Hello Jeff,
Actually to reset password you need to power-off VM first. Then after
start-up it picks up new password from VR.
If you create VM from password-enabled template then you should
get it immediately upon VM start-up.
Whether Windows have to log-in automatically or not -- depends on
windows OS settings. This issue seems does not belong to Cloudstack or KVM
hypervisor. Check your template OS.
I don't see any problems related to CS here.
Vadim.

Subject: Cloud Instance Manager only sets password after reboot on Windows 2012
R2
Hi,
We're building a Windows 2012 template on KVM. It works fine except that it
only sets the password for the VM after rebooting it once. When the machine
first starts up, there is garbled output in the Cloud Instance Manager logs.
For example "Added DHCP server: i#x"
After rebooting the machine, Cloud Instance Manager works and the password is
set.
Also on the first boot it is trying to auto-login but failing with the wrong
password, if that helps.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jeff
