Packer WinRM Shell Provisioner

The WinRM Shell Provisioner for Packer allows you to provision a Windows Guest via shell commands or scripts that are executed via WinRM instead of the default SSH behaviour.

WinRM is a native Windows remote management capability that can provide a more reliable experience interacting with a remote Windows machine.

Installation

Download the binary for your platform and place on your execution $PATH environment variable, or alongside the Packer.io installation.

Manual Installation

Usage

The WinRM shell is very similar to the default Packer Shell provisioner, the main difference being the name of the provisioner is changed to winrm-shell:

"provisioners": [
   {
     "type": "winrm-shell",
     "inline": ["whoami"]
   }
]

Configuration Options

Aside from the default parameters from the Shell Provisioner, you can use Modified the below:

Authentication

• Username: The WinRM username. Defaults to 'vagrant'
• Password: The WinRM password. Defaults to 'vagrant'
• Hostname: The WinRM hostname. Defaults to 'localhost'
• Port: The WinRM connection port. Defaults to '5985'
