Is there a way to keep the userdata script on the Windows server after execution

Hello, I am trying to troubleshoot an issue with the cloudbase-init script on Windows Server 2019. I read some posts and it appears that the script is written to the temp directory and then deleted after execution.

I would like to examine the script that is being executed. I can do this on the Linux cloud-init. Not sure if this can be done in cloudbase-init.

Thanks

Hello,

The userdata script has a metadata source, you can interogate the metadata source directly to see the script, if possible. Usually, the metadata source is always present (not for Azure though, as the config drive gets disconnected for security reasons). What is the metadata source / cloud environment used in your case?

Thank you.

Hello, My environment is Openstack. We would like to be able to see the meta-data as the machine had received it. This would help in troubleshooting. Thanks
