Trying to create a vanilla Windows Server 2016 and a set of credentials with it but can't find a working sample on the internet. I understand I should be poking around the metadata parameters.

Tried a workaround using gcloud but doesn't work very well because once the credentials are created Terraform will try to destroy the machine as it doesn't match the tfstate.

Any details? What's exactly doesn't match?

What type of credentials you are trying to create/use - are these GCP credentials for terraform to use, credentials you want to set using terraform?

The local admin credentials on the VM that you can use to RDP/WinRM.
