Chef not running on VMs adds security complications

Details

Support Needed

When users have their Chef managed access removed or changed, Chef needs to run to enforce those account changes. We have several Chef managed VMs that have not run Chef in a long time. This means they could have the wrong user permissions.

This command can show us how many VMs have not run Chef in the last 2 months.

knife status --hide-by-mins 87600

We need Chef to be run and up to date on all the Chef managed VMs.
