packer, Windows 10, virtualbox, vnc vs rdp?

[b...@tanners.org]

Building a Windows 10 virtualbox image from https://github.com/StefanScherer/packer-windows.git

$ packer build -only=virtualbox-iso --force windows_10.json

virtualbox-iso output will be in this color.

Output says VM is available via RDP at rdp://127.0.0.1:5939 but what is really running there is VNC server.

This a bug in the packer? The .json file? Lack of knowledge on my part?

packer-1.1.2

virtualbox -5.0.40-dfsg-0ubuntu1.16.04.1

[Rickard von Essen]

Pretty sure that is VRDP which is a superset of RDP. Do you have anything that backs up that it's actually VNC?

I can open a VNC client to vnc://127.0.0.1:5939 and get a Windows10 console.

Trying an RDP client to rdp://127.0.0.1:5939 givens me unable to connect.

[Alvaro Miranda Aguilera]

hello

try a different rdp client if possible

i think your vnc client also talks rdp protocol. but packer is just enabling vrdp that uses rdp protocol

I’ve tried

macOS Microsoft Remote Desktop 8.0.42 (Build 27325)

Windows 7, Windows 10, Windows 2016 mstsc 

All fail.

Yet, JollysFastVNC on macOS will connect and ultaVNC on Windows still connect.
