[Azure] custom script (windows)

custom script is used when there is a need to cut down the time to do installation of the software after the server is up and running. For now, we are going to focus on azure. I have done up a simple PowerShell script that will do the following tasks as per below-

import-module servermanager
add-windowsfeature web-server -includeallsubfeature
add-windowsfeature Web-Asp-Net45
add-windowsfeature NET-Framework-Features

Copy the above into a notepad and save it as a .ps1. Save the file and upload it to a azure storage container.

Please see screenshot for more clarity

Please select custom script extension and then import the script that has been uploaded to the storage container.

Give it some time for the VM to boot up and then try to access the page with http:/IP_Address and it should show up internet information services. If you are not able to see the page, check to ensure that the necessary firewall ports are open.
