# Windows Restart Provisioner
Type: `windows-restart`
The Windows restart provisioner initiates a reboot on a Windows machine
and waits for the machine to come back online.
The Windows provisioning process often requires multiple reboots, and this
provisioner helps to ease that process.
## Basic Example
The example below is fully functional.
```javascript
{
"type": "windows-restart"
}
```
## Configuration Reference
The reference of available configuration options is listed below.
Optional parameters:
* `restart_command` (string) - The command to execute to initiate the
restart. By default this is `shutdown /r /c "packer restart" /t 5 && net stop winrm`.
A key action of this is to stop WinRM so that Packer can detect it
is rebooting.
* `restart_check_command` (string) - A command to execute to check if the
restart succeeded. This will be done in a loop.
* `restart_timeout` (string) - The timeout to wait for the restart.
By default this is 5 minutes. Example value: "5m"
