Hi,

I'm trying to get cloudbase-init to work with my Windows Server 2016 template. Set hostname does not work and when following procedures in similar questions and get issue with password. I have followed the below steps:

Create Template: https://blogs.vmware.com/management/2...

When I follow the above link the password works but not the hostname.

I have followed https://ask.cloudbase.it/question/103... and https://ask.cloudbase.it/question/331.... I have changed the unattended.xml as in https://pastebin.com/xLATygNd and removed cloudbaseinit.plugins.common.sethostname.SetHostNamePlugin from cloudbase-init-unattend.conf but nothing of this works. When I do like this I don´t get a log for cloudbase-init-unattend.log.

Can you please advise?

Thank you Adrian, it was indeed the virtual CD-ROM that was disconnected. The metadata is now pushed to the config. However I decided to use PowerShell inside cloud-config to set the hostname as it fits my needs better. Cheers! /Martin
