connection {
  type = "winrm"
  user = "testadmin"

}

I have opened all the ports

direction                  = "Inbound"
access                     = "Allow"
protocol                   = "Tcp"
source_port_range          = "*"
destination_port_range     = "*"
source_address_prefix      = "*"
destination_address_prefix = "*"

Connection timeout during running a PS Script, Mentioned is code snippet

Solution

  • One of the workaround to resolve the above issue;

    You can use the below format in your example.tf file by provisioning the file name and provide the timeout value to it .

    connection {
    host     = azurerm_public_ip.win_pubip.fqdn
    type     = "winrm"
    port     = 5985
    https    = false
    timeout  = "2m"
    user     = var.username
    password = var.password
  }

  provisioner "file" {
    source      = "files/yourfile.ps1"
    destination = "c:/terraform/yourfile.ps1"
  }

  provisioner "remote-exec" {
    inline = [
      "PowerShell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass c:\\terraform\\yourfile.ps1",
    ]
