It sounds like the following:\r\n\r\n1. Your images boot up with chef-client already installed and pem files availalble\r\n2. You'd like to execute a bootstrap command using that installed chef-client and the pem files\r\n\r\nIs that correct @athingisathing? If so, could you just use the `knife winrm` command rather than `knife bootstrap`? Something like\r\n\r\n`knife winrm -m computername -x user -P somepass 'chef-client -r yourrunlist'`\r\n\r\nThat would bootstrap the node if you have chef-client installed already."}}
