A Word of Warning for Test Kitchen Users
Installing SQL Server remotely
----------------------------------------
You cannot install Microsoft SQL server (any version) over WinRM. This is has been tested in several scenarios both with and without Chef. The server.rb recipe will not work with Windows Test Kitchen guests for this reason. See this link for more info:
https://learn.chef.io/manage-a-web-app/windows/configure-sql-server/#comment-2344349376
SQL Server does not support remote installation over WinRM. For example, the installation fails when you run `knife bootstrap windows winrm` or `knife winrm 'chef-client'` with a run-list that includes `server.rb`. However, you can use a scheduled task or run `chef-client` as a service. [Learn more](https://learn.chef.io/manage-a-web-app/windows/) in this Learn Chef tutorial.
