I finally found out what the issue was. I had to add /quiet to my sysprep command.
I also upgraded to packer 11 Because I did not have /quiet sysprep was opening a dialog box and due to that the sysprep process was not finishing properly. There were no errors logged but when I created VM's from the image I was getting a vague "Provisioning failed..." error. I tested created VM's and VM Scalesets with the image I created and they both work. I like packer but I did not find many good examples for creating Windows VM's on Azure. Most were Linux. So I am going to find time and blog them here http://www.rajinders.com Thanks for taking the time to help me. %windir%\system32\sysprep\sysprep.exe /generalize /oobe /shutdown /quiet On Sunday, November 6, 2016 at 6:17:49 AM UTC-6, Alvaro Miranda Aguilera wrote: > > > On Sat, Nov 5, 2016 at 10:00 PM, Rajinder Singh <[email protected] > <javascript:>> wrote: > >> %windir%\system32\sysprep\sysprep.exe /generalize /oobe /shutdown >> > > Hello. > > > What It may be happening is the VM is not being created properly. > > If that command returns to the promp,. then packer will think the VM > failed since he cant connect and shutdown. > > What about if you replace the shutdown command with that: > "%windir%\system32\sysprep\sysprep.exe /generalize /oobe /shutdown" > > I would replace %windir% with the actual folder name just to be sure. > > Hope this helps. > Alvaro. > > > -- > Alvaro > > -- This mailing list is governed under the HashiCorp Community Guidelines - https://www.hashicorp.com/community-guidelines.html.
