Hi,
AWS decided to ditch the EC2Config service on Windows it seems in favour of the SSM Agent: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/run-windows-server-2016-on-amazon-ec2/
Now I'm struggling to understand how I would now build new Windows Server AMIs and set a flag to reset the Windows Administrator password and have that reported back to AWS.
I used to use configure the file "C:\\Program Files\\Amazon\\Ec2ConfigService\\Settings\\Config.xml" for this and some other settings, but this is now obviously gone.
Does anybody already know how to now do this?
Cheers
David
