Create Azure File Shares at your ARM template using PowerShell Using Azure Resource Manage template deployment, you can create a Storage account but you cannot create File Shares. Azure File Shares can be created using the Azure Portal, the Azure PowerShell or the Azure Cli. Mainly, the idea is to run a PowerShell script that will create the File Shares. This script will be invoked inside the ARM Template. In order to use a PowerShell script from a template, the script must be called from a URL.
Add multiple managed disks to Azure RM VM In this post I have created a PowerShell script to help add multiple managed disks to an Azure RM Virtual Machine.

After that it will query the available VMs and promt to select the target VM from the VM list. At this point I am checking the OS disk and define the storage type of the data disk.
Microsoft Azure Nested Virtualization | VM in Nested VM in Azure VM After my main Microsoft Azure Nested Virtualization | Hyper-V VM inside Azure VM post, we saw two usage scenarios. One is running Hyper-V Replica and the other is running Web Server in nested VM on Azure. Now lets have some fun and try to run a VM nested inside a VM nested inside an Azure VM. As a fellow said, VM inception! We will use again the nested VM that we created at the Microsoft Azure Nested Virtualization | Hyper-V VM

How to disconnect a mailbox & re-assign it to new user in a Hybrid Scenario Scenario objectives: We have an Exchange Hybrid setup between on-premises and Exchange Online (Office 365).
