Hi Jeff, I have seen a similar issue whereby new VMs from Template (Windows 2012 & 2012 R2) do not have their passwords reset upon first time boot. I have not had any luck in getting it to work. Any advice here is highly appreciated.

Don't think it is specifically a CloudStack problem, it's more of a question about how to properly configure the Cloud Instance Manager. Basically when the machine first starts up, it tries to auto-login (despite no registry setting for that), but fails due to invalid password. The password to log in is the default password from when I created the template. Cloud Instance Manager has the garbled output I described in the first post. If I reboot the machine, it starts up and Cloud Instance Manager works fine, and thus I can log in with the CloudStack-set password.
