Debug Output
NA

Panic Output
NA

Expected Behavior
The powershell script must be executed as part of the user data on the windows server 2022 and get the tenable agent installed on top of the oci instance.

Actual Behavior

1. The User data script is not executed as expected, hence the tenable agent is not downloaded and installed.
2. The same user data installation works fine in the oci instance from the console when it is done manually.

Steps to Reproduce

1. terraform apply

Thank you for reporting the issue. We observed the affected resources are not provided in the description or it's incorrect. We request you to add it in issue description as mentioned in below format.
Example: affected_resources = oci_core_instance , oci_core_instances

If it's not related to any particular resource then mention affected resource as terraform.
Example: affected_resources = terraform

As this works through automation, request you to follow exact syntax.
