401 when provisioning windows VMs about knife-azure

[muktaa]

Please check the username and password for the windows image. You must give
that as the --winrm-username and --winrm-password.
Let me know this helps.

I created a new image and retested to make sure I had the credentials mirrored and the error persists. I also tried providing the username as machinename\username in case it was a domain issue, but that didn't help. I'm a little surprised that the credentials need to match the ones from the VM the image was created with since you normally provide new credentials each time you create a VM based on an image. It doesn't seem to be the source of my issue though.

So I've managed to get it to work by setting "--winrm-user Administrator". I didn't use Administrator for the user in the base image, any other username that I've tried fails with the 401.

While this is open, I see in the code that ssh bootstrapping is supported for windows VMs. Am I correct in thinking that the base image would have to be configured as an SSH server that starts on boot and listens on --ssh-port?

Yes. Thats right.

@sethvargo The CLA is in the process of getting set up with my company (PROS Inc.) at the moment. Hopefully that will move through relatively soon and I can start getting some fixes and enhancements back into the main line.

@phoellig okay sounds good! I moved your stacktrace to a gist to cleanup the description a bit
