Packer VirtualBox hang

[nbmp...@gmail.com]

Hi There,

I'm using https://github.com/taliesins/packer-baseboxes as a base for my images. As of yet none of the platforms have worked for me.

vSphere fails at SSH.

Vmware needs drivers. might need workstation pro which I don't have. Only have VMware player free.

Hyper-V needs hyper-v installed.

Virtualbox starts the process but hangs at the powershell scripts. Using virtualbox-windows-2012R2-serverstandard-amd64.json. Had to disable the uefi part in the autounattend.xml file. See below.

The packer log only gives a mix of these messages:

 I would love to use Packer but this is a real pain and documentation + google searches provide very limited help.

Anybody knows whats up?

FYI: Goal is to provision to vSphere.

Maybe you have a firewall on your host intercepting the traffic. Try adding -on-error=ask and do some troubleshooting of your network set up.
