Login to Windows VM which faced failed ansible provisioning

[Muhammad Faizan-Ul-Haq]

I am trying to create a Windows 10 image in Azure using packer and provision it using ansible.

My provisioning is failing and I want to troubleshoot it but somehow I am not able to login (RDP )to the VM created by docker using the winrm_password.

I wonder if I am doing something wrong.

packer build -on-error=abort -var ----

does that user/pass have access to the VM?

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/windows/build-image-with-packer

That may explain why this is failing

per documentation should be client_secret and not winrm_password

According to my understanding this is not the case. Anyways, for me it does not work with client secret either. 

I can RDP to the VM (temporary VM created by packer) if I use ssh_password. But if I use this element, winrm connectivity does not work and hence my ansible playbook cant be run.

Any other hint ?
