VirtualMachineOperationsExtensions.CaptureOSImage Method (IVirtualMachineOperations, String, String, String, VirtualMachineCaptureOSImageParameters)

 

The Capture Role operation creates a copy of the operating system virtual hard disk (VHD) that is deployed in the virtual machine, saves the VHD copy in the same storage location as the operating system VHD, and registers the copy as an image in your image gallery. From the captured image, you can create additional customized virtual machines. For more information about images and disks, see Manage Disks and Images at https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windowsazure/jj672979.aspx.

Return Value

Type: Microsoft.Azure.OperationStatusResponse

The response body contains the status of the specified asynchronous operation, indicating whether it has succeeded, is inprogress, or has failed. Note that this status is distinct from the HTTP status code returned for the Get Operation Status operation itself. If the asynchronous operation succeeded, the response body includes the HTTP status code for the successful request. If the asynchronous operation failed, the response body includes the HTTP status code for the failed request and error information regarding the failure.
