I was trying to build windows machine via knife rackspace server create, however, I got the timeout issue that it is just a little bit not long enough to wait until it gets respond from remote node.
Is it a way to increase the timeout?
Thanks a lot.
Below is the result I got the time difference, 1. knife rackspace server create; 2. knife bootstrap

Knife-rackspace performs a TCP check before any interesting work. My guess is that you're getting hung up on that TCP check, even though WinRM is working:
I recently submitted a patch to add an option that disables the TCP check for SSH, but you may want to try something similar on Windows, especially if you're doing this from a network with a lot of access restrictions:
Hope this helps!
