Deploy VM on Azure using created (generalized/sysprep'ed) snapshot stored on Blob - azure

Question

I need someone more experienced with VM's on Azure. I have prepared image with Win2016 Server and few additional configurations. I have done sysprep and created image and snapshot after that. When I create a new machine using this image, machine fails and don't event start. So I have found another solution: snapshot taken from this machine and transferred to blob. A new machine after below code execution starts but i am not able to connect RDP...

You could use the blob to create a snapshot and use the snapshot to create a new VM, you could check this example.
$snapshot = Get-AzureRmSnapshot -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName -SnapshotName $snapshotName
$diskConfig = New-AzureRmDiskConfig -AccountType $storageType -Location $snapshot.Location -SourceResourceId $snapshot.Id -CreateOption Copy
$disk = New-AzureRmDisk -Disk $diskConfig -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName -DiskName $osDiskName
#Initialize virtual machine configuration
$VirtualMachine = New-AzureRmVMConfig -VMName $virtualMachineName -VMSize $virtualMachineSize
#Use the Managed Disk Resource Id to attach it to the virtual machine. Please change the OS type to linux if OS disk has linux OS
$VirtualMachine = Set-AzureRmVMOSDisk -VM $VirtualMachine -ManagedDiskId $disk.Id -CreateOption Attach -Linux
#Create a public IP for the VM
$publicIp = New-AzureRmPublicIpAddress -Name ($VirtualMachineName.ToLower()+'_ip') -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName -Location $snapshot.Location -AllocationMethod Dynamic
#Get the virtual network where virtual machine will be hosted
$vnet = Get-AzureRmVirtualNetwork -Name $virtualNetworkName -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName
# Create NIC in the first subnet of the virtual network
$nic = New-AzureRmNetworkInterface -Name ($VirtualMachineName.ToLower()+'_nic') -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName -Location $snapshot.Location -SubnetId $vnet.Subnets[0].Id -PublicIpAddressId $publicIp.Id
$VirtualMachine = Add-AzureRmVMNetworkInterface -VM $VirtualMachine -Id $nic.Id
#Create the virtual machine with Managed Disk
New-AzureRmVM -VM $VirtualMachine -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName -Location $snapshot.Location
