Hello,

In order to quickly create an ISO on Windows, mkisofs is good enough, it is currently being used by the nova Hyper-V Driver when creating configdrives for the newly created instances.

As far as the userdata scripts go, on Windows guests, you will need to have cloudbase-init (which is the cloud-init of the Windows world). The current heat templates use #ps1_sysnative on the first line, and they work fine. If you encountered an issue with this, can you provide a little more information regarding your environment? (what OpenStack release, what hypervisors, what templates, etc.)
