Hi,

I've succesfully built some nice Windows templates, but depending on role I want to install and preconfigure some software on each linked clone during first run. Typically people use Vagrant and packer for this - any idea what is the simplest way to do this without polluting my proxmox install with Vagrant?

I assume one can achieve something like this with qemu-agent and executing binaries/commands (doing choco stuff). I have qemu-agent on each of the templates - it seems to be working (ping and some commands work), but I can't seem to run exec (I get no such command) - did I do something wrong or should I do some additional config?
 
Best to use some provisioning tools like ansible and alike to do this work. If you're familiar with vagrant, then use the tools they use like winrmshell.
