Azurestack-Kickstart

This repo is a Collection of scripts to run after AzureStack ASDK Installations The Idea is to have base components/logins stored in a json template and credentials stored in session variables. The Consistent Approach allws you to "Bootstrap" your Shell session with the 99_bootstrap script(s) The Bootstrap Scripts wll read the user / admin json files having envronment data stored from the Homedirectory

ALL SCRIPTS IN THE REPO NOT MENTIONED HERE ARE STILL IN TRANSITIONING FROM MY YOLD TOOLS AND NOT TESTED

to install the Azuer Stack Kickstart, simply type in

install-script azurestack-kickstart -Scope CurrentUser -Force
Azurestack-Kickstart.ps1

the command will run itsself in elevated Mode and will:

• disable updates
• Install GitSCM, Chrome and Shortcuts for the Portals
• Clone into Azuerstack-Kickstart Distro

Once finished, CD into Azurestack-DSC. create an admin.json file in your Homedirectory ( copy the admin.json.example fro the root of the distro as reference)

initial powershell modules config

To set the initial stack configuration and install Powershell Modules run:

D:\azurestack-dsc\admin\03_initial_stack.ps1

The Command will run itself in elevated Mode ![image]

this task can be repeated at any time to update the AzureStack Powershell environment

register the stack

D:\azurestack-dsc\admin\06_register_stack.ps1

this will use your setiings from admin.json to register your azurestack

Starting the customizations

we have to load now our admin environment

 D:\azurestack-dsc\admin\99_bootstrap.ps1

deploy Base Plans

D:\azurestack-dsc\admin\10_deploy_base_plans_and_quotas.ps1

deploy Windows Marketplace Items from ISO

this needs to run in an Admin Session ...

D:\azurestack-dsc\admin\99_bootstrap.ps1
D:\azurestack-dsc\admin\11_deploy_windows_marketplace_image.ps1

you can create Bulk Marketplace Images by using:

$KB= (get-content D:\azurestack-dsc\admin\windowsupdate.json |ConvertFrom-Json) |Sort-Object-Property Date |Select-Object KB |Where-Object KB -ne""$KB| D:\azurestack-dsc\admin\11_deploy_windows_marketplace_image.ps1 -ISOPath 'D:\updates\'-UpdatePath D:\updates\

this will batch create Marketplace Items for All Windows Server 2016 KB´s listed in the included windowsupdate.json
the process is

• checking if SKU and Version already in Marketplace
• eval the Steps
• download updates if not available
• clean up orphan vhd / cab files
  the msu files remain in the $updatepath

user scripts

example user.json file

{
"Domain": "azurestack",
"VMuser": "azureuser",
"VMPassword": "Password123!",
"TenantName": "contoso.onmicrosoft.com",
"azsuser": "azsuser1",
"cloudadmin": "cloudadmin",
"AZSTools_Location": "D:\\AzureStack-Tools",
"AzureRMProfile": "2017-03-09-profile",
"AzureSTackModuleVersion": "1.2.11",
"KeyvaultDnsSuffix": "adminvault.local.azurestack.external",
"ArmEndpoint": "https://management.local.azurestack.external",
"StackIP": "10.204.16.82"
} 

user bootstrapping

once the use has created his config file, he can bootstrap from his powershell to get permanent variables in the session.

.\user\99_bootstrap_user.ps1

creating Windows VM Scalesets using -osImageSkuVersion

If the Cloudadmin has provided differnt osImageSKU´s from above, we can

PS C:\Users\bottk\Azurestack-dsc> .\user\60_new-azsserver2016vmss.ps1 -vmssName myssdemo -osImageSkuVersion 14393.729.20170130

This creates a new vmscaleset with the os image version 14393.729.20170130

we can verify the properties of the scaleset :
