go back to standard
servers in Rackspace.
Cheers,
Kalle

Hello Kalle,
No problem man, this was a really nasty issue with a really simple fix (Really).
Them problems its that ohai some times get crazy getting the node name
for Windows Performance images on Rackspace.
This is the fix,
You can either bootstrap your chef-client with the -N shortcut (My choice):
knife bootstrap windows winrm IP -x Administrator -P pass -N hostname
Or add to client.rb:
node_name "hostname"
I hope that this helps,
Carlos.

Hello,
Again, the problem its that you should not have the node_name
parameter in your client.rb file.
Do it, and you will fix the problem in your Performance images.
Its not about the Rackspace images as they replace the images to get
the latest updates once in a while.
Cheers.

Hi,
Just ran on performance server with "chef-client -S
-N and I still get that EOFError.
We tested as well with standard flavors and those were successful as
you mentioned in your e-mail to the list on 9th of July.
