Hello @Mohammed.Ammar

The provided answer assumes you are using the stock images provided by Atlassian and that you are running a supported version of Bamboo. If you are running a customised version of that image or even a totally different one -- based on the C:\Users\Bamboo_agent instead of the default C:\Users\Bamboo -- you will have to adapt the instructions to your environment.

Unfortunately, we don't support customised images as every customer has their own version and that would become impossible to maintain.

Hi @Eduardo Alvarenga

Thank you for looking into it.

The script is still not working, There is something i have noticed..

In our setup we have only "bamboo-agent.cfg.xml" File present in Path: C:\Users\bamboo_agent\bamboo-agent-home\bamboo-agent.cfg.xml

But no "bamboo-agent.cfg.template.xml" File is present, Does both the files same or is it different ? or we missing any configuration ?

Thank You

Hello @Mohammed.Ammar When you mentioned customisation, I assumed you were making changes to the Image that was going to be used as a new AMI. As you are going to use the Instance Startup Script you need to add the whole path to the XML file as an argument and protect some backslashes as it will make use of GNU "sed" which is part of Cygwin. Make sure to understand the full extension of the command before adding it to the instance. This should work as an Instance Startup Script: mkdir C:\Users\bamboo_agent icacls "C:\Users\bamboo_agent" /grant Bamboo:(OI)(CI)F /T sed -i "s@$.*\$$.*$$.*$@\1C\:\ \\Users\\Bamboo_agent\3@" c:\Users\Bamboo\bamboo-agent-home\bamboo-agent.cfg.template.xml Thanks!
