1 year ago Hi @csomisetty-clgx,
Just looking at the configuration, it's hard to explain the reason of the timeouts as they could be diverse (the password creation process can take long for many reasons: latency, slow host, memory contention, etc.).
To circumvent your problem, have you considered using the windows_password_timeout environment variable?
This defaults to 3m right now, and it is likely the reason why you see the error message you're experiencing, maybe bumping this will fix your problem on its own?
For more precision, you mention frequent timeouts, I assume this sometimes succeed?
In order to get more information about the root cause, could you run Packer with the PACKER_LOG=1 environment variable?

We are getting timeouts from winrm while creating password for the windows2019 instance in GCP. Below are the logs attached
