Hi,

I have an problem and firstly i wanna tell something about my test environment that includes Cloudstack 4.8.

I try to prepare some template, such as Windows Server 2008/R2, 2012/R2, Windows 8.1/10. I am successfull to create Windows Server templates with any problems (2008/R2, 2012/R2) but I could not success with Windows 8.1 and Windows 10. As default Windwos 8.1 and 10 Administrator Account disabled. I fixed it like this lines to add my unattend.conf file.

After adding these lines, Administrator Account was enabled. However, when I created new VM from the template Admnistrator Account was enabled and it has taken the password succesfully which was generated by cloudstack. But after first restart the VM , the password which was generated when I created VM, did not accept password. If I poweroff the VM and reset password, it works and after that password never expires.

Can anyone help about this situation? Do you have any experience about this situation?

Thanks.
