Windows Restart Provisioner

Type: windows-restart

The Windows restart provisioner initiates a reboot on a Windows machine and waits for the machine to come back online.

The Windows provisioning process often requires multiple reboots, and this provisioner helps to ease that process.

Basic Example

The example below is fully functional.

{
  "type": "windows-restart"
}

Configuration Reference

The reference of available configuration options is listed below.

Optional parameters:

• restart_command (string) - The command to execute to initiate the restart. By default this is shutdown /r /c "packer restart" /t 5 && net stop winrm. A key action of this is to stop WinRM so that Packer can detect it is rebooting.

• restart_check_command (string) - A command to execute to check if the restart succeeded. This will be done in a loop.

• restart_timeout (string) - The timeout to wait for the restart. By default this is 5 minutes. Example value: "5m"
