I’m having an issue with Cloubase-Init and a Windows 2019 server. I’m following this blog post, but I’m unable to get Cloudbase to execute. Here is my cloudbase-init.conf file:

[DEFAULT]

username=Administrator

groups=Administrators

injectuserpassword=true

configdriverawhhd=true

configdrivecdrom=true

bsdtarpath=C:Program FilesCloudbase SolutionsCloudbase-Initbinbsdtar.exe

debug=true

mtuusedhcpconfig=true

localscriptspath=C:Program FilesCloudbase SolutionsCloudbase-InitLocalScripts

metadataservices=cloudbaseinit.metadata.services.ovfservice.OvfService,cloudbaseinit.metadata.services.base.EmptyMetadataService

plugins=cloudbaseinit.plugins.windows.createuser.CreateUserPlugin,cloudbaseinit.plugins.windows.setuserpassword.SetUserPasswordPlugin,cloudbaseinit.plugins.common.userdata.UserDataPlugin

allowreboot=false

stopserviceonexit=false

The UserData I am trying to execute is very basic:

cloudConfig: |

#cloud-config

write_files:

content: testing cloudbase-init

path: c:test.txt

set_hostname: hostname123

When the system reboots, it goes through the Sysprep process successfully. The UserData does not execute, and I do not see any mention of it even trying in the logs.
