Windows VM User (post-install)

[Mecanik]

Hi guys,

Do you have any idea how to create windows users via post install script? I saw many big hosting companies do this, they create admin/non-admin user with random password.

Thanks

You should be able to do this in a variety of ways, it is just a matter of being able to invoke CLI commands on your machine.

Any of these might be an option, depending on your use-case:

• Setup SSH on your Windows installation
• Install the QEMU Guest Agent on your Windows machine. Here is a good example of how to invoke commands from outside your VM.
• Depending on what you are trying to achieve it might be worthwhile to look into configuring your machine(s) with cloud init.
