When I tried to run this script, it just deleted all the resources related to VM (VM instance, disk and nik) So I need to redeploy all the things …

Good, working solution with good description.
It’ll be good to add info, that for PShell 5.1+ AzureRM-commandlets can’t be used with az-commandlets in parallel (they override each other).
So, to make this script work I’ve installed AzureRM modules with next command:
“Install-Module -Name AzureRM -RequiredVersion 5.1.1 -AllowClobber”. Restarted PS. And then went step-by-step with your instructions.
Thanks a lot!

Just found your post here and wondering if there is any data carried over to the new VM… I have an existing CA Server in Azure (not used yet but configuration is done) and would like it to be in an availability set but not set up everything from scratch .Is this something I can accomplish with your script?

Cheers from Germany

In reply to palms. I don't believe it will have a new SID, but will have a new Azure resource ID so will probably need to be added into ASR again.

Appreciate the quick response, thank you. If this is the case then, if teh original server is being backed up or part of ASR or anything else, does all that need to put back because this is essentially a new computer with I assume a new SID?

In reply to palms. This script deletes the original and creates a new one in the AV set.

Hi, are you moving the VM to an AV Set, or deleting the original and re-creating it in the Av Set?

In reply to Jeremiah Allen. I have only ever used it with managed disks so yes.

Is this process works for Managed disks?
