If I don't give ssh_username, ssh_password, An error will occur: "An ssh_username must be specified."

Is ssh optional or must required for packaging VM?

I was having troubles getting the hyper-v communicator working consistently across guest OSes. So, I tried to get ssh working. If I remember correctly, ssh is used to detect when the silent installs are complete. There was something with hyper-v communicator that was causing a block, but I cannot recall at this time what it was.

I got busy with work and have not had time to work on this. My fork had diverged from msopentech significantly. I hoped Microsoft would put more work into theirs.
