But if you use Vagrant and VirtualBox, you can virtualize and save time.

VAGRANT WINDOWS HOW TO
– We have just demonstrated how to create a Vagrant box for Windows 10 that can be licensed later if needed.Virtualization can be time-consuming, especially in open source.
VAGRANT WINDOWS INSTALL
Vagrant plugin install winrm-fs vagrant plugin install vagrant-vbguest Add winrm-fs and vbguest in your physical host to allow shared folders syncing and auto-install of Vbox Guest additions package (if not done on the base box).Vagrant box add /path/to/output/ Win10Pro.box -name brokedba/Win10pro Add the box to vagrant repo you name it as you wish.Vagrant package -base Win10Pro -output /path/to/output/ Win10Pro.box -vagrantfile /path/to/initial/ Vagrantfile Export the VirtualBox as Vagrant box ( make sure your CDV drive is empty).# Customize the name of VM in VirtualBox manager UI:

# within the machine from a port on the host machine.Ĭonfig.vm.network "forwarded_port", guest: 80, host: 8080Ĭonfig.vm.network :forwarded_port, guest: 3389, host: 3389Ĭonfig.vm.network :forwarded_port, guest: 5985, host: 5985, id: "winrm", auto_correct: true # Create a forwarded port mapping which allows access to a specific port # configures the configuration version (for backwards compatibility). # All Vagrant configuration is done below.

Solution: Create a new Vagrant Box from scratch
VAGRANT WINDOWS SOFTWARE
The bottom line is those Vagrant Boxes had an evaluation-only license and were not licensed to activate the software permanently. Vagrant Box version after another, l still faced the same issue when trying to license it.You don’t want your OS to shut off in a middle of a migration task! We even bought license keys but the VMs couldn’t get activated. What happens when the Windows evaluation period ends?Īs soon as these evaluation-based Vagrant boxes expired, the VMs started to shut down every hour or so, which puts one’s work at risk.To make it even faster to spin as the team grew, I decided to find Vagrant boxes in Vagrant Cloud and shared the Vagrantfile with my colleagues. My team has recently been provided VPN links to a client’s environment that cuts internet access and this made us think of a workaround to isolate that network within a VirtualBox VM which worked like a charm. Why create a Window Virtual Machine inside a PC laptop
VAGRANT WINDOWS PRO
In this blog, we will showcase how to create a Vagrant box based on windows 10 pro that you can activate if you have a license.
VAGRANT WINDOWS TRIAL
That’s exactly what I did but I faced a problem after the trial period expired as I couldn’t even license it using a product key. The easiest way? Just shop around in Vagrant Cloud, identify a Windows box, and spin it using Vagrant up. There are many examples online on how to create a Linux Vagrant Box including mine.
