Creating a new Virtual machine.]][[Image:Ops705_lab2_fig5.png|thumb|right|250px|Figure 3. A partial view of the ''Basics'' tab on the VM creation page.]]
To create your Windows Server 2016 Virtual machine, perform the following steps:
# Navigate to ''DevTest Labs > OPS705 > My virtual machines''
# ''Password'': Your choice, but use the same for all VMs and resources in this course.
# ''Save as default password:'' Checked.
# ''Virtual machine size:'' Standard_B2ms
# Leave the remaining options as they are.
# Click on the '''Create''' button at the bottom of the screen.
== Part 2: Accessing Your Windows VM Remotely Using RDP ==

In this section, we'll discover how to remotely connect to the Windows Server's desktop environment over the Internet from your computer.
# In the ''Overview'' tab for the Virtual Machine created in Part 1, look for the '''IP address or FQDN''' entry. This is the address you will use to connect later in this section. Write it down (Hover over the URL, and you'll see a ''Copy to clipboard'' icon).
== Part 3: Shutting Down Windows Safely ==

This section is fairly simple. Whenever possible,''always'' shut down your VMs properly. Don't automatically go to the Azure VM Overview and click '''Stop'''. This is how you lose data and corrupt systems.
# Remotely connect to the Windows Server desktop (if you haven't already).
== Part 1: Creating A CentOS VM From An Image ==

To create your CentOS VM, follow the steps from ''Investigation 1, Part 1'', but with the following settings:
== Part 2: Accessing Your CentOS VM Remotely Using SSH ==

We will be accessing our new Linux VM remotely using SSH, which is a command-line (CLI) only protocol. We'll be diving into CLI in more detail during our next lab.
