Windows 10 guest not auto-detected

Vagrant 1.7.4
Mac OS X 10.10.4

Vagrant fails to auto-detect a Windows 10 guest.

ERROR warden: Error occurred: The guest operating system of the machine could not be detected!
Vagrant requires this knowledge to perform specific tasks such
as mounting shared folders and configuring networks. Please add
the ability to detect this guest operating system to Vagrant
by creating a plugin or reporting a bug.

Windows 8.1 guest is detected correctly:

To fix this you need:

• the latest version of winrm-fs as it has a fix for powershell v5. You can get it from https://github.com/WinRb/winrm-fs. They haven't yet released an updated gem.
• the following patch:
  • will remove progress stream from commands that use communicator.test as it checks the length of stderr (see https://connect.microsoft.com/PowerShell/feedback/details/927384/progress-stream-being-sent-to-stderr-in-winrm-responses)
  • will use Test-Path instead of Test

Subject: [PATCH] Don't show progress as the progress stream is written to
 error stream (only for communicate.test scenarios as stderr length is
 checked).

Experienced this same error on Windows 2012 R2 after installing WMF 5 April 2015 from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=44987

taliesins fixes in his above comment (winrm-fs latest + patch) solved my problem.

[StefanScherer]

@sethvargo I think the label host/windows is misleading, as the host is OSX, but the guest is Windows 10. I also struggle spinning up Windows 10 Vagrant boxes on my Mac and investigated the problem a little bit.

I can confirm that the problem is fixed with the Ruby gem winrm-fs 0.2.2.

My setup is:
Host OSX 10.10.4, Vagrant 1.7.4 + winrm-fs 0.2.2, spinning up and provisioning a Windows 10 guest.

This will probably fix #6055 as well.

[StefanScherer]

This worked for me as a user of Vagrant to update the winrm-fs gem to version 0.2.2:

$ vagrant --version
Vagrant 1.7.4

$ vagrant plugin install winrm-fs
Installing the 'winrm-fs' plugin. This can take a few minutes...
Installed the plugin 'winrm-fs (0.2.2)'!

Would be nice if the winrm-fs gem will be already installed in the next Vagrant release.

[legleux]

I'm having this problem too.
How do I even go about applying this patch?

[phromo]

1. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=apply+patch ... > https://docs.moodle.org/dev/How_to_apply_a_patch
2. locate plugins/provisioners/puppet/provisioner/puppet.rb on your system
3. cd that folder (where ls plugins => plugins)
4. apply the patch
5. update winrm-fs by vagrant plugin install winrm-fs

[mitchellh]

This should all be fixed in 1.8!
