Thanks for the kind words :) I think it’ll do just fine for that, the size of it did actually surprise me a bit as I was expecting it to be smaller.

Thank you 👍

You would do that via script then, like I do with powershell in the video 👍

Thanks for the feedback! Future videos will be in 4K, though upscaled in the beginning

My pleasure!

Thank you! Really glad to hear that ❤️

The consumption billing should follow the projects. So if you place the projects in separate subscriptions you can split the cost in that way

@@PetterTech Subscription could be same as architecture prefers same VNet and different subnets. However, Resource group could help. Thank you for your response.

Using a public ip prefix with the NAT gateway is more for scaling up the number of outbound connections that can exist. The NAT gateway really isn't made for doing one to one NAT stuff, for that you would need a more advanced service like Azure Firewall or a load balancer.

You are welcome! Hope it helped :)

Interesting scenario, is it enough to have all resources in the same subscription or is there also a requirement to be accessing things through private networks? Because it could be as simple as deploying a storage account and placing the scripts there with public access enabled. But if it should also be accessed through private networks then you would need a private endpoint for the storage account that is accessible from the vnet used to build the image

Depends a bit on the scale I guess. If you have 1 legacy app that is all the reason you have to keep AD, then you could consider AADDS. If you have 10's or 100's of apps and other bits as well, then maybe just keep AD :)

What kind of errors are you seeing? Are you using a gallery to store images in or are you using managed images? I had to test it now to verify, but I am able to create an image through custom image templates and deploy session hosts with it that has trusted launch 🤷‍♂️

@@PetterTech I have "Your VM selected is configured with unsupported trusted launch or confidential VM" event if my gallery image is in trusted launch. Microsoft said that it has to be standard.

That's odd, if that were the case then I shouldn't have been able to do it. But it might be one of those cases where it's not supported, but in some cases work. Where in the process are you getting that error?

You're touching in on a fairly annoying limitation in Entra Domain Services here, you cannot move it to a new subscription. GPOs can be migrated over to the domain, but you'll need to do a backup before deleting your Entra Domain Services. It's a fairly lengthy process, take a look here: learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/desktop/gpmc/copying-and-importing-gpos-across-domains Users and computers would be best to not migrate over to be honest

If you're talking about a single vm where multiple users will log on and you want them all to have access to a local drive, then no. A scenario where it might be useful is if you utilize Azure Files to store the scanned folder instead. In that case you would use Private Endpoint in conjunction with Azure Files.

ikr!? 😅

Have you tried using the "normal" url for your cosmos instance instead of the one for privatelink? It should do the redirect and not fail on ssl

@@PetterTech I even made local record in /etc/hosts how host mentioned in connection string and point it to Private Endpoint IPs. Only one conclusion - Cosmos Mongo can not work via Private Endpoint

You can still go with the old style of creating images, in that case you wouldn't need custom image templates though :) The whole point of custom image templates is to have all customization done by code, so instead of logging on the vm to install software and customize it you would add some scripts to do the same thing 👍

You deploy new ones based on the new image, place the old ones in drain mode and as soon as the old ones are empty you decommission them :)

It could be used for that purpose, but not alone. If you are a cloud-only organization and need local printing I would instead look at a cloud printing solution. Microsoft has their Universal Print and you also have other providers, like Printix.

I'll take that as a compliment :) But as I don't have my own business that would not be possible I'm afraid.

I believe you are correct my man. Don't think I even noticed the multitude of disks back when I recorded this

You're welcome! Thanks for watching 👍

If I understand your scenario correctly then you could use the image you captured from the test session host as a basis for your next images when creating them by using the Custom Image Templates. So if you could apply the updates through code you could potentially save some time in this process, since it would save you the steps of deploying a new vm, applying updates and then sysprep'ing and capturing it as a new image. Regarding the option to store images in one central tenant, I do not now of a native way to this unfortunately.

You delete the Bastion resource and you're done :)

@@PetterTech yeah I just discovered that. LOL

I have actually never found a good, practical use case for it. Not that there isn’t any, it’s just that I personally haven’t come across scenarios where I’d use it. So I don’t really have any observations on it yet

@@PetterTech Thanks for the replay. I've been playing around with all versions of the loop for copying files, and I've tried several different approaches, jobs and what not and the simple foreach () {} seems to be the fastest solution, in my case at least

Glad to be of service 👍

Thank you! Glad you liked it:)

My pleasure! Glad you liked it :)

Glad to hear that!

Sadly, I haven’t gotten around to learning Python so I can’t really help you there

You have a couple of different options here, if you’re referring to using custom images I have two other videos that might help: Custom Image Templates: czcams.com/video/o3A9J7CbCyA/video.html Custom Images In Azure Virtual Desktop | How to create and deploy: czcams.com/video/oIJ9BbjtPI0/video.html

Unfortunately no, the images you create is not something you can use outside of deploying new hosts

My pleasure 👌

Glad it was helpful!

I think that as long as there is a need for hybrid or multi-cloud a service like Arc will have its place. And that is the foreseeable future. While I can’t make any promises on behalf of Microsoft, I can say that with the amount of investment they are putting in Arc and the adoption they are seeing it’s highly unlikely that Arc is going away in the next years

@@PetterTech That is the problem with MS they just rollout out so many half baked junk cloud services.....they you use them....then magically you need to migrate what a bunch of scum bags....

@@PetterTech That is the problem with MS they just rollout out so many half baked junk cloud services.....they you use them....then magically you need to migrate......just terrible....

I think that's pretty much the nature of the cloud. Things change so rapidly. But as far as the deprecation of Azure services goes, even though they do get deprecated from time to time you do usually get close to a 3-year heads up before support ends for a service. They can get better at communicating those notifications, but things are improving

@@PetterTech All this change....does it really add value.....or just head ache for the consumer of some junk cloud service...and just added cost.....I would rather they just offer a more mature product...than some junk POS WIP.....as a product....its shameful sometimes....as providers have little to NO consideration for customers...shameful.....

I aim to please ;) Also, make sure to consider Custom Image Templates if you're making custom images for AVD. I posted a video on it last week: czcams.com/video/o3A9J7CbCyA/video.html

@@PetterTech Well that is twice now you have saved me a ton of time. It's nice for one of our use cases to know how to do this style of image capture, but it is also VERY nice to know the other way in the video you linked. Thanks again!

Godt å høre at innholdet mitt kan hjelpe! Masse lykke til på fagprøven 👍

Thanks man! Really appreciate it!

Certainly! Depends on how the ip adresses you want to loop through are stored, but if you wanted to do a simple ping sweep you could do something like this: 10.13.37.1..255 | foreach {ping 10.13.37.$_ -c 2}
