Password management on Windows templates
Hey all,
I am trying to set password management into a Windows VM without success. I
am using the application that is referred here:
http://docs.cloudstack.apache.org/projects/cloudstack-administration/en/4.5/templates.html#windows-os-installation
How does that program work? How can I configure that program? How does it
know which user it has to change the password?
I had already set up the Linux password management; there I could select
which users it is going to change the password.
Is there any other program that I could use to manage password on my
Windows templates?

Now everything is working fine.
I had removed the user “Administrator”. I just needed to create and enable
that user.
Thanks.

It will affect local "Administrator" account.

Thanks for your answers.
If we cannot select a user, which users is it going to change password for?
I mean, the password program is running as a service when the VM starts, therefore, there is no users logged in right?

Thanks for your answers.
If we cannot select a user, which users is it going to change password for?
I mean, the password program is running as a service when the VM starts,
therefore, there is no users logged in right?

Rafael,
Windows password manager is far from being perfect. As I know -- you can't select user for password reset in windows and I don't know any other program that you can use instead.
For password reset to work on Windows you probably need to reboot VM. Try to search cloudstack user mails for subject "Cloud Instance Manager only sets password after reboot on Windows 2012 R2".
Regards,
Vadim.
