Chef-client run is failing in Windows server

Am trying to set-up Chef Infra in this manner: Chef Server (Linux), Chef Workstation (Windows), Chef Node (Windows). Chef server and chef workstation are working smooth.

However, chef-client is failing on chef node with the error:

'chef-client' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

I did the following:

  1. Downloaded chef-client windows msi package and installed on server (through root user)
  2. Copied the default folders (chef and opscode) from C:\ to D:\ and granted local user permission to read/write
  3. Created client.rb file and also placed SSL certificates in D:\chef
  4. Read permission granted to validator.pem file on chef server. Client.pem is not available as it is the first chef-client run

What else needs to be done? Am i missing something very critical?
