Hello,
I am trying to achieve building windows servers with some packages [like
installing webserver] using virtualbox and ansible.
I am able to build minimum OS without ansible. But when I added ansible
post provisioner, its failing. The problem is its unable to reach the newly
built VM in virtualbox.
Please share if you have successful in this kind of solution. I tried with
removing inventory file section and allowed packer to create dynamically
created host file. but still failed.
Below is the packer section:
