Host operating system

Debug output

Provide a link to a GitHub Gist containing the complete debug output: https://www.vagrantup.com/docs/other/debugging.html. The debug output should be very long. Do NOT paste the debug output in the issue, just paste the link to the Gist. 2 files in the gist,

1 from the command: vagrant up --debug 2>&1 | Tee-Object -FilePath ".\vagrant_DetectLab 2 from the commadn: vagrant reload dc --provision --debug 2>&1 | Tee-Object -FilePath ".\vagrant_DetectLab2

Expected behavior

WinRM port forwards and provisioning should have occurred.

Actual behavior

WinRM port forwards occur initially, but then timeout and WinRM collisions (55985, 55986) occur on subsequent provisioning attempts.

Steps to reproduce

Checked the following items:

Used "./vagrant up" -failed as above in debug
Used "./vagrant reload dc --provision" - failed as above
Attempted complete fresh install of vagrant and vmware plugin (twice)

Attempted Fix:es (using "./vagrant reload dc --provision" after each)

Used "./vagrant destroy" then "./vagrant up"
Commented out any existing port forwards, the following link gives the proper location for VWWare Workstation (Similar to Issue #8130) C:\ProgramData\VMware\vmnetnat.conf
https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Workstation-Pro/12.0/com.vmware.ws.using.doc/GUID-C2EC7B92-A499-4B47-95B6-0BFDDA28AC34.html
Removed existing port forwards in the GUI for VMWare under "Edit -> Vitrual Network Editor -> NAT -> NAT Settings" -- Changing NAT Settings via the GUI triggers a restart of NAT services
Checked Host machine port allocations for 55985 and 55986, no associations were found.
Cleared "C:\ProgramData\hashicorp\vagrant-vmware-desktop\settings\nat.json"
Rebuilt the "VMWare Desktop Utility" via add/remove programs.
Toggled Host WinRM service just for good measure, though doubted this would help.

Any update/news on this? I am getting the same error. Using: VMware Workstation 15 Vagrant 2.2.4 Vagrant-VMware-Utility 1.0.7

nterl0k commented 5 years ago

No sir, I've also tested with VMware 15 and updated vagrant installation / plugins as well and have received the same error

jsecurity101 commented 5 years ago

Thanks for the update! Back to Virtualbox I guess :( @nterl0k

FWIW, I was able to build VMware VMs using Workstation 15 under Linux. I was then able to export to OVF and import into ESXi.

I don't understand the root cause of this bug, but removing the port forwarding for RDP from the Packer template seems to resolve the problem completely. I suspect Windows machines barf when trying to forward a port that is already being used and all additional port forwards either abort or fail.
