#1

Hi ,
I’m doing AZ-Course and I try to use script provided , but I have problem to create VM as unable to use the right image with the right SKU for the disk (as policy don’t let premium disk to be created) , please may you give me the right command : below a part of the script (from git AZ104\v2\050- Administer Virtual Networking)
New-AzVM -Name “workload-a-vm-$i” -ResourceGroupName $rg
-Location eastus -Size 'Standard_B1s'
-Image “Ubuntu2204” -VirtualNetworkName "vnet-workloads"
-SubnetName ‘snet-workload-a’ -Credential $credential
-PublicIpAddressName “workload-a-vm-$i-pip” `
-PublicIpSku Standard

Could you link please to the lab you’re working on? A bit of context would help us help you.

Hi Rob

I’m working on lab AZ104 and I’m on the part of NSG course . to follow it I use github : AZ104/v2/050- Administer Virtual Networking at main · kodekloudhub/AZ104 · GitHub . I 'm looking for a way to create VM with standard LRS instead of premium LRS which is not allowed with the policy of the playground azure kodekloud.

Thx for your help

Still need more information; I’m asking my colleagues to look into this, but we’ll need more from you. Please:

  • Give a link to an actual lab, so we know why you’re running the script and in what context; the repo does not tell me why you’re running this script.
  • Give us more information about what error you’re getting – a screen shot would be very useful here.

I asked our engineers about this. One of them made the following suggestion:
