knife-windows 3.0+ fixates on chef-15 #485

Closed bby-bishopclark closed 5 years ago

Knife-windows 3.0.3 is hard-fixed to demand chef-15 . Does it require a feature only in chef-15, or can this be relaxed to allow chef-14?

We like to stay up-to-date, but the JDK-like license on Chef-15 means that like others in our sector we can probably never run it.

Hi @bby-bishopclark,

Yes in knife-windows 3+ version it requires chef-15 we have moved windows node bootstrapping features from knife-windows to chef-15 see here. I would recommend you to move a chef-15 as a couple of performance improvements for more detail..

but if you want to say chef-14 no issue at all you can use knife-windows 1.9+ version.

Let us know further if you have any query?

Thanks!

The license on chef-15 is an issue. We are considering migrating off if it can't be fixed.

I'll try knife-windows 1.9 and hope it has everything I need. Thanks!
