Provisioning Windows Image

[Duktek]

Hello,

I want to know if someone successfully automate Windows provisioning in Proxmox VE 6.x . To setup user, password, network, etc.

I already tried Cloudbase-init with failure to setup network, but the patch is still working for configuring password and hostname.

Is there alternative software i could try to provision Windows 2016 / 2019 on Proxmox?

Thank you in advance.

I guess the error related was this:

C:\Program Files\Cloudbase Solutions\Cloudbase-Init\log\cloudbase-init.log

2021-01-15 17:57:25.346 3176 WARNING cloudbaseinit.plugins.common.networkconfig [-] Missing details for adapter 7E:1D:1B:22:7E0
2021-01-15 17:57:25.346 3176 WARNING cloudbaseinit.plugins.common.networkconfig [-] Details not used for adapter None
2021-01-15 17:57:25.346 3176 ERROR cloudbaseinit.plugins.common.networkconfig [-] No adapters were configured

And the generated network metadata inside Cloudrive image was this:

D:\OPENSTACK\CONTENT\0000

auto eth1
iface eth1 inet static
address 10.10.10.100
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 10.10.10.1
dns-nameservers 1.1.1.1

According to Cloudbase page that you mentioned, it should match by MAC address, or the interface name.
But i don't see how Cloudbase will know if the first adapter name in Windows is "Ethernet".
