Process that creates/updates image stops sshd from starting

I'm experiencing an issue where updating/creating a new image sets sshd in
the new image to start manually, ie. not start, versus automatic in Windows
7.

Any thoughts on where to start looking?

Thanks,
Curtis.

Hi

FYI, I found what was causing the problem:

Few folders under /usr/local/vcl/tools/Windows are empty and when I setup local GIT for VCL it didn't copy those empty folders, excluding "Logs" sub-folder. The content of /usr/local/vcl/tools/Windows/ folder is copied over to computer when image is captured. Capture failed b/c "Logs" folder wasn't there.
Everything is back to normal after I created /usr/local/vcl/tools/Windows/Logs. There is no need to change Windows.pm code.

Thanks.

Thanks for pointing this out.

Is there a jira issue on this one? If a fix isn't already in trunk, we
definitely want to get it in for the next release.

OK good to know. I just commented out the code that sets sshd to manual,
your fix is better. :)

Re: Process that creates/updates image stops sshd from starting

Hi Curtis

I just experienced that same issue - after Win7 image was updated, it couldn't be loaded during reservation. SSH task never started during reservation request. 

Image capture sequence sets SSH task to start manually. 
The SSH task then started (and set to Auto) by post_load.cmd script, which runs after image is loaded. 
In my case the script failed to start - root's autologin sequence goes OK and nothing happens after that (I see root's desktop when connecting via virt-manager).

The script starts from registry key HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\post_load.cmd as  C:\Cygwin\home\root\VCL\Scripts\post_load.cmd  >> C:\Cygwin\home\root\VCL\Logs\post_load.log.
The capture sequence create the entry, and entry is deleted by post_load.cmd script when it runs, so you won't see it if reservation is successful. 

For some reason Logs folder under C:\Cygwin\home\root\VCL\ was missing and post_load.cmd failed to start.
I've updated the code in Windows.pm to create the Logs folder during the capture and it seems to be working OK now.
