      We're getting close to migrate our company lab to XOA, there is still one challenge to achieve:

      We need to have unique machine SIDs from Windows templates. Ive tried to install Windows cloud-init but it doesn't seem to apply a simple configuration with only a hostname.

      Do any of you use cloudinit to deploy Windows VMs or do you use another way to sysprep a VM created from a (custom) windows template?

      I am relatively new with Xen Orchestra but I am experienced with hypervisors as VMWare and Nutanix, trying to get the hold of XOA.

      Thanks,
      Joey

        Hi!

        I'm not a Windows expert, but there's some valuable people in the community knowing MS products. I remember some using Cloudinit to do various stuff with Windows 🙂

          @olivierlambert thanks for the quick reply Olivier,

          We have cloudinit working for Linux as that is working like a charm, hopefully a MS cloudinit god will reply and will be able to help me out 🙂
