If you have set Administrator as the default username, its password will be randomly generated by cloudbase-init or taken from the metadata service.

The problem here is that the password is never taken from the metadata. This is why after 2min cloudbaseinit reset it for the user Administrator, but this is not what we want to.

Thank you for the delay explanation; we are using http metadata, my powershell script is executing well but after it ends, cloudbaseinit reset the admin password. I would like to make my inject password through metadata working, can you help ?

Here are 3 examples of the configurations I tried ;) ; each times I get the admin password reset at the end of the cloudinit exec, I would like to ensure metadata password injection is working and activating rdp too for example.

If you could help or share your working examples it would be really appreciated. Also I would like to set network differently than this: (by uising cloudbase init network module, can you show me how ? ) :
