HD's profile - activity

I have got it working but not sure if its the right change. Check http://paste.openstack.org/show/408335/

I deleted the original machine. I created a new one with name hdtest1. Here is the meta_data.json {"random_seed": "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", "uuid": "37c78fa7-033a-4244-8edc-6984c40516a7", "availability_zone": "Production", "hostname": "hdtest1", "launch_index": 0, "name": "hdtest1"}

The URL you gave is not present on my setup. However, I can see the hostname correctly passed via this URL

Hostname is set via the Metadata. I don't think Init Script has anything to do with it. I get the same results even when I don;t pass any inti script

You can try to switch off IE Security http://blog.blksthl.com/2012/11/28/ho...

If that doesn't work ....

Can you Ping to anything apart from bing.com?

Open command prompt and run ping 8.8.8.8

Does this get correct reply? or does it timeout ?

Can you try installing Firefox and browsing using Firefox? Does that work?

Thanks a ton! It all works as it is meant to be :)

try to run "$ENV:SystemRoot\System32\Sysprep\Sysprep.exe" /generalize/oobe /shutdown again, that should work and get your environment working as expected. So u want me to pass the /unattend:filepath param to sysprep?

There is nothing in the user_data script. The answerfile is the autounattend.xml that is passed to sysprep before the final shutdown of the vm which will be used as an image to create instances

Some snippet

CloudBase init is installed using

$serialPortName = @(Get-WmiObject Win32_SerialPort)[0].DeviceId

$p = Start-Process -Wait -PassThru -FilePath msiexec -ArgumentList "/i PATHTOMSI /qn /l*v PATHTOMSILOG LOGGINGSERIALPORTNAME=$serialPortName"

Next, I run C:\Program Files (x86)\Cloudbase Solutions\Cloudbase-Init\bin\SetSetupComplete.cmd

Then I run sysprep & "$ENV:SystemRoot\System32\Sysprep\Sysprep.exe" /generalize/oobe /shutdown/unattend:"$LocalUnattendFile"

I am not able to attach the $LocalUnattendFile

Its a standard autounattend.xml with oobe and specialize pass <unattend xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:unattend"> <settings pass="generalize"> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-PnpSysprep" processorarchitecture="amd64" publickeytoken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionscope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <persistalldeviceinstalls>true</persistalldeviceinstalls> </component> </settings> <settings pass="oobeSystem"> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup" processorarchitecture="amd64" publickeytoken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionscope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State"> <oobe> <hideeulapage>true</hideeulapage> <networklocation>Work</networklocation> <protectyourpc>1</protectyourpc> <skipmachineoobe>true</skipmachineoobe> <skipuseroobe>true</skipuseroobe> </oobe> <useraccounts> <administratorpassword> <value>Pa55word$</value> <plaintext>true</plaintext> </administratorpassword> </useraccounts> <autologon> <password> <value>Pa55word$</value> <plaintext>true</plaintext> </password> <enabled>true</enabled> <logoncount>1</logoncount> <username>Administrator</username> </autologon> </component> </settings> <settings pass="specialize"> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Deployment" processorarchitecture="amd64" publickeytoken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionscope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <runsynchronous> <runsynchronouscommand wcm:action="add"> <order>1</order> <path>powershell -NoLogo -Command "Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -force"</path> <description>Set-ExecutionPolicy to unrestricted</description> </runsynchronouscommand> <runsynchronouscommand wcm:action="add"> <order>2</order> <path>"C:\Program Files (x86)\Cloudbase Solutions\Cloudbase-Init\Python27\Scripts\cloudbase-init.exe" --config-file "C:\Program Files (x86)\Cloudbase Solutions\Cloudbase-Init\conf\cloudbase-init-unattend.conf"</path> <description>Run Cloudbase-Init to set the hostname</description> <willreboot>Always</willreboot> </runsynchronouscommand> </runsynchronous> </component> </settings> </unattend>

After syspreping, I copy the image to openstack and then try to create an instance. The oobe pass should set the administrator password. All this works with Cloud base init build of 15 Sep 2014. With the latest cloud-base msi, the machine boots up coreectly, but the Administrator doesn't get autologged on. Also, I see a message on colsole saying Administrator must change password. Once I change the password, everything works.

The gotcha is I want Administrator account to autologon.

Hello,

With the latest build of cloudbase-init. i am gettting a prompt saying

Password must be changed at first logon

after the first boot. I have provided the AdministratorPassword in Answerfile. This problem doesn't occur for cloudbase-init build dated 15th Sep 2014. I moved to the latest build to get a fix for Administrator accounts issue on Spanish Windows OS. However the latest build has created this issue of Administrator not able to Autologon inspite of me using the same answerfile as before
