What about ssh only ?

[clement-igonet]

Do you mean ssh service is available in modern.ie VM by default ?
If so, why not rely only on it. I mean, without winrm ?

Yes, it is possible to use only SSH for Windows 7 box. Here is my version of ie-box-automation-plugin.rb: https://gist.github.com/xuhcc/17cd857891b1e46573894d849f399a2b

With this plugin you can run shell-like script using the following directive in Vagrantfile:

config.vm.provision "winssh", type: "ie_box_automation", script: "vagrant/windows_install.sh"

Example of script:

echo "Disabling Auto Update..."
reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\Auto Update" /v AUOptions /t REG_DWORD /d 00000001 /f

echo "Disabling Windows Defender..."
sc config WinDefend start= disabled
sc stop WinDefend

echo "Disabling Firewall..."
netsh advfirewall set allprofiles state off

echo "Installing Chocolatey..."
powershell -NoProfile -InputFormat None -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))"

echo "Installing DirectX..."
PATH="$PATH;$ALLUSERSPROFILE\chocolatey\bin" choco install -y directx
