I have some PowerShell scripts which I run through WinRM using packer, not
sure if that might work for your environment

Re: [packer] packer Azure vscode

[Angel Rengifo Cancino]

You can use "-var YourVar=YourValue" or "-var-file=vars-files.json" as
arguments to packer build command.

Does that help?

[packer] VM name when building image with azure-arm builder

[Angel Rengifo Cancino]

Hello guys:

Does anybody know how to set the VM name during image creation using 
azure-arm builder? Currently, my VM is getting a random name. I was not 
able to find an option to set a custom name; maybe I missed any info from 
the docs.

I hope someone can help me with this.

Thanks in advance

[packer] Floppy gets suddenly disconnected when building images

[Angel Rengifo Cancino]

Hello guys:

I'm running packer 1.4.2 with vsphere-iso builder on VMware vSphere 6.0.*. 
I've recently noticed that the floppy drive assigned to my Windows VM 
(which contains Autounattend.xml and some scripts) gets disconnected, 
sometimes, which affects the process of configuration of the OS.

It seems that the floppy device gets disconnected after Windows reboots (as 
part of the installation process). Have anyone experienced anything similar 
to this behavior?

 How do I get the IP? I'm not aware of any packer variable or setting that
contains such value in a similar way as {{.WinRMPassword}} for password.

Ansible 2.8 does work pretty well with WinRM. However, the special "packer"
connection used by ansible provisioner it requires a plugin, as far as I
know, but that's where I get confused.

[packer] Windows AMI creation on EC2

[Angel Rengifo Cancino]

Hello guys:

I have a doubt. What's the currently recommended or supported way of
provisioning Windows with ansible on EC2?

I mean, there's a Ansible connection plugin for Packer that must be created
(downloaded or installed) before attempting to use a code like this:

"provisioners": [
  {
"type": "*ansible*",
"playbook_file": "../playbooks/windows_image_build/playbook.yml",

"extra_arguments": [
  "--extra-vars", "{'environment_name': 'packer',
'hosting_environment': 'aws',* 'connection': 'packer'*}",
  "--skip-tags", "gitchecks",
  "--skip-tags", "gather_facts",
  "--skip-tags", "slack"
]
  }
]

The other way I had in mind is running ansible with shell-local, like this:

"provisioners": [
{
"type": "*shell-local*",
"inline":   [
"ansible-playbook -i {{ user `os_ipaddr` }}, \\",
"-e ansible_user='{{ user `os_adminuser` }}' \\",
"-e ansible_password='{{ user `os_adminpass` }}' \\",
"-e os_update='{{ user `os_update` }}' \\",
"-e os_firstinstall={{ user `os_firstinstall`}} \\",
"{{ user `ansible_playbook` }}"
]
}
]

(please ignore my custom vars)

I'm not sure how to setup my connection plugin for ansible 2.8.x. Any ideas
on this?

Otherwise, do you know how can I get the public IPv4 and password for my
recently created Windows EC2 instance? I'm not sure if {{.WinRMPassword}}
variable is valid here.

Hope someone can give me some guidance.

Thanks in advance

Re: [packer] Waiting for WinRM to become available"

[Angel Rengifo Cancino]

Why can't you just modify the disk_controller_type value to the desired
value? Just copy and/or extract the contents of packer config file that is
useful to you.

Maybe I'm not understanding your problem.

While waiting for WinRM to connect, try connectivity to port 5986 (SSL) or
5985 (no SSL). See which of those ports work.

Thank you, Alvaro. I'll double check if open-vm-tools is working as

[packer] Cannot shutdown because of VMware Tools not running

[Angel Rengifo Cancino]

Hello guys:

Have anyone experienced this error before?

"vsphere-clone: Cannot shut down VM: ServerFaultCode: Cannot complete
operation because VMware Tools is not running in this virtual machine."

I'm using vsphere-clone builder. It's really strange that this error
message appears seldom when I clone a VM from the same template. Most of
the time it completes the clone process OK, without any issues, but
sometimes (it seems randomly) it just fails with such reason.

If someone has experienced this behavior before, please share some tips
about how to solve this problem. Thanks in advance.

Once you have done it, you can code your playbook like this:

- hosts: all
  vars:
ansible_password: DontBeCurious
ansible_connection: winrm
ansible_winrm_server_cert_validation: ignore
ansible_user: administrator
ansible_port: 5986
  tasks:
- name: Enable NTP service
  win_service:
name: w32time
state: started
start_mode: auto
...
...


Thanks
