Azure VM : Run Command Feature

  • 아티클

I am Happy and surprised to see, Microsoft commitments towards improvements of the services are quite amazing, I am using MS Azure services since when it is classic model (ASM) and it has very limited feature but when MS has started his “Resource Manager Journey”, It’s improving the lots of services  and adding new feature day on day.

I am a little bit surprised with this new Feature “Run Command” which is enabled in Azure VMs Operations properties ,it’s will provide the “Powershell to execute the command,  can enable the Administrator accounts and even more you can reset the password, set the remote ports” and many more which can’t be done through portal earlier.

Which will generally help to troubleshot the VMs related query?

Now you can easily get the IP configuration from the portal and enables lots of new below mention things. Below is the list of the commands.

Name Description

RunPowerShellScript

 Executes a PowerShell script

EnableAdminAccount

EnableRemotePS

IPConfig

RDPSettings
