I'm creating a base image using Windows Server 2016. The image is fully patched and has all the normal configuration applied, but when I test it, it fails to connect as the vagrant user, with a message that, from Google searches, implies it is trying to use SSH, although WinRM is listed in the dialog.
I've put my build documentation in github for reference.
