Azure Stack HCI can also host user profile disks (UPDs). Since UPD is VHD (both native Windows Server functionality and [FSLogix](https://github.com/microsoft/WSLab/tree/master/Scenarios/FSLogix)), Scale-Out File Server can be used as workload pattern is the same as for Virtual Machines.

In WSLab is one [scenario](https://github.com/microsoft/WSLab/tree/master/Scenarios/Windows%20Update), that explains how to invoke Windows Update using WMI/CIM methods. There are different classes in Windows Server 2016 and Windows Server 2019. Therefore in following code is releaseID checked and then depending on that different CIM namespace used. In Deep Dive Scenario you can see, that slightly different argument is used (with AutoSelectOnWebSites=1). [AutoSelectOnWebSites = 1](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/wuapi/nf-wuapi-iupdatesearcher-search) will also find updates that are flagged to be automatically selected by windows update.

It is also necessary to configure physical switches correctly. In general there should be multiple VLANs configured on ports (for Management,Storage and Virtual Machines) with one access VLAN (management). It is also mandatory to configure PfC/ETS when RoCE RDMA is used (DCB Priority Flow Control with priorities 0,3 and 7 with ETS enabled). See [network architecture part](/AzureStackHCI/01-AzSHCI-Planning/04-network-architecture.md). Great switch configuration examples were published by PFE Jan Mortensen at [s2d.dk](http://www.s2d.dk).

When creating volumes, there are several factors to consider. One is, that due to overhead from [CSV redirection](https://github.com/microsoft/WSLab/tree/master/Scenarios/TestingCSVRedirection) (CSV is FileSystem redirected if REFS used and even if NTFS is used, Storage Spaces are File redirected). Therefore you want to have at least the same number of volumes as you have nodes (or multiple) to effectively distribute IOPS. Another factor is size of volume itself. While it is supported to create 64TB volume, it might be challenging to restore entire volume in reasonable time if something goes wrong.

Another aspect is if using [tiers](https://github.com/microsoft/WSLab/tree/master/Scenarios/S2D%20and%20Tiers%20deep%20dive) (templates) or not. Tiers are mandatory for Multi-Resilient volumes (Mirror-Accelerated Parity) - anytime you want to create a volume that consist of more than 1 kind (different tiers). If using system, where are both SSDs and HDDs for capacity, it is wise to either use tiers, or specify mediatype for created volume. For mor information about volumes see [Volume Deep Dive](https://github.com/Microsoft/WSLab/tree/master/Scenarios/S2D%20and%20Volumes%20deep%20dive)

Depending on scale, you might consider using PowerShell to deploy Virtual Machines and join these machines to domain in one iteration. The process is two part. In first part you create a VM on one cluster node (preferably random) and second part adds this VM as clustered resource
4
+
5
+
## Simple example
6
+
7
+
```powershell
8
+
$VMName="MyVM"
9
+
$VolumeName="MirrorDisk1"
10
+
$ClusterName="AzSHCI-Cluster"
11
+
$ClusterNode="AzSHCI1"
12
+
$SwitchName="SETSwitch"
13
+
$DiskSize=128GB
14
+
$MemoryStartupBytes=1GB
15
+
16
+
New-VM -Name $VMName `
17
+
-NewVHDPath "c:\ClusterStorage\$VolumeName\$VMName\Virtual Hard Disks\$VMName.vhdx" `
Since above example just creates blank VM, let's experiment with creating Windows Server Virtual Machine.
30
+
31
+
## Creating Windows Server/Windows 10 VHD
32
+
33
+
To create Windows vhd/vhdx can be tool convert-windowsimage used. https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/Virtualization-Documentation/blob/master/hyperv-tools/Convert-WindowsImage/Convert-WindowsImage.ps1
34
+
35
+
To simplify conversion process you will find **CreateParentDisk.ps1** tool in mslab. It is available [MSLab GitHub](https://github.com/microsoft/MSLab/blob/master/Tools/CreateParentDisk.ps1) and the only thing needed is to right-click and select "run with PowerShell". The script will download convert-windowsimage and will ask for ISO and MSU (Cumulative Update and Servicing Stack Update). To Download CU and SSU you can use another tool - [DownloadLatestCUs.ps1](https://github.com/microsoft/MSLab/blob/master/Tools/DownloadLatestCUs.ps1).

Once parent VHD is created, we can proceed with VM creation. The end-to-end process on how to create domain-joined VMs with various parameters is documented [here](https://github.com/microsoft/MSLab/tree/master/Scenarios/S2D%20and%20Bulk%20VM%20creation)
