Title:
  xenserver windows instance customize failed by cloudbase-init

Status in OpenStack Compute (nova):
  Expired

Bug description:
  I am running OpenStack Mitaka on CentOS7.1 with Citrix XenServer 6.5
  Standard Edition. My XenServer host has been installed following
  software updates: XS65ESP1,XS65ESP1013 and XS65ESP1021. I Use Cloud-
  init to customize OpenStack instances by enabling force_config_drive
  configuration item. For CentOS and Ubuntu OS., Cloud-init works well,
  which can customize hostname, password and network address properly,
  but for windows OS.,Cloudbase-init works badly.

  I generate Windows Server 2012 R2 image according to this blog (url: https://www.citrix.com/blogs/2016/09/08/generating-images-for-xenserver-in-openstack/). Cloudbase-init version 0.9.9. Instance name in OpenStack is aaa2 and it's name in XenServer is aaa2-1.
   
  Taking a look on XenCenter connected to my XenServer, seems like config-2 vfat disk is
  working fine, this is a print screen:
  |----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  |Position  Name         Description  SR                   Size   Read Only     Priority    Active  Device Path
  |0       aaa2-1        root       Local storage on xenserver   40G    No         0(Lowest)    Yes    /dev/xvda
  |3       config-2      configdrive  Local storage on xenserver   64M    Yes        0(Lowest)    Yes    /dev/xvdd          
  |----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  But, I need reset administrator's password when login this instance(
  Windows prompts the user's password must be changed before signing
  in). After reseting password and logon, I find hostname and network
  address have not been customized according to the instance metadata.
  In Disk Management of Server Manager, vfat disk has not been listed.

  Cloudbase-init log file contains this:

  I checked the cloudbase-init configuration item carefully and found no errors. I have read several posts, they all don't mention above problem.

  Thanks in advance for your help.
