DevTest Lab Custom Image not generalized does not include data disks.

Warren Johnson 6

Despite what the documentation states. When creating a custom image from DevTest Labs, of a non generalized VM, the data disks are not recreated when creating a VM from the image. They are recreated for generalized VMs images. Is this a bug?

I am currently investigating and will back to you shortly.

Is this the documentation you are referring to: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devtest-labs/devtest-lab-create-custom-image-from-vm-using-portal ?
If yes, can you please share which one did you choose under image preparation option, out of the first two?

I have not generalized this virtual machine if you haven't run sysprep and don't want to run sysprep on the VM when creating the custom image.

Generalize this virtual machine (Run sysprep) if you haven't run sysprep and you want sysprep to be run on the VM when creating the custom image.

I have already generalized this virtual machine if you already ran sysprep on the VM. (As you mentioned, data disks are successfully recreated for this scenario)
