We would like to have an Azure DevOps pipeline to create 2 custom images, for linux and for windows. The linux image is being created successfully, but we struggle to get the windows image to work using WinRM. We use packer 1.11.
As soon as the temp VM gets deployed and WinRM tries to connect we keep getting the following error:

Connectivity on tcp/5986 works fine, it seems related to configuration and/or authentication.
Any ideas what to check? Thank you.
