I have to Spin a new VM on Azure from the Image.I have to do this using powershell scripts and not from azure portal. This is the link I'm following to do it.
Now my question is , if I have a VM Image in say Resource Group : ABC
and I need to create a VM in Resource Group : XYZ
, can it be done? And also I do not have access to Resource Group ABC
.
And also where and how do I set my username and password. When we create a new VM from portal, it asks to set username and password. How to do that using powershell.
This is the command I'm trying to use.
New-AzureRmVm `
-ResourceGroupName "XYZ" `
-Name "TestVM" `
-ImageName "Image1" `
-VirtualNetworkName "VNET1" `
-SubnetName "Subnet1"
When I run this command , it is giving the below error.
New-AzureRmVm : Can't find the image 'Image1'.
At line:1 char:1
+ New-AzureRmVm `
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : CloseError: (:) [New-AzureRmVM], ArgumentException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.Azure.Commands.Compute.NewAzureVMCommand
Is it because, Image1
is in ABC
resource group and not in XYZ
. If yes, how do I specify it to map the image fromABC
and create VM in XYZ
.

As far as I know, there is no way to create a VM yourself if the image in another resource group and you do not have access to the resource group.
If you really want to do that, you can ask the owner of the resource group copy the image to you or give you permission to copy.
You can set the username and password when you create the VM using PowerShell command like this:
$cred = Get-Credential
The result will like this screenshot:
New-AzureRmVm `
-ResourceGroupName "myResourceGroupVM" `
-Name "myVM" `
-Location "EastUS" `
-VirtualNetworkName "myVnet" `
-SubnetName "mySubnet" `
-SecurityGroupName "myNetworkSecurityGroup" `
-PublicIpAddressName "myPublicIpAddress" `
-Credential $cred

Maybe you can store your image in a blob storage and then on creating the VM pass the url of this .VHD file.
To set your own password on create your VM just need this:
$UserName = "example"
$Password = ConvertTo-SecureString "example" -AsPlainText -Force
$psCred = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential($UserName, $Password)
and then take a look on the following command to specify the config of System Machine Set-AzureRmVMOperatingSystem, there's a parameter to pass the credential object like:
Set-AzureRmVMOperatingSystem -Credential $psCred -VM $configMachine -Windows -ComputerName $nameMachine -EnableAutoUpdate:$false

As per my knowledge, you cannot spin up new VM from image which is present in another resource group.
Note: The image needs to be in the same resource group where you want to create the VM.
Try to create spin up VM in the same resource group where the image is available.
New-AzureRmVm `
-ResourceGroupName "ABC" `
-Name "TestVM" `
-ImageName "Image1" `
-VirtualNetworkName "VNET1" `
-SubnetName "Subnet1"
