Starting with PowerShell 5, the progress bar can be observed via the
Write-Progress cmdlet. From WinRM, this appears as a stderr output.
Vagrant assumes that there is error if output appears on stderr.
This terminates various scripts which previously executed successfully
in Vagrant (prior to Windows 10).
This fix injects a variable assignment at various points of the script
execution process to disable display of the progress bar.
We gained a ton of improvemnts to WinRM error handling in
https://github.com/mitchellh/vagrant/pull/4943, but we also got one bug.
The new code raises an exception when `winrm_info` does not return right
away. This was preventing us from catching the retry/timout logic that's
meant to wait until boot_timeout for the WinRM communicator to be ready.
This restores the proper behavior by rescuing the WinRMNotReady
exception and continuing to retry until the surrounding timeout fires.
Adds a configurable value for WinRm and the elevated permission shell ExecutionTimeLimit.
Please see mitchellh/vagrant#5506
Ex: config.winrm.execution_time_limit = "P1D"
Leaving around plaintext username and passwords in a script on a box isn't the best from a security standpoint. This change ensures the scheduled task wrapper script for WinRM doesn't leave these around on the box, and instead passes them to the script as arguments.
When the winrm communicator executes a command in an elevated shell,
this patch causes it to escape double quotes.
This is necessary as the first line in the file that it produces and
then executes it puts the command into a variable called command that
is delimited by double quotes.
Command failures include the stdout and stderr in the error message just like the SSH communicator.
Its now possible to specify only an error_class and have that use the correct error_key by default.
Elevated command line is now rendered to a script which is uploaded to the guest and executed. This allows the command line itself to be less than 100 chars to start the script and any user commands are puts into the script which has unlimited* length.
*nix commands are now filtered out instead of being sent to the guest. This means the command_alias PowerShell script is no longer needed.
Moved the PowerShell exit code helper to the WinRM shell and changed it to always return an exit code.
