I have 5 nodes and all of them have one setup cook-book in common.

Now I would like to add another task in this common cookbook that would configure SQL server for me on all the nodes. Is there a way/command to manually trigger this change across all clients right away?

I use azure VM's. All the nodes are Windows Server 2012 machines. I could do a 

knife winrm machine-name chef-client -m -x username -P password

on all the machines, but i'm sure there should be a better way of doing this. I'm new to using chef, so I might be missing a very basic command here.

If you're using open-source Chef, the way you described is the easiest way to do it.

If you're using Enterprise Chef, Push Jobs is the feature you're looking for.
