2024.05.13 19:12 nemanja_jovic Packer: Help with building Windows 11 image with vsphere-iso builder

Hello community,
I have been struggling to build the Windows 11 image on VMware, some help would be greatly appreciated.
I was able to configure HCL/Packer when it comes to VMware configuration (mostly I hope).
At the moment, Windows 11 gets provisioned until the moment that system boots with the Windows OS screen, and then it hangs, I believe that WinRM is not properly started via the XML answer file. I can confirm that answer file works because Windows settings for the setup are processed and Windows installation finishes.
Also, I could not use the floppy drive, since its not supported with UEFI and TPM, so I am mapping the VMware tools from the datastore, and will include in the answer file the part to install the tools - my doubt is, is the WinRM even started if the Packer can't connect with the IP?
I am having trouble to understand how to troubleshoot the answer file, its really cumbersome.
My packer console says waiting for the IP.
Any suggestions are very welcome, thanksss!
Here's my packer configuration file:
packer { required_plugins { vsphere = { version = "~> 1" source = "github.com/hashicorp/vsphere" } } } source "vsphere-iso" "windows11" { vcenter_server = "vcenter.automation.lab" username = "administrator@automation.lab" password = "MyPassword123" datacenter = "automation.lab" cluster = "Automation Lab Cluster" folder = "packer-tests" datastore = "datastore1" host = "esxi.automation.lab" insecure_connection = "true" vm_name = "Windows11_${uuidv4()}" communicator = "winrm" winrm_password = "MyPassword123" winrm_username = "Administrator" winrm_insecure = "true" winrm_timeout = "3m" winrm_use_ssl = "true" CPUs = "4" RAM = "4096" RAM_reserve_all = true cd_files = ["setup/autounattend.xml"] disk_controller_type = ["lsilogic-sas"] firmware = "efi" guest_os_type = "windows11_64Guest" iso_paths = [ "[datastore1] ISO/Win11_23H2_English_x64v2.iso", "[datastore1] vmware_tools/windows.iso" ] boot_wait = "20s" boot_command = [ "", "", "" ] http_directory = "./setup" tools_upgrade_policy = true network_adapters { network = "VM Network" network_card = "vmxnet3" } storage { disk_size = "65536" disk_thin_provisioned = false } convert_to_template = "true" vTPM = true } build { sources = ["source.vsphere-iso.windows11"] provisioner "windows-shell" { inline = ["dir c:\\"] } }

<p><div class="md">I had purchased the ultimate edition a few months back and installed it. The game needed some serious fine tuning as we all know but the game and the dlc's functioned. I upgraded my cpu so did a fesh install of windows and reinstalled CS2 of course. For some reason the expansion wont install. just stays highlighted saying install. I was able to get the San Fran and the radio dlc to install separately from the expansion but none of the dlc content shows up in my game. I have unistalled and reinstalled at least a dozen times. I followed several corrective measures posted online like deleting a bunch of files in regedit and doing promts in powershell but that did'nt work either.<br /> If i load an earlier save with the dlc items, the golden gate bridge and auto shops show up on the map but not in my options to build.<br /> I'm looking forward to start playing the game again but reluctant to continue building if it all may get wiped out. Not to mention I am missing some cool items from the dlc<br /> </div> &#32; submitted by &#32; <a href="?id=18911"> DonnieDangerStreet </a> &#32; to &#32; <a href="?id=10282"> CitiesSkylines2 </a> <span><a href="?id=17728">[link]</a></span> &#32; <span><a href="?id=17214">[comments]</a></span></p>

Basically what happens is what you can see <a href="?id=28223">on this Reddit video from another user</a>. This PC is used for office work only, thus, no games or spectacular apps are on there and the iGPU should be totally fine with 2 displays. As soon as I boot up and the displays shows the Windows login screen, everything starts blacking out or freezing. This only happens when <br /> a) both displays are connected and <br /> b) the AMD display driver is installed and used by Windows (in device manager). <br /> As soon as I switch to the basic graphics adapter or boot into Windows safe mode, there are no problems but of course I can then only use one display at 60Hz instead of 100Hz.<br /> <strong>Troubleshooting:</strong> <br /> <ul> <li>BIOS updated to current stable v2.10.

<p><div class="md">I'm writing this post from Win11 MacBook Pro 2018 Intel.<br /> Now I'm on my way to get PhD and MBA soon, so there is a lot of work, but my mac became so slow, especially when I use MS Office. I've decided to make a clean install of Sonoma and removed a lot of unused nowadays programs. <br /> After clean install mac became much faster, but not enough for MS Office apps, I've got a Win 10 license, and installed it via BootCamp as usual. I have only 256 Gbs SSD, so divided it into 2 halfs.<br /> Win 10 installation took me about half an hour, after that I've installed all the updates for windows and Bootcamp (via Apple update service) to get the latest drivers.<br /> After that I used <a href="?id=1062">https://github.com/AveYo/MediaCreationTool.bat</a> , just downloaded the tool with auto install option and got a fres new 23H2 version of Win 11 with no unsupported deices in DevMgmt. That took me another 30 mins. No TPM check and other problems, i automatically downloads all the stuff from official MS site and configures it. <br /> The last 30 mins i spend installing updates for Win 11, printer drivers, Mendeley Reference Manager and QuickLook app, along with keyboard and mouse. If you need, you can flipflop the wheel direction for the apple mouse using regedit (just google it)<br /> Now I have MacBook Pro 2018 256 with 2-parted SSD, fresh installed MacOS Sonoma (30 Gbs of 120 used), and Win 11 (50 of 120 gbs used) with all the needed programs installed on both OS.<br /> What I wanna mention:<br /> MacBook Pro 2018 on Win 11 is much responsive in all scenarios, especially for MS Office apps.<br /> Win 11 looks great, fast and clean. Check out the great gestures along with windows allignment tool and multi-clipboard already in-the-box. The only one cons found is out of AirPlay, but I use a shared folder for VLC player on my AppleTV to watch films via projector.<br /> So all you need to get Win 11 on MacbookPro Intel is:<br /> <ol> <li>Clean install of licensed Win 10 via BootCamp (using ISO from official site)</li> <li>Get the latest updates (check there is no unsupported devices in device manager) for windows and Bootcamp (via Apple update service) </li> <li>Use <a href="?id=6597">https://github.com/AveYo/MediaCreationTool.bat</a> with auto install option to install the latest Win 11 (it also automatically chooses the same licensed version).</li> <li>Get the latest updates for Win 11</li> <li>Install QuickLook to use spacebar for preview. Install all the needed programs.</li> <li>Enjoy :)</li> </ol> &#x200B;<br /> &#x200B;<br /> </div> &#32; submitted by &#32; <a href="?id=7336"> Zealousideal_Pair687 </a> &#32; to &#32; <a href="?id=14209"> mac </a> <span><a href="?id=26797">[link]</a></span> &#32; <span><a href="?id=20866">[comments]</a></span></p>

