After installing cloudbase-init, open the configuration file at C:\Program Files\Cloudbase Solutions\Cloudbase-Init\conf\cloudbase-init.conf and add the following items to it:
| Configuration Item | Description | Note |
|---|---|---|
| metadata_services=cloudbaseinit.metadata.services.configdrive.ConfigDriveService | Set the data source of cloudbase-init to Config Drive. | Required |
| netbios_host_name_compatibility=false | By default, Windows limits the length of hostname to 15 characters. Adding this configuration item allows Windows to support a maximum of 63 characters. | Recommended |
| first_logon_behaviour=no | By default, Windows forces the user (Admin) to change the password on the first login. Adding this configuration removes this restriction. | Optional |
