Hey @garimakhulbe02 thanks for opening this PR, can you post the custom_script and user_data example to load the WinRM certificate that you mentioned in the issue, would be helpful so that I can quickly test this feature, and also add to document how to use this feature, as the new field won't work otherwise as I understand it |

@JenGoldstrich updated PR with example. please take a look. thanks. |

One thing I'm not sure of, how does the certificate get passed along to the plugin if it's used for authentication? Unless I'm mistaken this script executes early on the Windows instance, before we can connect to the instance itself, so how do we get this?
Or is the certificate only so HTTPS can be used for the connection?

I believe this is only so HTTPS can be used for the certificate, you can't create a WinRM HTTPS listener without a certificate, I do not believe the certificate is given to the user

This PR is add this attribute #357
New attribute/input skip_build_key_vault_create in packer config to skip Keyvault deployment during packer build for windows images. Packer does two ARM deployments during build. First deployment for Keyvault to save WinRM certificate and second deployment for build VM. This attribute will give an option to skip this build Keyvault deployment during build.
