I would like to have cloudbase init install silently and use the local system account to run the service. By default it wants to create the user cloud-init. I can do this through the GUI installation but we have automation in place to create our templates automatically. I searched many times for a solution but I was not able to find one.

Hello,

You can perform it using the flag RUNSERVICEASLOCALSYSTEM=1.

Full example:
msiexec /i $CloudbaseInitMsiPath /qn RUNSERVICEASLOCALSYSTEM=1

More examples can be found here: https://github.com/cloudbase/windows-... .

Thank you,
Adrian
