EASIEST WAY TO CREATE A VIRTUAL MACHINE USING AZURE POWERSHELL AND CONNECTING IT WITH RDP

Steps involved are:

• Log into your Azure account
• Click on cloud Shell sign
• A command line interface will pop up, click on create storage
• If the top left corner is not showing power shell, click on bash and select power shell
• Click confirm
• First create a resource group using this code: New-AzResourceGroup -Name 'Olamy' -Location 'Eastus' Name is the name chosen for your resource group.
• What's next after creating resource group is creating the virtual machine but to do that, we must first create admin credentials for the Vm using the following command: $cred = Get-Credential -Message "Enter a username and password for the virtual machine." This will ask you for username and password
• Create the virtual machine using this command:

$vmParams = @{
ResourceGroupName = 'Olamy'
Name = 'myVM'
Location = 'eastus'
ImageName = 'Win2016Datacenter'
PublicIpAddressName = 'tutorialPublicIp'
Credential = $cred
OpenPorts = 3389
Size = 'Standard_D2s_v3'
}
$newVM1 = New-AzVM @vmParams

• When the virtual machine is prepared, we may examine the $newVM1 variable or use the Azure Portal to see the outcomes using the command: $newVM1
• To get some information about the new Vm like the name of the Vm and the admin account, use this command: $newVM1.OSProfile | Select-Object -Property ComputerName, AdminUserName
• Use this command to get details about the network configuration: $newVM1 | Get-AzNetworkInterface | Select-Object -ExpandProperty IpConfigurations | Select-Object -Property Name, PrivateIpAddress
• We need to connect the Vm using remote desktop protocol(rdp) with the public ip address. Use this command to get the public ip address
• To establish a Remote Desktop connection with the virtual machine, execute the subsequent command on your local computer: mstsc.exe /v $publicIp.IpAddress
• Copy and paste the public ip address of the Vm into the computer part and press connect
• You will be asked for your credentials: username and password.
• Click okay
• Click yes
• This will load the Vm to desktop
