@Andrew it was related to a switch configuration mistake, thanks anyways.

@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

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

@Andrew it was related to a switch configuration mistake, thanks anyways.

We've setup mutliple tagged VLAN interfaces on our Xen Orchestra pool. Assigning a network interface to a Windows VM resulting in an apipa address.

Rolling out a Linux VM with a tagged network interface does give a proper IP address. The issue seems to be isolated to Windows.

Windows Apipa

Linux

Does anyone have a clue how this is happening?
