在多个Azure VM上以管理员身份运行计划的任务

Question

I am running an Azure Windows VM which runs a batch file when it starts (its started from Task Scheduler).

The batch file cannot be started as SYSTEM and needs to be run as a user, so I use the VM administrator. In Task Scheduler this user shows as \\. This all works fine.

My question is though - I want to be able to run many of these VMs by making a VHD of the existing VM then creating more VMs (perhaps in a ScaleSet) from that VHD.

The script needs to be run when the VM is first started AND if it is ever rebooted.

I assume though that when I do this, my start-up script will break as the MACHINE_NAME will be different for each VM.

What is a good solution for this problem?

Answer 1

if it started from task schedular and is a batch job, you can move it to webjobs too and schedule there. and then create as many webjobs to want of the same batch file. no need to create and maintain VMs
