This works for me, but since I know nothing about Windows it's a bit of
black magic what's done:
{
"variables":
{
"startup_script": "winrm quickconfig -quiet & net user /add packer &
net localgroup administrators packer /add & netsh advfirewall firewall set
rule name=\"Windows Remote Management (HTTP-In)\" profile=public new
remoteip=any & winrm set winrm/config/service @{AllowUnencrypted=\"true\"}
& winrm set winrm/config/service/auth @{Basic=\"true\"} & powershell.exe
-NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command \"Set-ExecutionPolicy
-ExecutionPolicy bypass -Force\""
},
"builders":
[
{
"type": "googlecompute",
"project_id": "packer-test-141600",
"disk_size": "50",
"image_name": "windows-dc-test-{{timestamp}}",
"disk_type": "pd-ssd",
"machine_type": "n1-standard-1",
"source_image": "windows-server-2016-dc-v20170227",
"zone": "europe-west1-b",
"communicator": "winrm",
"winrm_username": "packer",
"winrm_insecure": true,
"winrm_timeout": "300m",
"winrm_use_ssl": true,
"metadata": { "windows-startup-script-cmd": "{{user
`startup_script`}}" }
}
],
"provisioners": [{
"type": "powershell",
"inline": [
"dir c:\\"
]
}]
}
It would be awesome if you understand what the startup script does and
could clean it up and we could put it in the docs.
