Personal dev boxstarter scripts
######## Phil's dev VM boxstarter script ########
###############
#### notes ####
###############
### running remotely on VM fails on Configuring CredSSP settings
## check http://blogs.technet.com/b/heyscriptingguy/archive/2012/12/30/understanding-powershell-remote-management.aspx
### running locally on VM
## if connected, it will show login screen after restart, but is still working
### other notes
## Boxstarter repeats the _entire_ script after restart. For already-installed packages, Chocolatey will take a couple seconds each to verify. This can get tedious, so consider putting packages that require a reboot near the beginning of the script.
## Boxstarter automatically disables windows update so you don't need to do that at the beginning of the script.
### last run
## completed successfully except for GFW
## required 5 reboots
## took 3.25 hours
## still need to "Update and Restart" afterwards - and to ensure UAC is enabled
