HOW TO CREATE WINDOW SERVER VIRTUAL MACHINE IN AZURE.

This article explains how to create a Windows Server virtual machine, which is similar to creating a regular virtual machine but tailored for server-specific tasks. The difference between the two is that virtual machines can be used for a wide range of workloads, while Windows Server VMs are designed for tasks like hosting Active Directory or running SQL Server. To create a Windows Server VM, start by searching for Virtual Machine on the dashboard and clicking on "Create a virtual machine" hosted by Azure. Name the resource group, leave the region on default, and set the availability to "no infrastructure redundancy required". Select the Windows Server 2022 Datacenter-Azure edition as the image and choose a suitable size, such as Standard_DS1_v2 with 1 vcpu and 16GiB memory. Set up the administrator account with a username and password that meets the requirements. Select the inbound ports, such as RDP (3389), and click "Review + create" to validate the settings. Once deployment is complete, go to the resource group and click "Connect" to connect to the VM using RDP with the public IP address and port number. Download the RDP file, enter the login credentials, and open the file to connect to the server. Finally, run Windows PowerShell as an administrator and install a web server using the command "Install-WindowsFeature -Name Web-Server -IncludeManagementTools".
