Cloud-Init Windows

This is a Cloud-Init Agent for Windows. It's used to deploy VServer at Realtoxmedia. It currently sets the following settings in Windows:

• Hostname
• IP Addresses
• Password

As windows needs the password in Cleartext, it cannot be set directly from the Cloud-Init configuration. We implemented a special IP, which compares the hashed password ( which is provided via Cloud-Init ), with the unencrypted password, saved in WHMCS. The Password can be found here

Installation

There is a script called install.ps1. Copy this script to the VM and execute it using powershell. It will download the latest version and register the service. After installing place the config.json in the C:\Cloud-Init folder. Now the image is prepared and you can reset it to the OOBE mode with the unattend.xml file and the following command: C:\Windows\system32\sysprep\sysprep.exe /generalize /oobe /shutdown /unattend:"C:\Cloud-Init\unattend.xml"
