01 - Create a virtual machine in the portal

In this walkthrough, we will create a virtual machine in the Azure portal, connect to the virtual machine, install
the web server role and test.

Note: Take time during this walk-through to click and read the Informational icons.

Task 1: Create the virtual machine


In this task, we will create a Windows Server 2019 Datacenter virtual machine.

1. Sign in to the Azure portal.

2. From the All services blade, search for and select Virtual machines, and then click + Add.

3. On the Basics tab, fill in the following information (leave the defaults for everything else):

Settings Values

Subscription Choose your subscription

Resource group myRGVM (create new)

Virtual machine name myVm

Location (US) East US

Image Windows Server 2019 Datacenter

Size Standard D2s v3

Administrator account username azureuser

Administrator account password Pa$$w0rd1234

Inbound port rules - Allow select ports RDP (3389) and HTTP (80)

4. Switch to the Management tab, and in its Monitoring section, select the following setting:

Settings Values

Boot diagnostics Off

5. Leave the remaining defaults and then click the Review + create button at the bottom of the page.

6. Once Validation is passed click the Create button. It can take anywhere from five to seven minutes to
deploy the virtual machine.

7. You will receive updates on the deployment page and via the Notifications area (the bell icon in the top
menu).

Task 2: Connect to the virtual machine


In this task, we will connect to our new virtual machine using RDP.

1. Search for myVM and select your new virtual machine.

Note: You could also use the Go to resource link on the deployment page or the link to the resource in
the Notification area.

2. On the virtual machine Overview blade, click the Connect button.

Note: The following directions tell you how to connect to your VM from a Windows computer. On a Mac,
you need an RDP client such as this Remote Desktop Client from the Mac App Store and on a Linux
computer you can use an open source RDP client.

3. In the Connect to virtual machine page, keep the default options to connect with the public IP address
over port 3389 and click Download RDP File.

4. Open the downloaded RDP file and click Connect when prompted.

5. In the Windows Security window, select More choices and then Use a different account. Provide the
username (.\azureuser) and the password (Pa$$w0rd1234). Click OK to connect.

2/5
6. You may receive a certificate warning during the sign-in process. Click Yes or to create the connection and
connect to your deployed VM. You should connect successfully.

Congratulations! You have deployed and connected to a Windows Server virtual machine in Azure

Task 3: Install the web server role and test


In this task, install the Web Server role on the server and ensure the default IIS welcome page can be displayed.

1. Open up a PowerShell command prompt on the virtual machine, by clicking the Start button, typing
PowerShell, right clicking Windows PowerShell, and selecting Run as administrator in the right-click
menu.

3/5
2. Install the Web-Server feature in the virtual machine by running the following command in the PowerShell
command prompt. You can copy and paste this command.

Code Copy

Install-WindowsFeature -name Web-Server -IncludeManagementTools

3. When completed there will be a prompt stating Success with a value True. You do not need to restart the
virtual machine to complete the installation. Close the RDP connection to the VM.

4. Back in the portal, navigate back to the Overview blade of myVM and, use the Click to clipboard button
to copy the public IP address of myVM, open a new browser tab, paste the public IP address into the URL
text box, and press the Enter key to browse to it.

4/5
5. The default IIS Web Server welcome page will open.

Congratulations! You have created a web server that is accessible via its public IP address. If you had a web
application to host, you could deploy application files to the virtual machine and host them for public access on
the deployed virtual machine.

Note: To avoid additional costs, you can remove this resource group. Search for resource groups, click your
resource group, and then click Delete resource group. Verify the name of the resource group and then click
Delete. Monitor the Notifications to see verify that the deletion completed successfully.
