Hello I try to use Windows Update Packer provisioner to create Windows Server 2022 images. The code which I am using in the Packer configuration is:
provisioner "windows-update" { pause_before = "60s" search_criteria = "IsInstalled=0" filters = [ "exclude:$_.Title -like '*Preview*'", "exclude:$_.Title -like '*Defender*'", "exclude:$_.InstallationBehavior.CanRequestUserInput", "exclude:$_.KBArticleIDs -Contains '5033688'", # Exclude SQL CU25 "include:$true" ] restart_timeout = "120m" }What I can see in Github Actions Runner logs:
