Hey guys,
I am new to Azure and trying to spin up new servers. We do not have licensing for datacenter editions, but notice that all of the templates in Azure are datacenter. Does anyone know why standard and enterprise are not options in the templates? Do you forcefully have to change them over to remain compliant with your licensing or something.
Thanks,

I emailed our Microsoft rep and he checked into it and here is his answer.
when you deploy Windows servers in Azure, you will deploy the DC edition. There’s not a Standard edition in Azure. With Standard, you can use the licenses either on premise or in Azure, even to deploy Azure DC edition images, plus concurrently for 30 days during migrations.
Hi Dave.
How is this question related to Azure AD?
For the bring your own license scenario, read this article regarding supported licenses that you can use in Azure https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/hybrid-benefit/
Hi @Dave Bryan Did you try and edit the json file to hard code the OS you need. Or you can also make it available as a parameter during deployment.
Amazing how all the "MSFT" people seem like they have never created a VM from an Azure template before. They should never have replied since they had no idea how to resolve the problem. Thanks very much for coming back and posting your final comment. The exact answer we need. Attached is another screen shot of this problem with the Server 2022 images. Note the search was for all WS 2022 templates and every single one is "datacenter".
