Various fixes and allow building on Linux machines with qemu as an alternative to virtualbox/vmware #221

Closed jim-minter closed 5 years ago

1- update rsync version, old one no longer available at mirrors.kernel.org 2- use /image/index in Autounattend.xml so not reliant on precise image name: this is useful when not using identical install media locally (e.g. "Windows 7 Enterprise N" rather than "Windows 7 ENTERPRISE", etc.) 3- use netsh advfirewall command to set up firewall for winrm - this ensures the winrm service is available in all firewall profiles. This is important if vagrant up provides an interface with a different mac address at image runtime compared to packer build time, as happens with vagrant-libvirt 4- allow building on Linux machines with qemu as an alternative to virtualbox/vmware

@jim-minter @StefanScherer Are there any blockers on this PR? I would love to see this PR merged.

jim-minter commented 7 years ago

I made a minor change just now to make the config.vm.provider :libvirt sections stylistically more in keeping with their peers. I've stopped using packer-windows for now, but when I was using it, this PR worked fine for me.

It would be much easier to review and eventually merge if there are single PR's for each topic. Updating tool versions eg. is a low hanging fruit.
