- place it in a directory called iso

The installation uses the Standard way for Windows Unattended installation. The XML file was created using the Windows AIK kit, but the file can also be edited by hand.

You can download Automated Installation Kit (AIK) for Windows Vista SP1 and Windows Server 2008:

file: 6001.18000.080118-1840-kb3aikl_en.iso

- Building the machine creates a floppy that contains:
  - AutoUnattend.xml (that will configure the windows)
  - winrm-install.bat (activates the http and https listener + punches the firewall hole)

AIK also includes dism, which will allow you to choose a specific version:

If you want to install a different version, edit Autoattended.xml and replace the /IMAGE/NAME value with
one of the names listed in the Longhorn install.wim on the install .iso

<InstallFrom>
    <MetaData wcm:action="add">
        <Key>/IMAGE/NAME</Key>
        <Value>Windows Longhorn SERVERSTANDARD</Value> ### This comes from the Name: field below
    </MetaData>
</InstallFrom>

This gets us nearly there, but we still need a winrm provisioner, as I don't like having to install cygwin.

Expose the winrm port:

<pre>
$ gem install chef
$ gem install knife-windows
#Create a tunnel
$ ssh -p 7222 -L5985:localhost:5985 vagrant@localhost
$ knife bootstrap windows winrm localhost -x Administrator -P 'vagrant'
</pre>

winrm get winrm/config

The purpose of configuring WinRM for HTTPS is to encrypt the data being sent across the wire.

WinRM HTTPS requires a local computer "Server Authentication" certificate with a CN matching the hostname, that is not expired, revoked, or self-signed to be installed.

To install or view certificates for the local computer:

- click Start, run, MMC, "File" menu, "Add or Remove Snap-ins" select "Certificates" and click "Add".  Go through the wizard selecting "Computer account".

- Install or view the certificates under:
Certificates (Local computer)
    Personal
        Certificates

If you do not have a Sever Authenticating certificate consult your certicate administrator.  If you have a microsoft Certificate server you may be abel to request a certificate using the web certificate template from HTTPS://<MyDomainCertificateServer>/certsrv

Once the certificate is installed type the following to configure WINRM to listen on HTTPS:

winrm quickconfig -transport:https

 If you do not have an appropriate certificate you can run the following with the authentication methods configured for WinRM however the data will not be encrypted.

winrm quickconfig
