When I type "$diskConfig = New-AzDiskConfig", there is no prompt for input. The training vidoe is different. Why?

Hi Hongbo Yang,

Thank you for your presence on the Microsoft Q&A forum. It seems you're currently undertaking the following exercise as part of the Learn path.

• Section: AZ-104: Prerequisites for Azure administrators - Training | Microsoft Learn
• Module: Configure Azure resources with tools - Training | Microsoft Learn
• Unit 5 of 9: Interactive lab simulation (Azure PowerShell) - Training | Microsoft Learn

As you mentioned that the Input parameters for the command $diskConfig = "New-AzDiskConfig" will be prompted once the command is terminated with the backtick (`) symbol, as illustrated below:

$diskConfig = New-AzDiskConfig `
  >> -Location eastus2 `
  >> -CreateOption Empty `
  >> -DiskSizeGB 16 `
  >> -Sku Standard_LRS

The backtick (`) at the end of the "New-AzDiskConfig" command indicates that input parameters will be requested once the command concludes.

Note: backtick (`). On a standard keyboard layout, it is typically located on the same key as the tilde (~), usually to the left of the 1 key on the top row.

Input was successfully provided in the prompt from my end. Below is a Screenshot for your reference.
