Goal: I would like to run OpenWrt in a Microsoft Azure Virtual Machine.
Problem: From researching it appears that Azure and Hyper-V have the same issue where the Virtual NIC are not detected.
Supposed Solution: Supposedly the solution is to patch OpenWrt Source with Tulip. (Open Wrt Forum on subject: https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/5770)
Problem: I can't seem to find a working patch to patch openWrt to support tulip.
Question: Has anyone successfully used OpenWrt in an Azure virtual machine or in Hyper-V? If so where can I get the patch or is there another method?
Follow this tutorial http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/build
Run "make menuconfig" and navigate to kernel packages, network devices, and select tulip family. (This will allow Hyper-V Legacy adapters to be recognized and configured within OpenWrt)
Then run "make", extract combined.gz, convert extracted file to vhd using qemu-img http://docs.openstack.org/image-guide/content/ch_converting.html
Then create a vim and use the .vhd as the virtual hard disk
The ticket you referenced was for the BackFire release in 2010. If you use that image then it should work for you.

I have problem. I need to change my microsoft azure virtual machine operating system. I had a windows vm template , so what i need to write in a code ( Json) to change OS ??? Or some other ways (portal , powershell ect) ? Thanks for help me)
P.s my English is bad i`m sorry...
Microsoft does not support an upgrade of the operating system of a Microsoft Azure virtual machine. (For more information, see KB 4014997.)
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.
Instructions for how to migrate Windows Server roles and features are available in the following TechNet topic:

I'm trying to use Packer form Hashicorp to create VMs. The idea is that I can create Windows 10 VMs for for each of my assignments, and run those VMs on my "main" Windows 10. I have access to Hyper-V, and as of late 2016, Packer supports that too.
Grabbing several files from Matt Wrock's Github repository, I have created a json file, an Autounattend and some scripts. When running Packer, I ended up with an error saying "Error getting WinRM host: No ip address". This had gone on for 5+ hours, so something was not going right. Interestingly, the Hyper-V Manger said that the VM was there, and I could even log in. Then I noticed that none of install scripts had been executed. For instance, in my Autounattend I execute Matt's boxstarter.ps1 script to install Boxstarter, but Boxstarter has not been installed.
To get a better visual on the process, I changed the Autounattend.xml to have all WillShowUI properties set to true. Nothing appears. To me this seems like Windows 10 is not booted. Any idea how I can check this? Also, from a different Github repository, I found in a json file for Windows Server 2013 the "boot_command" with value aaa. Without having any idea whether this applies to Windows 10 as well, I put that in my json file too. Maybe this boot command is wrong?
Alternatively, is there anyone out there having a public repository which I can use to create Windows 10 VMs that will run on Hyper-V on a Windows 10 machine?
Got some good news :) You don't need to build Packer from source for the Hyper-V provisioner. It was merged in at version 0.12.1 so if you have the latest you're good to go.
Here are some samples that I used when testing it for version 0.12.1+:
https://github.com/StefanScherer/packer-windows - Samples for Windows 10 & Windows Server 2016 set up with Docker & Windows containers
Ubuntu 16.04, hyperv-iso, generation 2 (UEFI) https://github.com/taliesins/packer-baseboxes/blob/master/hyperv-ubuntu-16.04.json
Feel free to ping me on GitHub (#patricklang) with issues in any of those repos.
There is not enough details to tell what's wrong.
Try using taliesins basebox - Windows 10, he is the main author of the Hyper-V support in Packer and I expect his examples to work.
Over the last few days I got vnc to a GCE Linux vm working. Moral of the story: forget gnome, go with xfce.
Got Google Chrome installed from command line. I'm attempting to install Talend Open Studio on the vm, but navigating the website is miserable via vnc.
Has anyone figured a way to apt-get install TalendStudio? I don't think it exists so looking for the closest to it.
You can browse and download TOS to the physical machine as where the VM resides . Then, you could use SCP / SFTP to transfer the TOS file to the VM .
Some VM packages allow sharing a folder between the physical machine and VMs. That would also allow easy transfer of the file to the VM.
How to create a similar to the SandBox environment,That it can virtualise the registry and file table.
You can try using virtual machine software like virtual box, virtual pc, vmware etc. You would install your preferred OS on the virtual setup and create like a restore image. Then you can mess around on that virtual environment and just restore when you need to.
I am planning to get Sharepoint (MOSS) setup on my home development workstation and one of the things I read about using virtualisation (I currently have Vista, need Windows Server) is that you can install VMs with different OS's (eg Vista, Server) or you can run one OS with the ability to do development on Sharepoint/MS CRM etc which is sandboxed (Can't effect the OS).
My pc specs: Intel Quad Core 2.4ghz, 4GB RAM, Vista 32-bit (so I can't see/use all 4gbs).
How is this usually setup?
Thanks
This article has everything you need. It covers essential post-installation tasks such as server configuration.
How to Create a MOSS 2007 VPC Image: The Whole 9 Yards
Just want to point out that there are more problems with 32-bit SharePoint than the fact that you can’t use all your memory. Read this blog post for more info. I guess you are talking about SharePoint 2007, but 2010 is around the corner and its 64-bit only (probably due to the problems described in that blog post). So I'd recommend you to do it properly and set up an x64 environment from the beginning.
Download a virtualization software. Virtual PC, Virtual Server, VMWare Server are popular and free
Install according to the instructions.
Create a virtual machine (it is usually a wizard)
Install a OS and configure manually, or you can download a use an existing virtual hard drive.
Microsoft Offers one you can use.

One option could be to copy an existing virtual image from the company network and run that image at home.
If you don't have any existing images at the company you can create one using the "physical to VM" option in VMware workstation / Virtual server and then clone an existing server.
Remember that you might need to create a library of images if you have to test code on an box with SP1, SP2, June Cumulative and so on.
this post on ServerFault is a nice guide to max the performance of the image.
I would just like to add the following to other great answers:
Use Windows 2008 Hyper-V as your host operating system. In my case it had much better performance than Vista on same machine
In case you plan to develop for SharePoint+CRM there is MS prepared virtual machine with both. Unfortunately it is available on to MBS partners. SharePoint only machine is publicly available. Both machines will expire after 30 days, but just apply your product key and you will prolong it's life for additional year.
I have installed Windows Server 2008 directly on my laptop, so no need for VMs. It's an x64 machine as well. I use SQL server 2008 as well. It's just easier than running VMs and believe me, you need the full 4 GB if you are running Vista. Just install the x64 version of Win2008 on your machine (Standard edition will do. Just use this Google query on how to set up Win 2008 just like Vista and make it the ultimate workstation!
