Lab VM Setup Guide

Create VM

We are using this image and vm size because it supports nested virtualization used for Hyper-V and WSL2 Support

Script create-lab-vm.azcli:

rnd=$RANDOM
loc=westeurope
grp=az-lab
vmname=labvm-$rnd
user=azlabadmin
pwd=Lab@dmin1233

az group create -n $grp -l $loc

az vm create -g $grp -n $vmname --admin-username $user --admin-password $pwd --image MicrosoftWindowsDesktop:Windows-10:20h2-pro:19042.746.2101092352 --size Stan

Note: You could also execute create-lab-vm.sh or run the following remote script in Cloud Shell

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ARambazamba/M365-Dev/main/Setup/create-lab-vm.sh | bash

Note: In order for Docker to work on a Windows 10 host you need to install Hyper-V or use Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 (WSL2). A detailed Setup Guide can be found here

Connect to VM

Go to Ressource Group az204-lab and connect to VM using RDP and the credentials that you have used in the script:

Download RDP File:

Optional - Disable Login:

Sign In & Remember:

Credentials:

user=azlabadmin
pwd=Lab@dmin1234

Accept Settings:

Install Required Software - Can also run on your dev machine

To install Software run the script setup-m365-dev.ps1 from an elevated PowerShell prompt:

Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force;
Invoke-Expression ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ARambazamba/M365-Dev/main/Setup/setup-m365-dev.ps1'))

Note: This script will run for approx 20 min. No need to wait! In the meantime you can continue to fork and clone my repo as described in the next section.

Congratulations you have completed the base setup of a labs vm!

Fork & Clone Class Repo and set Github requirements

Set User and E-Mail in order to be able to commit to git:

git config --global user.name "Your Name"
git config --global user.email "[email protected]"

Go to https://github.com/ARambazamba/az-204 and fork the repo

The forking-workflow allows you to commit your changes to your fork of the repo and still get updates on the repo

Clone Class Repo:

git clone https://github.com/Student01/AZ-400-v2

Note: If you have forked the class repo clone your own fork, otherwise use https://github.com/ARambazamba/AZ-400-v2

Setup Docker Support

There are two options to configure Docker support. WSL2 recommended

Option 1 - Install Docker with Hyper-V

Option 2 - Install Docker with WSL2

Install WSL2

Execute script setup-wsl2.ps1 multible times to setup WSL2

Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force;
Invoke-Expression ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ARambazamba/AZ-400-v2/master/Setup/setup-wsl2.ps1'))

First Run:

Second Run:

After the second run your selected linux distro will be opened an you can set your username:

Note: You can take the same credntials just like on the Windows VM

user=azlabadmin

Note: Enter logoff in the current console

Start Docker Desktop and switch to settings:

Check the WSL2 settings:
