I see a few posts for this issue, with no answers.

2016 Template on VMmware 6.7. I have a local user named "cloudbase" created and set as a local administrator with logon as a service rights.

Here's the cloudbase-init.log: 2020-07-07 23:00:30.230 2012 DEBUG cloudbaseinit.osutils.windows [-] Creating logon session for user: True\cloudbase createuserlogon_session C:\Program Files\Cloudbase Solutions\Cloudbase-Init\Python\lib\site-packages\cloudbaseinit\osutils\windows.py:649

But then, its able to set the password for the cloudbase account?

2020-07-07 23:00:32.527 2012 DEBUG cloudbaseinit.plugins.common.setuserpassword [-] Generating a random user password setpassword C:\Program Files\Cloudbase Solutions\Cloudbase-Init\Python\lib\site-packages\cloudbaseinit\plugins\common\setuserpassword.py:87 2020-07-07 23:00:32.527 2012 INFO cloudbaseinit.plugins.common.setuserpassword [-] Password succesfully updated for user cloudbase

I did login with the account before sysprep to validate the account logon.

Thanks for any input!

Hello,

This looks like a concurrency issue at the moment where cloudbase-init tries to create the logon session and the Windows OS state. For the moment, I cannot reproduce the error, but I know this definitely happens to multiple users, probably because of laggy systems, where some Windows services are not properly initialized when the call to create the logon session is made.

At this moment, what we can try is to add a retry when this error happens.

If I create a custom cloudbase-init installer with the patch, can you try it out?

Thank you.

Yes, I definitely can try it. Much appreciated!

From here (artifacts tab) you can download a built MSI with the possible fix (zipped): https://github.com/ader1990/cloudbase-init-installer-1/actions/runs/167211654 .

Did this solve the issue and/or get merged in to the main code base? I see the patched version is no longer available to download so I can't try it. I am having the same error.

The patches version is still available, but the link was masked by ask (it was adding a trailing garbage at the end of the url, fixed it).

When I go to that link it seems that the artifact is expired. I can not find a way to download it: 'CloudbaseInit x64 MSI Expired 53 MB'

As a work around, I tried changing cloudbase-init service to delayed start and that has worked to get me passed this error.
