在完整全新安装Windows Server 2012R2上遇到此问题。如果我只是运行chef-client或运行chef-client -c C:\chef\client.rb，我会得到同样的结果。我已经验证的client.rb是默认路径，包含：
log_level :debug
log_location STDOUT
chef_server_url 'https://chef.t93.us/organizations/<orgname>'
validation_client_name '<orgname>-validator'
validation_key 'C:\chef\<orgname>-validator.pem'
ssl_ca_file 'C:\chef\<dom_ain>.crt'
<>的字符串具有替换<>的正确值。
我总是得到以下输出，日志级别设置为debug（使用cli开关，因为client.rb中的日志值没有生效）：

这是来自我甚至使用-c指定配置路径的运行。客户端似乎使用默认配置值，我无法确定原因。
答案 0 :(得分：2)
以下是答案：我使用Powershell中的Out-File编写client.rb文件，其默认编码为“Unicode”（http://ss64.com/ps/out-file.html）。厨师显然有问题。解决方案是以UTF8输出。
