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...
Hi Paul,
how long you have been using this VM?, when was this happen? How many Resounce Grop have you created?

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)
