same scripts working ok on none azure infrastructure based on other notes i've checked if its using a proxy - none is shown I've also tried disabling windows agent on the vm but still get the same error

FWIW, I have never encountered that problem.

This is what I'm successfully using on on-prem infrastructure to create a windows 2016 base image:

https://github.com/rgl/windows-2016-vagrant/blob/ddefee42f3ff3a434c657afbf908e7817aa639f6/windows-2016-vsphere.json#L58-L90

That memory usage seems pretty high, maybe try to increase it too.

it works on all other cloud providers and im using it in a few :-) and VirtualBox etc fine - it's just azure that it throws errors. I'll try running it on a box with more memory and see what it gives then

Marcus-James-Adams commented 4 years ago

That's it. It is the memory of the machine, I've been building on similar spec boxes to other clouds but if I move up a size and double the memory in azure it then works. Only MS would make a product that requires now power in their own cloud than it does in others.
