Scenario:

spin a windows server in vRa with knife.

Steps to Reproduce:

called knife vra server create without specifying --ssh-password, as I am attempting to spin a windows catalog item.

Expected Result:

I don't get asked for an ssh password.

Actual Result:

I am required to provide --ssh-password even though I am spinning a windows machine.

~ [master ≡]>  knife vra server create 'my-windows-catalog-id'  --winrm-password 'mypassword'
ERROR: You must provide either Identity file or SSH Password.

once i got it to make the request, it appears knife is assuming the image is linux, which kinda explains why it wants an ssh-password:

[mcascone]

I tried passing --image-os-type windows, same result.

[mcascone]

Ok. Never mind. I finally set --bootstrap-protocol, and it's functioning as expected. My misunderstanding!
