Hi Simon We are also building some new windows templates and would like to use cloudbase-init as you do. I get the same behavior as you did describe (after password reset it requires to setup a new password). How did you workaround this? I expect this to be a policy issue but would like to ask before I search to long as you had the same issue.

The password shows up in the passwords file on the vpr, but isn’t replaced by password=saved, it simply disappears when retrieved. Regards Simon Völker Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft e.V.

Does rebooting the VM actually sets the new pass (from ACS), that was generated previously? You can actually check inside the VR /var/cache/cloud/password-<IP-ADDRESS-HERE> file - this file will contain the actual pass if it has NOT been fetched by the VM - or if it says "password=saved" - this means it was already fetched by the VM.
