Slow vagrant up on Windows guest

[Thomas Messier]

I'm getting started using vagrant and am testing things. I'm using a Windows 2012 R2 box based on evaluation provided by Microsoft (mwrock/Windows2012R2). My versatile doesn't do anything special beyond forwarding remote desktop port and assigning static ip on private network. When I do vagrant up, it seems rather slow (I realize the first vagrant up is slow because it downloads the base box, I mean every time after that). Everything I read seems to indicate that it should take 25-30 seconds, but in my case it takes about 2.5 minutes. Anything that can be done to speed that up? Or is that actually a normal bout time for a Windows guest. Am unsure because most cases I read about deal with Linux guests.

I'm running Mac OS Sierra on a MacBook Pro with a 2.2Ghz core i7 with 16GB of RAM.

Hello,

What you can do is repackage the VM after some changes.

If you edit the services and move most of them from start to deferred/delayed  start will help to boot it faster.

Thanks for the quick reply! I will give that a try. So I have the right expectation though, in your experience, what should I be looking for in a best case scenario? Should I aspire to 30 seconds or under, or does it typically take longer than that with Windows guests?
