Re: Creating Windows Server 2019 templates with cloudbase init

2020-01-15 Thread Ismaili, Liridon (SWISS TXT) 
Hi,

@Simon: correct - was a timing issue. I could speed it up by telling 
cloudbase-init to only use the CloudStack metadata. Otherwise it will try a lot 
of other possible cloud providers (like openstack, aws, etc).
You can do that with the following setting, which needs to be set inside the 
cloudbase-init.conf file:
metadata_services=cloudbaseinit.metadata.services.cloudstack.CloudStack

With this setting it does set the new password right after the startup and you 
don't need to wait or reboot the VM anymore.

Regards
Liridon

Hi,


Thanks! That’s very helpful.


For resetting the password I had a timing issue, I think. Did you try a reset 
of the password and reboot the VM twice? I believe that worked for me during 
testing.

So this one was indeed a cloudbase-init "feature". I did test that and it works

What I get now is, that cloudbase-init allows me to set the password only once 
- so I can't reset it after the first launch of the instance. I did create an 
issue for this one but I believe that this was by design.

It's quite possible. I try to do the minimum where Windows is concerned,

Hi Simon,
I assume that the cloudbased-init runs BEFORE the user has to set pass 
via

Windows, thus overwriting the pass that ACS has previously set?
Does rebooting the VM actually sets the new pass (from ACS), that was
generated previously? You can actually check inside the VR
/var/cache/cloud/password- file - this file will 
contain

the actual pass if it has NOT been fetched by the VM - or if it says
"password=saved" - this means it was already fetched by the VM.

Re: Creating Windows Server 2019 templates with cloudbase init

2020-01-14 Thread Ismaili, Liridon (SWISS TXT) 
Hi

Thanks for the fast response.
@Lucian: It did work right after installation for me (did setup hostname etc. 
correctly) only this PW stuff is causing issues.
@Simon: I also believe that it's caused by MS Windows. I'll check the policies 
and ask the Cloudbase-init community. If I find something I will post it here.

The template itself is build by packer (and the module from jetbrains-infra 
called packer-builder-vsphere).

Hi,


I believe that having to set a new password after it has been reset is supposed 
to be a feature from Microsoft’s side. I’ve also noticed that login through RDP 
is disabled until a new password has been set. So far I haven’t been able to

Hi,

I believe that having to set a new password after it has been reset is supposed 
to be a feature from Microsoft’s side. I’ve also noticed that login through RDP 
is disabled until a new password has been set. So far I haven’t been able to 
get it to work completely. (mainly due to time constraints)

Hi,

This could be a bug (or undocumented feature, ahem) with cloudbase-init.
Despite efforts I never got it to work reliably in the past, not sure about now.
Have you tried using CloudInstanceManager.msi for setting the password? It 
still works for me.

What I do is set up the template with a sysprep and unattend.xml where I also 
set a default password (perhaps this is what stops it from asking for new user 
pass), then on first boots CloudInstanceManager sets up the password without 
problems and resets work, too. SG zone btw.

version, instead of setting the password that cloudstack provides, the user
has to set a password on first startup. Does someone have experience with
Cloudbase-init and Windows Server 2019 or has faced the same issue?

Hi Simon,

I assume that the cloudbased-init runs BEFORE the user has to set pass via
Windows, thus overwriting the pass that ACS has previously set?
Does rebooting the VM actually sets the new pass (from ACS), that was
generated previously? You can actually check inside the VR
/var/cache/cloud/password- file - this file will contain
the actual pass if it has NOT been fetched by the VM - or if it says
"password=saved" - this means it was already fetched by the VM.
