Windows Guest, IIS, and Virtualbox, is there a better solution than rsync?

[Andrew Harris]

I have taken and modified the https://github.com/joefitzgerald/packer-windows repository to generate a windows 2012r2 core vagrant box. I have managed to find my way through all the provisioning and have what should be a working dev environment that can host our ASP.NET websites. To allow developers who work in linux and mac environments to still properly test the websites, I have set up shared folders that IIS then configures as site root. Unfortunately, I can only get the sites to work using rsync, and the initial sync takes up to an hour for some of our sites. I would like to find a way to use any of the other three options, nfs, smb, or virtualbox, to share the website through some built in vagrant means so that when someone else has to maintain this setup, it isn't obfuscated behind multiple layers of indirection that would be required to manually mount either nfs or smb. Anyone have any ideas on how have this kind of setup?

Have you tried booting the box with the GUI enabled and manually
configuring a SMB share between the host and the guest?

That would be explicit, meeting your criteria, and you would be sure
of how it was configured and whether or not it works.
