Put an overarching "Try\Catch" statement around the inline script and set each of the cmdlets "ErrorAction" property to "Stop". In the Catch block do a Write-Output such as the one below. This will echo out any errors you encounter..
Write-Output "This is the error... Error Details: $($_.Exception.Message)" Also, make sure you have everything in the inline script quoted and escaped correctly. You can verify this by taking a look a the resultant scripts Packer creates on the host machine. In your case, per your last log, the file path to check is "C:/Windows/Temp/packer-elevated-shell-5cfe3930-983a-f36e-80b0-4053f8326643.ps1" " On Mon, Jun 10, 2019 at 7:31 AM Emin Askerov <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello All, > > > I am stuck with simple Packer template which provisions Windows 10 image > in Azure.
