Hello! Using vRealize 8.1 and a slightly modified VMware cloudbase config...https://docs.vmware.com/en/V...

I'm not able to get cloudbase to kick off at all.

In the cloudbase logs, I can see multiple errors, etc.

WARNING cloudbaseinit.metadata.services.osconfigdrive.windows [-] ISO extraction failed on <partition: \\?\globalroot\device\harddisk0\partition2=""> with WindowsCloudbaseInitException("Cannot open file: 'The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.'

I can see the ISO is attached but cloudbase doesn't appear to be able to use it.

Thank you for any input!

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?

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

Thanks for any input!
