This works for me building W2016 Servers, YMMV...
Here is my build file:
{
"builders": [{
"type": "amazon-ebs",
"vpc_id": "**********",
"subnet_id": "**********",
"region": "us-east-1",
"source_ami": "**********",
"ami_name": "My packer-demo-{{timestamp}}",
"user_data_file": "*./USERDATA2.0.txt*",
"communicator": "winrm",
"winrm_username": "Administrator",
"instance_type": "m3.medium",
"winrm_use_ssl": true,
"winrm_insecure": true
}],
"provisioners": [
{
"type": "file",
"source": "./packages/something/",
"destination": "C:\\temp"
},
{
"type": "powershell",
"script": "./install_something.ps1"
},
{
"type": "powershell",
"inline": [
"C:/ProgramData/Amazon/EC2-Windows/Launch/Scripts/InitializeInstance.ps1
-Schedule"
,
"C:/ProgramData/Amazon/EC2-Windows/Launch/Scripts/SysprepInstance.ps1
-NoShutdown"
]
}
]
}
Then in *USERDATA2.0.txt* I have:
<powershell>
write-output "Running User Data Script"
write-host "(host) Running User Data Script"
Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Scope LocalMachine -Force -ErrorAction
Ignore
# Don't set this before Set-ExecutionPolicy as it throws an error
$ErrorActionPreference = "stop"
# Remove HTTP listener
Remove-Item -Path WSMan:\Localhost\listener\listener* -Recurse
$Cert = New-SelfSignedCertificate -CertstoreLocation Cert:\LocalMachine\My
-DnsName "packer"
New-Item -Path WSMan:\LocalHost\Listener -Transport HTTPS -Address *
-CertificateThumbPrint $Cert.Thumbprint -Force
#Create Folder for Package Source Files (AMI Install Version)
Write-Host "Doing Temp File Folder Creation"
New-Item -Path "c:\" -name "temp" -itemType "directory" -force
# WinRM
write-output "Setting up WinRM"
write-host "(host) setting up WinRM"
cmd.exe /c winrm quickconfig -q
cmd.exe /c winrm set "winrm/config" '@{MaxTimeoutms="1800000"}'
cmd.exe /c winrm set "winrm/config/winrs" '@{MaxMemoryPerShellMB="1024"}'
cmd.exe /c winrm set "winrm/config/service" '@{AllowUnencrypted="true"}'
cmd.exe /c winrm set "winrm/config/client" '@{AllowUnencrypted="true"}'
cmd.exe /c winrm set "winrm/config/service/auth" '@{Basic="true"}'
cmd.exe /c winrm set "winrm/config/client/auth" '@{Basic="true"}'
cmd.exe /c winrm set "winrm/config/service/auth" '@{CredSSP="true"}'
cmd.exe /c winrm set "winrm/config/listener?Address=*+Transport=HTTPS"
"@{Port=`"5986`";Hostname=`"packer`";CertificateThumbprint=`"$($Cert.Thumbprint)`"}"
cmd.exe /c netsh advfirewall firewall set rule group="remote
administration" new enable=yes
cmd.exe /c netsh firewall add portopening TCP 5986 "Port 5986"
Set-Item WSMan:\localhost\Shell\MaxMemoryPerShellMB 2048
cmd.exe /c net stop winrm
cmd.exe /c sc config winrm start= auto
cmd.exe /c net start winrm
</powershell>
Try that setup.
