Chef Client For Windows Logging Not Working

Running my recipe from the command line....

O:\chef\cookbooks\wincfg>chef-client -L C:\chef\rds_deployment.log -l info -z -o wincfg::rds_deployment

A file C:\chef\rds_deployment.log does get created...but it's not containing the readable format that is still getting printed to stdout (on the console).

How do I get logging working so that what chef is logging to the console actually goes to a file? Note - I know I could redirect stdout via >>, but I want information on things that happen after reboots to end up in my log file as well.

The output you see on the console isn't from the logging system, that's formatter output and it is enabled automatically when outputting to a TTY. You can turn it back on with --force-formatter but it isn't intended to go to a log file. What you see in the log is the actual logger output.
