  • Swapped the connection plugin from winrm to psrp for faster builds. The pypsrp Python library needs to be installed.

Specific changes to this host type

  • Enabled TLSv1.2 on the SChannel server now the patch is not faulty.

v0.6.0 - 2019-01-20

  • Fix logic when setting the LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy value when setting up the WinRM listener
  • Added ability to override the base Chocolatey packages that are installed with the image, use the opt_package_setup_packages variable with -e when generating the template to configure

  • Create a PS Module called PackerWindoze that stores the Reset-WinRMConfig cmdlet that recreates the WinRM configuration and keep that post sysprep for downstream users to call at any time
  • Added support for the Server 1803 image
  • Install the full sysinternals suite instead of just PsTools, ProcMon, and ProcExp
  • Fixed issue where the WinRM HTTPS firewall rule was not created after sysprep
  • Fixed issue where WinRM still allowed unencrypted data after sysprep

v0.3.0 - 2018-05-10

  • Updated OpenSSH version to v7.6.1.0p1-Beta
  • Set the builtin vagrant account password to never expire
  • Stop using the Ansible ConfigureRemotingForAnsible.ps1 script, swap over to custom script to support SHA256 and simplify steps
  • Added Hyper-V builder support by specifying -e opt_packer_setup_builder=hyperv - This will only run on a Windows with WSL host and doesn't work for Server 2008

Specific changes to this host type

v0.2.0 - 2017-12-01

  • Create a custom Vagrantfile template for the final image that includes the username and other required settings

Version Specific Changes
