Vagrant Windows Domain Plugin

A Vagrant Plugin that makes connecting and disconnecting your Windows Vagrant box to a Windows Domain a cinch.

On a vagrant up - unless credentials are supplied - it will prompt the user for their domain credentials and add the guest to the domain, including restarting the guest without interfering with other provisioners.

On a vagrant destroy, it will do the same and remove itself from the Domain, keeping things neat-n-tidy.

Installation

vagrant plugin install vagrant-windows-domain

Usage

In your Vagrantfile, add the following plugin and configure to your needs:

config.vm.provision :windows_domain do |domain|

    # The Windows Domain to join.
    #
    # Setting this will result in an additional restart.
    domain.domain = "domain.int"

    # The new Computer Name to use when joining the domain.
    #
    # Uses the Rename-Computer PowerShell command.
    # Specifies a new name for the computer in the new domain.
    domain.computer_name = "myfandangledname"

    # The Username to use when authenticating against the Domain.
    #
    # Specifies a user account that has permission to join the computers to a new domain. 
    #
    # If not supplied the plugin will prompt the user during provisioning to provide one.
    domain.username = "me"

    # The Password to use when authenticating against the Domain.
    #
    # Specifies the password of a user account that has permission to 
    # join the computers to a new domain. 
    #
    # If not supplied the plugin will prompt the user during provisioning to provide one.
    domain.password = "iprobablyshouldntusethisfield"

    # IP address of primary DNS server
    #
    # Specifies the IP address you want assigned as the primary DNS server for the primary nic.
    # If not supplied, the nic's primary dns server will be assigned dynamically.
    domain.primary_dns = "8.8.8.8"

    #IP address of the secondary DNS server
    #
    # Specifies the IP address you want assigned as the secondary DNS server for the primary nic
    # If not supplied, the nic's secondary dns server will be assigned dynamically.
    domain.secondary_dns = "8.8.4.4"

    # The set of Advanced options to pass when joining the Domain.
    #
    # See (https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh849798.aspx) for detail, these are generally not required.
    domain.join_options = [ "JoinReadOnly" ]

    # Organisational Unit path in AD.
    #
    # Specifies an organizational unit (OU) for the domain account. 
    # Enter the full distinguished name of the OU in quotation marks. 
    # The default value is the default OU for machine objects in the domain.
    domain.ou_path = "OU=testOU,DC=domain,DC=Domain,DC=com"

    # Performs an unsecure join to the specified domain.
    #
    # When this option is enabled username/password are not required and cannot be used.
    domain.unsecure = false
end

Example

There is a sample Vagrant setup used for development of this plugin. This is a great real-life example to get you on your way.

Supported Environments

Currently the plugin supports any Windows environment with Powershell 3+ installed (2008r2, 2012r2 should work nicely).

Development

Before getting started, read the Vagrant plugin development basics and packaging documentation.

You will need Ruby 2.1.5 and Bundler v1.12.5 installed before proceeding.

NOTE: it must be bundler v1.12.5 due to a hard dependency in Vagrant at this time.

git clone git@github.com:mefellows/vagrant-dsc.git
cd vagrant-dsc
bundle install

Run tests:

bundle exec rake spec

Run Vagrant in context of current vagrant-dsc plugin:

cd <directory>
bundle exec vagrant up

There is a test Vagrant DSC setup in ./development that is a good example of a simple acceptance test.

Multiple Bundlers?

If you have multiple Bundler versions, you can still use 1.12.5 with the following:

bundle _1.12.5_ <command>

e.g. bundle _1.12.5_ exec rake spec

Uninstallation

vagrant plugin uninstall vagrant-windows-domain
