RESOLVED! =) I’m happy to report Brian McGeorge found a solution, which was kindly passed on to me via Ben Stragnell. The answer is to set the environment variable LOGONSERVER to \\%COMPUTERNAME%.
This works by not executing the body of the if statement in: https://cygwin.com/git/gitweb.cgi?p=cygwin-csih.git;a=blob;f=cygwin-service-installation-helper.sh;h=10ab4fb6d47803c9ffabdde51923fc2c3f0496bb;hb=7ca191bebb52ae414bb2a2e37ef22d94f2658dc7#l2884 (lines 2884 to 2890) My working user data now looks like this (note - you need to see both links for context - different parts of the same user data file). * https://github.com/taskcluster/generic-worker/blob/b0786db002921d3ec7d40053ac2e6799679ab290/worker_types/win2012r2/userdata#L4 * https://github.com/taskcluster/generic-worker/blob/b0786db002921d3ec7d40053ac2e6799679ab290/worker_types/win2012r2/userdata#L81-L101 The addition to the powershell script was simply: $env:LOGONSERVER = "\\" + $env:COMPUTERNAME I can confirm this fix works!
