Windows 7 trial on Ubuntu 16.04: Timeout waiting for WinRM

[obilodeau]

• WinRM service is running, configuration happened
• VirtualBox NAT rule is in place and proper port is exposed to packer
• Windows firewall rule for 5985 is in place
• Verified the NIC's network realm (public, work, private) and verified if firewall rule is according
• Telnet connects
• Sniffing with wireshark reveals that a TCP SYN on the right port is received when trying to use a winrm connector manually from the host (a pywinrm script)

Also,

• upgraded packer from 0.12 to 1.0.2 just in case, didn't change anything

Found it! I need to find a way to override this automatically detected setting.

Network connection type is not switched to a "trusted" network type by the powershell script fixnetworks.ps1. I tried inlining it into enablewinrm.ps1 but that didn't work. I added pause to the script. Here's the output of the failing FirstLogon command:

Testing a workaround right now. Sleeping for a few seconds is enough to let the network come up and the network change take effect.

Fixed by #64 in commit 94b3b46 and 599e033
