Doing so will give you hours back in your day, which is a good thing.

### Windows 7 support

Windows 7 is going out of support in January 2020, and the scripts for building Windows 7 machines are only
sporadically maintained.

Windows 7 was first released in 2009. This means there are a lot of updates available for Windows 7,
and running Windows Updates on a Windows 7 box using the mechanism described above takes an extremely long time.

The Windows 7 templates therefore take a slightly different approach, first installing Service Pack 1,
updating the servicing stack and then installing the latest update rollup, .NET 4.8 and PowerShell 5.1.
Finally, any missing updates are installed using Ansible.

This means you'll need to install Ansible on your machine if you want to run the Windows 7 scripts.
You can [install ansible on a Linux machine](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/installation_guide/intro_installation.html).

If you want to run these scripts on a Windows machine, you can try to run Ansible in cygwin or Bash on Ubuntu on Windows.
Alternatively, you can disable the `ansible` steps in the `windows_7.json` file. Make sure to manually run
Windows Update if you do!

### WinRM

These boxes use WinRM. There is no OpenSSH installed.

```

### Parallels support

In case you're using Parallels, you can now build the `Windows Server 2019 with Docker` VM.

Prerequisites:
* Parallels Pro or Business, version 11 and up.
* Vagrant Parallels Provider: https://github.com/Parallels/vagrant-parallels

You can use the following sample command to build a Parallels VM:

```
packer build --only=parallels-iso windows_2019_docker.json
```


The Parallels builder config turns `efi boot` off in order to use the same answer file like all the other builders. If you find you need to turn `efi boot` on then make sure to adjust the appropriate answer file, especially the section regarding the partitioning of the disk.
If you need to further customize the VM, consult the documentation at https://www.packer.io/docs/builders/parallels-iso.html.

description:
- Pipelining reduces the number of SSH operations required to execute a module on the remote server,
by executing many Ansible modules without actual file transfer.
- This can result in a very significant performance improvement when enabled.
- However this conflicts with privilege escalation (become).
For example, when using sudo operations you must first disable 'requiretty' in the sudoers file for the target hosts,
which is why this feature is disabled by default.
