Password options for horizon

Hi folks,

Thanks for all your work on bringing cloudbase-init to Windows. We are starting to use it with OpenStack to deploy isolated short-lived VMware test machines for a support community. I have a few password account/related questions to add to what's already been covered here.

Q: Is it possible to deliver admin pass through horizon via configdrive and then post to metadata with httpservice? Currently we can't get it to post but it does get applied to the VM. Looks like httpservice is ignored once configdrive is discovered.

Q: Is it possible to deliver admin pass through horizon via httpservice? Currently we can only get a random password with this method. Booting via cmd line with '--meta admin_pass=' works but our users will be using horizon. Maybe a post-creation option could work too?

Q: How difficult would it be to keep the Administrator account from being disabled after sysprep?

thank you!
