A collection of Packer templates for building Windows Vagrant boxes across Windows Server and desktop versions. It automates unattended Windows installation, updates, and OpenSSH setup for VMware and VirtualBox providers.

Use cases

  • build windows vagrant boxes automatically
  • create windows vm images with packer
  • automate unattended windows installation
  • generate windows server templates for virtualbox
  • provision windows 10 box for development
  • pre-install windows updates in vm images

When to choose

  • you need reproducible Windows Vagrant boxes for VMware or VirtualBox
  • you want automated unattended Windows setup with updates and OpenSSH
  • you maintain legacy Windows 7/8/2008-2012 test environments

When to avoid

  • you need modern Windows 11 or Hyper-V/Cloud images
  • you want actively maintained templates - the repo has not been updated since 2019
  • you build Linux images instead of Windows
