These are the public version of the Packer templates we use to build Windows Server images for Vagrant, OpenStack, etc.
They are based on the templates provided by OpenTable and are available under the same license.
They include a trial license key and are therefore only valid for 30 days. You must replace the key in Autounattend.xml with a valid permanent key to use the generated OS images beyond this.
The images produced are Server Core (no GUI shell) unless otherwise specified.
Assuming you have Packer installed, issue the following command in the template directory:
$ packer build ./windows_2012_r2.json
You must put a valid installer iso (eg, from MSDN) in the "iso" subdirectory. Make sure it is referenced properly in the respective JSON file.
