Description

These topics are deprecated and will be removed in the future. This topic describes the cmdlet in the 0.8.1 version of the Microsoft Azure PowerShell module. To find out the version of the module you're using, from the Azure PowerShell console, type (Get-Module -Name Azure).Version.

The New-WAPackQuickVM cmdlet creates a virtual machine based on a template.

Examples

Example 1: Create a virtual machine based on a template

PS C:\> $Credentials = Get-Credential
PS C:\> $TemplateId = Get-WAPackVMTemplate -Id 66242D17-189F-480D-87CF-8E1D749998C8
PS C:\> New-WAPackQuickVM -Name "VirtualMachine023" -Template $TemplateId -VMCredential $Credentials

The first command creates a PSCredential object, and then stores it in the $Credentials variable. The cmdlet prompts you for an account and password. For more information, type Get-Help Get-Credential.

The second command gets a template by using the Get-WAPackVMTemplate cmdlet. The command specifies the ID of a template. The command stores the template object in the $TemplateID variable.

The final command creates a virtual machine named VirtualMachine023. The command bases the virtual machine on the template stored in $TemplateId.
