Generalising Windows machine before creating an image
- Create Windows VM
- Provision/baseline your VM by RDPing and installing software
- Generalise your system using sysprep to create System Out-of-Box Experience (OOBE)
- Win+R, type sysprep, it will take you to C:\Windows\System32\Sysprep and run sysprep.exe
- System Cleanup Action: Enter System Out-of-Box Experience (OOBE)
- Generalize: Yes (tick)
- Shutdown Options: Reboot
- Optional run:
C:\Windows\System32\Sysprep\sysprep.exe /oobe /generalize /shutdown /mode:vm - You will be disconnected from RDP but the instance still run generalising and will stop once done
- Win+R, type sysprep, it will take you to C:\Windows\System32\Sysprep and run sysprep.exe
- Go to Azure portal and click on Capture to create an image now
- You find new image in Images service where you can create new VM from
Generalising Linux machine before creating an image
- Create Linux VM
- Provision/baseline your VM by SSHing to provisioning your software
- Generalise your system using Azure Linux Agent - waagent
sudo waagent -deprovision+user- account you are currently logged in will be completly deleted including home
- Linux system does not neet to be shut
- Go to Azure portal and click on Capture to create an image now
- You find new image in Images service where you can create new VM from
