I want to create 70 VM's of the same OS in Azure. For this, I have created a VM converted to a custom image of it so that I can deploy 70 instances of this machine.



The issue here for me is if I deploy 70 instances of VM via custom images I am getting the hostname of all the VM's as same. All 70 VM's hostname is WIN2K12.



Is there any way where I can change this hostname while deploying?

  • What command are you using to create the VM? Are you using CLI?

    You can try to create the VM through Azure template and with a VM extension to change the hostname using a custom shell script.

  • How you created your custom image ? Normally, if you follow procedures, sysprep should remove network configuration from image during Generalize phase docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/windows/…, and you should have hostname equal to Azure VM name

Point of clarification.



If you create VM from a Image they will not/should not have the same Hostname. Part of process of making an Azure Custom Image is to sysprep machine which guarantees the hostname will be different when you deploy new VM using that image.



https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/windows/capture-image-resource



In Azure the only time VM will get the same host name is if you create VM from a specialized disk, meaning create VM from a copy of the same disk (not really image).



The thing you have to confirm is if your applications on the VM allows sysprep.

Run scheduled task as local user group (not BUILTIN)

0 I am trying to run a scheduled task with User Group (not a single user). This is working fine when I in the field "when running a task, use the following user account:" insert BUILTIN User Group (for example: Administrators or Users). But when I try it with the created Local User Group (example: TestGroup) it is not working. The Users in the TestGroup are the same as in the Administrators group. What could be the problem?