<p><div class="md">EDIT: solved, see comments.<br /> <h> Hi all.<br /> My Asus RT-AXE7800 Router has a single 2.5g-capable LAN port, as does my Asus B550m PC. Yet connecting them brings "unidentified network" status in the Windows Control Panel. "Diagnose" brings error that IP cannot be configured (it's set to Auto-detect) & "ipconfig /renew" brings "An error occurred while renewing interface Ethernet : unable to contact your DHCP server".<br /> Restarting DHCP service via CMD or services.msc as-admin brings "access denied". Setting the relevant permissions in regedit to full ("everyone" has "full control") then resets itself (unticking "everyone") after the obligatory restart. I'm the only user anyway but thought it was worth a try. No changes either after a network reset via Windows-settings, DNS flushes via CMD and the usual CMD reset commands which require system restarts...also disabled IPv6 to no avail.<br /> It's as if there's a perma-access-denied issue preventing this network to be identified. The router's settings (via WLAN-enabled asusrouter.com) claims the LAN is enabled and houses a standard 192.168 local address, whereas an ipconfig in Windows reveals an automated 169'er (standard IP for unidentified networks). Changing this via IPv4 to manual to match didn't change the "unidentified" status. Hard-resetting the router & upgrading its firmware also brings no change, neither did re-installing the LAN-Adapter using the latest drivers.<br /> I'm using standard LAN6 cables.<br /> Using the 1g LAN ports on the router works fine, identifies right away and is stable. But speed is thus only 1000mbps.<br /> Feels like I've exhausted all options...but maybe there's something obvious (or obscure) I'm missing.<br /> Any ideas?<br /> </div> &#32; submitted by &#32; <a href="?id=14045"> slowlyun </a> &#32; to &#32; <a href="?id=14469"> techsupport </a> <span><a href="?id=13353">[link]</a></span> &#32; <span><a href="?id=16879">[comments]</a></span></p>

<p><div class="md">I understand that on Windows - for a regular individual's computer, blocking the outbound of MicrosoftEdgeUpdate.exe - for a computer connected to Active Directory, utilizing the group policy or regedit disables auto updates.<br /> So as a regular individual user, I can disable auto update of both Edge and Edge Beta by using a firewall.<br /> However, I would like to have either 1) Edge to be updated normally, and Edge Beta not to be updated 2) Edge not to be updated, and Edge Beta to be updated normally.<br /> Is it possible?<br /> It's because I need a specific old version only for a specific purpose, but also I would like to have an updated version too.<br /> Thanks!<br /> </div> &#32; submitted by &#32; <a href="?id=8629"> raerded </a> &#32; to &#32; <a href="?id=14120"> MicrosoftEdge </a> <span><a href="?id=25960">[link]</a></span> &#32; <span><a href="?id=28098">[comments]</a></span></p>

<p><div class="md">Hey guys, just installed and everything works but im in my college dorm and can't get the wired connection working, i see the LAN icon in the bottom right so im connected but no internet. wifi isn't an option and it sucks here anyway. Below are the provided windows instructions from my university for setting it up and this is how i've been doing it on windows no problem and i tried finding the Linux equivalent steps but im honestly just feeling my way around in the dark here.<br /> &#x200B;<br /> EDIT: I figured it out, leaving up for future reference because I couldn't find a similar post. <br /> <strong>SOLUTION:</strong> Go to your network settings and under <strong>Wired</strong>, click <strong>Add Profile</strong>. In the <strong>security tab</strong> check <strong>802.1x security</strong> and configure it based on what your school tells you to do in windows so in my case <strong>PEAP authentication</strong>, and <strong>MSCHAPv2</strong> for inner auth. Check the box that says <strong>no CA certificate</strong> and put in your login credentials. You may be prompted again to put in your creds, after that you should connect.<br /> &#x200B;<br /> <strong>Here's the windows steps my school provided:</strong><br /> Click on <strong>Start > Run</strong> and type in <strong>services.msc</strong> and press enter<br /> <ul> <li>Right click on <strong>Wired AutoConfig</strong> and left click on <strong>Properties</strong>.</li> <li>Make the following changes:</li> </ul> <ol> <li>Change <strong>Startup type</strong> to <strong>Automatic</strong>.</li> <li>Click <strong>Start</strong> to start the service</li> <li>Click <strong>OK</strong> to save changes</li> </ol> <ul> <li>Access your Network Interfaces via Control Panel.
