cd packer-templates
packer build -force -only virtualbox-iso vbox-2012r2-wmf5.json

Note: The `packer build` command can take many hours to run. In particular, it can appear to be stuck on the message `Waiting for WinRM to become available`, and also just after the message `Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool`.

Once the _base box_ is built, import it with the following command:

vagrant box add --name windows2012r2min-wmf5-virtualbox windows2012r2min-wmf5-virtualbox.box

You should be ready to go.

Before running packer, you might want to customize the build to your preferences. For instance, the keyboard layout can be changed here: https://github.com/dbroeglin/packer-templates/blob/master/scripts/postunattend.xml#L14
