Many moons ago a wrote a little powershell that ran only on first startup which
grabbed the data and updated the windows box and rebooted it. You have to set
the security to allow it to run, the script sets it back to default...
(please don’t judge me).
$DHCP= (ipconfig /all | findstr /C:"DHCP Server").split()[-1]
$DNSSUFFDATA=Get-WmiObject -class "Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration" | Where
{$_.DNSDomain -notlike ""} | Select-Object DNSDomain
$DNSSUFF=$DNSSUFFDATA.DNSDomain
$NEWHOSTNAME = Invoke-WebRequest -URI
http://$DHCP/latest/meta-data/local-hostname -UseBasicParsing
Rename-Computer -NewName $NEWHOSTNAME -Force
netdom computername $NEWHOSTNAME /Add:$NEWHOSTNAME.$DNSSUFF
netdom computername $NEWHOSTNAME /MakePrimary:$NEWHOSTNAME.$DNSSUFF
set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy Restricted -scope CurrentUser
Restart-Computer

Subject: Re: Windows Server 2016 Templates for Cloudstack
We are using original one (cloud instance manager) sucessfully - at least on
older template (from say 8 months ago...) - not sure if versions have been
changing or not - here is what we use (version check)
https://snag.gy/prZTPB.jpg so you can try ti compare... Unless some new mega
security by MS to ban setting pass....(I guess you confirmed the service is
running, after install ?)
Though, hostname is not set indeed - it's random windows style...
