You then can use this box with Vagrant to spin up a Hyper-V VM. Vagrant
currently needs some patches as well, see the script
[install-vagrant.ps1](hyperv/scripts/install-vagrant.ps1) how to patch Vagrant
1.8.4 to fix these issues.
You then can use this box with Vagrant to spin up a Hyper-V VM.
#### Generation 2 VMs
Some of these images use Hyper-V "Generation 2" VMs to enable the latest features and faster booting. However, an extra manual step is needed to put the needed files into ISOs because Gen2 VMs don't support virtual floppy disks.
-`windows_server_insider.json`
-`windows_server_insider_docker.json`
-`windows_10_insider.json`
Before running `packer build`, be sure to run `./make_unattend_iso.ps1` first. Otherwise the build will fail on a missing ISO file

### Using .box Files With Vagrant
The generated box files include a Vagrantfile template that is suitable for use
with Vagrant 1.7.4+, which includes native support for Windows and uses WinRM to
communicate with the box.
Vagrant 1.8.4 does need some workarounds though:
with Vagrant 1.7.4+, but the latest ersion is always recommended.

.Synopsis
Creates a new .iso file
.Description
The New-IsoFile cmdlet creates a new .iso file containing content from chosen folders
.Example
New-IsoFile "c:\tools","c:Downloads\utils"
This command creates a .iso file in $env:temp folder (default location) that contains c:\tools and c:\downloads\utils folders. The folders themselves are included at the root of the .iso image.
.Example
New-IsoFile -FromClipboard -Verbose
Before running this command, select and copy (Ctrl-C) files/folders in Explorer first.
.Example
dir c:\WinPE | New-IsoFile -Path c:\temp\WinPE.iso -BootFile "${env:ProgramFiles(x86)}\Windows Kits\10\Assessment and Deployment Kit\Deployment Tools\amd64\Oscdimg\efisys.bin" -Media DVDPLUSR -Title "WinPE"
This command creates a bootable .iso file containing the content from c:\WinPE folder, but the folder itself isn't included. Boot file etfsboot.com can be found in Windows ADK.
