azure cannot create vm from vhd image - linux

Question

I'm currently running into difficulty in creating an Azure VM from a custom VM image. I am following the guide from Azure from here: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/virtual-machines-linux-capture-image/
I've used Waagent and deprovisioned the machine as instructed, and deallocated, generalized, and captured my machine image (I have made some modifications to the core Ubuntu 16.04LTS image available from Azure software wise). I have successfully created the template.json file (Can provide it if needed). I then completed all the tasks below in the powershell script as outlined in the article, just extracting the parameters to variables to make things a bit easier.
## Global
$rgName = "testrg"
$location = "eastus"
## Storage
$storageName = "teststore"
$storageType = "Standard_GRS"
## Network
$nicname = "testnic"
$subnetName = "subnet1"
$vnetName = "testnet"
$vnetAddressPrefix = "10.0.0.0/16"
$vnetSubnetAddressPrefix = "10.0.0.0/24"
$ipName = "TestIP"
## Compute
$vmName = "testvm"
$computerName = "testcomputer"
$vmSize = "Standard_D1_v2"
$osDiskName = $vmName + "osDisk"
#template
$fileTemplate = "C:\AzureTemplate\template.json"
azure group create $rgName -l $location
azure network vnet create $rgName $vnetName -l $location
azure network vnet subnet create --resource-group $rgName --vnet-name $vnetName --name $subnetName --address-prefix $vnetSubnetAddressPrefix
azure network public-ip create $rgName $ipName -l $location
azure network nic create $rgName $nicName -k $subnetName -m $vnetName -p $ipName -l $location
azure network nic show $rgName $nicname
azure group deployment create $rgName $computerName -f $fileTemplate
I am able to successfully run all the commands to create the resource group and the network components, however, when I try to run the deployment command at the bottom of the powershell script, I get the following and it just hangs here indefinitely. Am I using the right approach to create a VM from a custom image? Or is that Azure guide outdated?
azure group deployment create $rgName $computerName -f $fileTemplate

I believe your understanding is not complete. If you see at the last line it says Supply values for the following parameters
You need to pass the values for VM name, the admin user name and password, and the Id of the NIC you created previously. My be you should re-read the documentation. Here is the screenshot for your reference from https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/virtual-machines-linux-capture-image/#deploy-a-new-vm-from-the-captured-image -
