I am using ansible hosted on linux to manage both Linux and windows VMs hosted on azure, and use azure xplat-cli commandline to create VMs. When i create windows server 2008, I need to trigger few startup scripts so that those are preconfigured while windows server is up. I was able to install CustomScript extension using below command

# azure vm extension set

I have uploaded my scripts to azure blob storage account, and i need to trigger scripts using the extension, and i don’t find any proper documentation (documentation was only for powershell). Can you please help

Hi satheesh,  
Your question is outside Ansible, so I think you’ll have better luck at either the Azure forums or Serverfaul ([http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/support/forums/](http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/support/forums/))
