Windows 10: Azure VM User Access Rights

Hello,I spun up an Azure VM and connected it to my Intune via my global admin Entra ID credentials in the "access work or school" section of the settings. After doing so, I went into Intune, made a new configuration policy, and under user rights added a few users under "allow local login". I added the VM to a group and assigned the configuration to the group. When I look at the device, Intune reports that it was successfully applied. When I try to login with a standard user that is on the user rights list, I get a "The connection was denied because the user account is not authorized for remot

Migrating On Prem VM to Azure

Hi Experts, We have a requirement of moving out VMs as is in Azure from Current On-Prem and the process we are following is

1. Create a RAW image from an on-prem VM.
   
2. Convert the RAW image to VHD.
   
3. Move the VHD file to Azure Storage.
   
4. Convert the Disks to managed disks.
   
5. Mount the OS disk to the C drive and other disks respectively.
   

Issue - Once we mount the OS disk we are not able to RDP to the machine we have followed the steps suggested in the below links and as usual there are millions of documents and none point in the right direction unfrotunately.

Links followed to figure out options to get this done -

Prepare a Windows VHD to upload to Azure - Azure Virtual Machines | Microsoft Docs - Microsoft documentation.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/windows/create-vm-specialized-portal - Microsoft documentation.

https://regroove.ca/stellark/2021/02/24/upload-a-vhd-to-azure-and-create-a-virtual-machine/ - Some helpful people created this and

We have tried options

1. Created image from managed disk and tried to initiate the VM and got exception as below
   Provisioning failed.
   OS Provisioning for VM 'demo-1' did not finish in the allotted time. However, the VM guest agent was detected running. This suggests the guest OS has not been properly prepared to be used as a VM image (with CreateOption=FromImage). To resolve this issue, either use the VHD as is with CreateOption=Attach or prepare it properly for use as an image:
   * Instructions for Windows: https://azure.microsoft.com/documentation/articles/virtual-machines-windows-upload-image/
   * Instructions for Linux: https://azure.microsoft.com/documentation/articles/virtual-machines-linux-capture-image/.
   
   
   and the suggested solution 1 to use CreateOption=Attach creates the VM but does not allow us to RDP to the machine so we are assuming it's not booting up. The other option suggested in the hyperlink is to create image using SysPrep which is not an option for us as we are performing a lift and shift.
   

I would like to get some guidance from experts on to the right process to follow.

 

Can I install Garuda Linux in an Azure VM ?

Hi everyone,

I want to use Garuda Linux on my Azure VM by either using an ORACLE VIRTUALBOX or ANY OTHER suitable way.

But for that I need Hyper-V which is not available in any Azure VMs. I know nested virtualization exists, but I tried various VM sizes, Ds2_v3, e-series and almost everyone, none of them have it.

And I have read this documentation - Run Hyper-V in a Virtual Machine with Nested Virtualization | Microsoft Learn

in one of the steps, it says While the virtual machine is in the OFF state, run the following command on the physical Hyper-V host. Here, what is this physical hyper-v host? My laptop? or the Azure Data Centre ?

I couldn't figure out.

So can you please let me know the complete configuration of Azure VM -

• Which VM size to use
  
• Any additional settings during VM creation
  
• Region to choose
  
• Settings to do in the VM itself
  

so that I can use Oracle Virtualbox to install Garuda Linux.

If nested virtualization is not possible, suggest any alternative way to install Garuda linux on the VM.

 

Azure VM export

Hi All

i have two tenants in Azure, There is no connectivity from Tenant 1 to Tenant 2. i have VM provisioned in Azure Tenant1. The VM is joined to the domain. I want to export this VM from Tenant1 and import it in Tenant2.The user in Tenant 2 should be able to login using local admin rights. i have shutdown the VM( i dont want to run sysprep, since the purpose is for security testing this vm in tenant2, if i run sysprep will it break any group policies or software guids) if i export the disk and copy to storage account using AZCopy . Then i will export the vhd file and import it in Tenant 2 storage account and create a vm from the vhd file. will this work for me,

Thanks!
