VMs not allocated
Hi, I'm building a lab for our networking module, and I've configured synchronization of users with a group. I added a handful of users to test, and under "Virtual machine pool" those users have a VM allocated and their status is "Registered". I've now added all the users to the group, but the new users show as "Not registered" and no VM gets allocated. I thought that using sync to group meant users didn't need to be invited, and they could just login and get started? The total users is just over 200, so well within the 400 user limit. Is there a limit on how many users can be added to the group in one go?

Hi, Is there a way to prevent "User" from accessing the lab after a certain date? We must keep assignments for a certain amount of time so we can't delete the labs immediately after the course ends. We are looking for a way to prevent the students from returning to their VMs and modifying their assignments. I thought about changing the VM's password, but doing that one machine at a time is time-consuming. Is there any better way, or any way at all, to achieve this?

Ich habe vor kurzem die Veröffentlichung einer Vorlage gestartet, dann meinen lokalen Computer herunter gefahren. Ich nahm an, dass die Veröffentlichung als Job in Azure Lab Services weiterläuft ohne dass ich per Browser verbunden sein muss. Doch das scheint nicht der Fall zu sein. Scheinbar muss das Browserfenster weiterhin geöffnet bleiben, bis die Veröffentlichung abgeschlossen ist. Kann das bitte jemand bestätigen oder widerlegen?SolvedfgclodtSep 30, 2024Copper Contributor1.1KViews0likes2Comments
Using Azure VM Extensions on the Azure Lab Services Template
Hello, If I create a Windows template that has VM extensions such as backup or domain join, will the functionality of the extensions work in my Azure Lab Services environment? If that is not possible, what is the reason for that?SolvedMasih17Sep 30, 2024Copper Contributor879Views0likes1CommentMultihomed VM in Azure Lab
Hi. Is it possible to add network adapters to VM template or to a VM instance in Azure Lab? Say I want to test network routing or iSCSI. I'm guessing one way would be using nested virtualization for then there would be no restrictions for adding resources to VMs within the nested environment, right?

Hello, I have a domain joined Lab environment and I'm looking for the best way to provide external storage to our lab machines. In our lab, we use Windows machines but in the future, we'll use Linux as well. I'd like the drive to be mounted to the lab's VM, at startup so that the students don't have to do any further configurations. In other words, is it possible to mount the drive to the template? If yes, how? Microsoft suggests many ways to use an external drive here. If I want only the owner of the file to have read/write access to the files, which of the methods mentioned in the suggestions should I pick? Thank you!SolvedMasih17Sep 30, 2024Copper Contributor744Views0likes1CommentRegular Azure commands
Hello, I'm familiar with Az.LabServices Powershell Module. But I want to know why regular Azure commands (Get-AzVm, Get-AzVirtualNetwork, etc) don't return any information about the Lab Services resources? Is there any way to get information about the virtual machines, network, etc, only with regular Azure commands? Thank you!SolvedMasih17Sep 30, 2024Copper Contributor602Views0likes1CommentLab Creator and Lab Contributors can't see the Labs
Hi, I have assigned the Roles above to our new team member but for some reason, he can not see the labs created by other users. I have tried various scopes such as subscription, Lab account, and the resource but had no result. From what I understand of the Role description, he should be able to see the Virtual machines, Start, Stop, Reset them, and more. Or is it so, that the Contributor and the Creator can only see the labs that they have created and not those by others?

Hi All, Our organization is using Azure Lab Services and, we are seeking advice on a problem we are facing. The problem happens when students mistakenly modify the connection of their Lab machine. Understandably, changing the IP setting makes the RDP string obsolete. After that, the VM takes like 45 minutes to start (sometimes it fails and stops immediately) and, if it starts, the remote desktop is not possible. Of course, we can reset the bad VM but, that is not convenient because they will lose all their work. My questions are: Is there absolutely no other way to access a machine that its initial IP address has changed? Is there any way to backup students' lab computers?

Today all virtual machines in my Lab aren't starting (including the Template). The status is showing "Starting" but nothing happens. I have checked the Azure Status page but it shows all green. Does anyone knows what this can be?Solvedolegkarasik1Sep 30, 2024Copper Contributor3.1KViews0likes3Comments
