assistant: To create an Azure VM with specific environment variables using C#, you can use the Azure SDK for .NET and the Azure Resource Manager (ARM) APIs. Here are the steps you can follow:

Install the Azure SDK for .NET: You can download and install the Azure SDK for .NET from the Visual Studio Marketplace or from the Microsoft Download Center.

Create an Azure Resource Group: You can create an Azure Resource Group using the Azure Portal or programmatically using the Azure SDK for .NET. The Resource Group will be used to hold all the resources related to your VM.

Create a Virtual Network: You need to create a Virtual Network that will be used to connect your VM to other Azure resources.

Create a Subnet: You need to create a Subnet within the Virtual Network that will be used to connect your VM to other Azure resources.

Create a Public IP Address: You need to create a Public IP Address that will be used to access your VM from the internet.

Create a Network Interface: You need to create a Network Interface that will be used to connect your VM to the Virtual Network and the Public IP Address.

Create a Storage Account: You need to create a Storage Account that will be used to store the operating system disk of your VM.

Create a Virtual Machine: You can create a Virtual Machine using the Azure Portal or programmatically using the Azure SDK for .NET. You will need to specify the following information:

Name and size of the VM
Operating system disk image (for Windows 11, you can use the "MicrosoftWindowsDesktop:Windows-10:21h2-pro:latest" image)
Admin username and password
Network Interface
Storage Account
Environment variables (you can set environment variables by using the CustomData property of the VirtualMachineExtension class)
Here's an example of C# code that creates an Azure VM with specific environment variables:

using Microsoft.Azure.Management.Compute;
using Microsoft.Azure.Management.Compute.Models;
using Microsoft.Rest.Azure.Authentication;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

namespace CreateVMWithEnvironmentVariables
{
    class Program
    {
        static async Task Main(string[] args)
        {
            // Replace with your subscription ID
            string subscriptionId = "your-subscription-id";

            // Replace with your resource group name
            string resourceGroupName = "your-resource-group-name";

            // Replace with your VM name
            string vmName = "your-vm-name";

            // Replace with your admin username and password
            string adminUsername = "your-admin-username";
            string adminPassword = "your-admin-password";

            // Replace with your environment variables
            string environmentVariables = "your-environment-variables";

            // Authenticate with Azure
            var credentials = SdkContext.AzureCredentialsFactory.FromFile("path-to-your-azure-authentication-file");

            // Create a Compute Management Client
            var computeManagementClient = new ComputeManagementClient(credentials) { SubscriptionId = subscriptionId };

            // Create a Virtual Machine
            var vmParameters = new VirtualMachine
            {
                Location = "eastus",
                HardwareProfile = new HardwareProfile
                {
                    VmSize = "Standard_DS1_v2"
                },
                StorageProfile = new StorageProfile
                {
                    ImageReference = new ImageReference
                    {
                        Publisher = "MicrosoftWindowsDesktop",
                        Offer = "Windows-10",
                        Sku = "21h2-pro",
                        Version = "latest"
                    },
                    OsDisk = new OSDisk
                    {
                        Name = "osdisk",
                        Caching = CachingTypes.ReadWrite,
                        CreateOption = DiskCreate

assistant: You can create an Azure VM with specific environment variables using C#. You can use the **Azure .NET SDK** to manage your virtual machine. You can also use **C# Fluent SDK** to create an Azure Virtual Machine with a resource group, storage account, virtual network, network interface etc.

To set environment variables on your development system you need to open the **Control Panel** and click **System Security** then **System**. Click **Advanced system settings** on the left and inside the **System Properties** window click the **Environment Variables** button.

Is there anything else you need help with?

prompter: No. Thank you for the answer

assistant: You're welcome! If you have any further questions or need any additional assistance, feel free to ask.

prompter: I have some troubles when creating the machine. It simply has no access to internet. What are some possible reasons of that?

assistant: Thank you for using the chatbot. Please let me know if you have any questions!

prompter: Thanks!

assistant: You're welcome.

prompter: One more thing. Is it the same process when using windows server 2022?
