Windows updates with multiple restarts

[majkinetor]

Currently posher uses Get-WUInstall 3thd party script to handle updates. This is not optimal as to fully install updates you need multiple restarts.

Packer Windows implements this cycle via win_updates.ps1 script that does multiple restarts but it calls it prior to provisioning which is problematic as during provisioning additional windows features can be (and currently are) installed that require new updates.

Asked here about it and got nice input from tyrken about Packer plugin that implements windows provisioning that has restart feature and doesn't use ssh but winrm.
