Hello Andrew! Apologies for the delay in response.
First step would be to attach a shared image gallery to the lab account
Professor should now be able to export the required template VM to the shared image gallery.
If you would like to use a custom VHD image, below is the step by step process -
- For Windows VMs, generalize the source VM by using Sysprep.
- Follow the same DevTest Lab procedure of uploading the VHD into a Storage Account.
- Create an image snapshot of the VHD. This can only be achieved through PowerShell.
- From the Shared Image Gallery, create an image definition and version. When prompted for the Source Image, pick the previously created image snapshot.
- From labs.azure.com, professor should now be able to create a new Lab starting from the image in the Shared Image Gallery.
Hope this helps! Please do let us know if you have any other questions!
