  1. Active Directory and Migrating Hyper-V with PowerShell 6

  2. Active Directory in VM

  3. Active Directory in VM • Why discuss this topic? • Distributed database aspects • DNS set up • Cannot use Azure internal DNS servers for AD • Use a DIP (Dynamic IP address) for a Domain Controller? • Disk caching setting for AD database ?

  4. Migrating VHDs from Hyper-V

  5. Disks in VMs • Disks in Azure VMs • C:\- Windows OS disk (on blob storage) • D:\- Local disk (on local server) - for temp files, such as pagefile.sys • E:\, F:\, etc - Data disks (on blob storage) • Each data disk can be max 1 TB in size • Max number of data disks depends on VM size - up to 16 data disks

  6. VHD files • Format • Only vhd-files (not vhdx-files) • Only fixed size vhd-files • No differencing vhd-files • Can convert any vhdx to vhd • Can convert any vhd to fixed size • Can resize vhd to smaller size

  7. Authentication and Access (4x) • Portal access • Uses Live ID (Microsoft Account) • Go to http://manage.windowsazure.com • Role: Service Administrator or Co-Administrator • Uses special REST API without providing certificate • Management certificate • Certificate can be self-signed • Does not check certificate expiration • Used by PowerShell • Used by REST API • Storage access • Uses secret key • Or anonymous share access • RDP VM access • Uses username/password

  8. Upload your own VHD-file • Use PowerShell command (Add-AzureVHD) to upload vhd-file • Prepare vhd-file in Hyper-V • Allow RDP access • Don't worry about IP network settings • (optional) Pagefile on D:\ • Do not use older csupload.exe • The upload PowerShell command is "smart" • Converts dynamic vhd-file to static vhd-file • Uploads "sparse" (= skips empty parts) • Add-AzureDisk en Add-AzureImage is something else

  9. Download VHD-file to Hyper-V • Can use Portal to download vhd-file • Use PowerShell command (Save-AzureVHD) to download vhd-file • What can you do with download vhd-file? • VHD-file is fixed size - can convert to dynamically expanding • Load in Hyper-V • What about networking? • Configure running VM
