Azure Linux VM, with OS showing as Windows in portal
I have a Linux VM in Azure. The OS shows as Windows and not Linux. I noticed this when trying to reset password. This didn't work, then I noticed the SSH key box was missing. So my two concerns are...
Hey.
I had an existing Linux VM on Azure in a different part of the world.
I had to remove the VM and move the VHD, then create a new VM in PowerShell. One of the PowerShell switches allows you to specify the type (Windows/Linux).
The VM created, boot perfectly fine - it's just azure 'thinks' it's a windows machine (even though I chose Linux)

I think in this case you need to connect with Azure Support only,
- That was my worry,
I just think 200 quid for support is a bit extreme :-(
Cheers anywaycould you supply the command you used to recreate the VM ?
