How can I find what windows version is running on my Virtual Machines through Azure portal?
We have about 60 resource groups with virtual machines and we are planning to upgrade all Windows server 2012, but first we need an overview of how many machines we have running with server 2012.
By googling I only found this prameter, but it only gives me if it's Windows or Linux. How can I get windows version as well?
properties.storageProfile.osDisk.osType
If you want to pull the windows versions of your virtual machines, you can below resource graph explorer query from the portal.
Here is the sample query:
resources
| where type == "microsoft.compute/virtualmachines" and properties.storageProfile.imageReference.offer == "WindowsServer"
| project name,offer=properties.storageProfile.imageReference.offer,sku=properties.storageProfile.imageReference.sku,version=properties.storageProfile.imageReference.version,minorversion=properties.storageProfile.imageReference.exactVersion
Here is the sample output screenshot for reference:

I have several IaaS Vms deployed with windows 2012 datacenter. Is it possible to upgrade to 2016 without re-creating VM?
Unfortunately, OS upgrades of Azure VMs are not supported by Microsoft.
Refer to this article,
Microsoft does not support an upgrade of the operating system of a Microsoft Azure virtual machine. Instead, you should create a new Azure virtual machine that is running the supported version of the operating system that is required and then migrate the workload.
Besides, this is the feedback of the similar issue of upgrades from 2012 R2 to 2016, you could vote it or post another specific ideal.
I'm trying to follow the below Article(s) to configure Azure Log Analytics for on prem servers as well as Azure servers to get a list of installed software.
It works well on Azure VMs but not on non-Azure VMs. All servers are successfully sending Heartbeats but only the Azure VMs are showing a list of installed Software when running the below query:
ConfigurationData
| summarize arg_max(TimeGenerated, *) by SoftwareName, Computer
| where ConfigDataType == "Software"
| summarize count() by Computer
ref: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/automation/automation-tutorial-installed-software
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/log-analytics/
Anyone knows how to get the On-Prem to show a list of installed Software?
Ok, I've found the solution!!
For azure its being done automatically but for non azure we need to go manually in our automation account and check on "Enable Inventory" and here we have 3 options (see my screen shots).
From Home --> Automation Accounts --> Automate-%ID%-WEU --> Inventory
may be useful for the Documentation as its a must for non-azure vms

I created a BizTalk server Virtual Machine in azure portal(BizTalk server 2013 standard), but I am not able to see the sql server(but I can see SQL server management studio there)and visual studio in the vm. Do I need to install sql server and visual studio manually on a biztalk server Virtual machine?
If both SQL Management Studio and Visual Studio are there, then you must have provisioned an MSDN instance, meaning a full DEV instance.
That means SQL Server is installed. Did you try to connect to SQL Server? You can try '.' or the server name itself.
I've been looking at using Biztalk on Azure recently too, and from what I understand it sounds like you only got a Biztalk Server VM, and not the DEV environment.
In that case you would need to get another VM to host SQL Server, and none of these two VM will have Visual Studio installed (see section "Biztalk Server License Options" https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/jj248689.aspx).
If what you need is a the full dev environment ready to use, then you need one of the MSDN subscriptions listed as "Full Benefits" here:

Then again, I've been looking into this stuff recently so I could be wrong.
We have a windows server 2012 hosted by an Italian provider named Aruba.
The roles of the server are:
Active Directory
HMailServer
3- SharePoint 2013
Project Server 2013
Team Foundation Server 2013
We have some doubt on how to migrate this server, of course the solution to crete a new VM in Azure and transfer users and roles is absolutely impossible as we will surely have bug problems during the migration of the role 3 4 5.
We have tried to create a VHD file using DSK2VHD, but after the upload of the disk to Azure, we wasn't able to create the Virtual machine.
What if we create a parallel machine in the Italian cloud and then use VmWare Converter to export the machine and subsequently convert it to Hyper-V and update to Azure ?
What is the best and reliable approach we should use to migrate correctly all?
It is possible that your issue is due to size restriction or that the disk is not fixed size?
Uploading the VHD using CSUpload could help as it will ensure the disk is converted to fixed size before uploading.
I am new to Windows Azure platform and I am trying to set up Azure Load test. I have already set up Storage account, hosted service and Virtual Network. However, I cannot find Connect tab under Networks -> Virtual Network. The prerequites i.e. Windows Azure SDK and Windows Azure Tools for VS 2010 have been installed. My local machine OS is 64 bit Windows 7.
You must use the previous Management Portal to manage Connect VPNs. The new Management Portal cannot yet manage them. It's under "Virtual Network" tab in there. Also, this CTP must be enabled for your subscription(s) or it may not be present in the portal.
First of all Azure Connect is still in Preview and there is no significant improvements in this component for over a years so I would suggest not to use it.
If you really want to see Windows Azure Connect, it is only available in older portal so please go to older portal to see it.
