Unable to bootstrap windows instance after provisioning

[sernapallyanurag]

This is my command:

knife ec2 server create -N windowstest -I ami-2843e54b -f t2.micro --bootstrap-protocol winrm --winrm-user .\windowsuser --winrm-password admin@123 --region ap-southeast-1 --availability-zone ap-southeast-1b --subnet subnet-0707est23 --winrm-transport plaintext --security-group-ids sg-5674abc --associate-public-ip

I have installed knife-windows gem
.
SSH Target Address: ec2-xx-xx-xx-xx.ap-southeast-1.compute.amazonaws.com() instead of winRM.

..ERROR: Failed to authenticate to ec2-xx-xx-xx-xx.ap-southeast-1.compute.amazonaws.com as .\windowsuser Response: WinRM::WinRMAuthorizationError Hint: Make sure to prefix domain usernames with the correct domain name. Hint: Local user names should be prefixed with computer name or IP address. EXAMPLE: my_domain\user_namer

Is there something I am missing?

@sernapallyanurag, Please use --winrm-transport ssl and --winrm-ssl-verify-mode verify_none .
Also ensure that your --security-group-ids has ports 5986,5985,3389 added.

Hope aforementioned options help you. Closing this issue.
Thanks.
