I am still having this issue even with Chef 14.7

@dotcircel Are you running the same recipe?

[dotcircel]

@Vasu1105 more or less. The only difference is that the user is domain user.

@dotcircel : you also need to set interactive_enabled as false. Or you can simply remove this option, by default it is set as false.

[dotcircel]

@Nimesh-Msys That indeed was the problem. Thanks for clearing it up.
