Build Domain Controller with AD Tenant in 60 minutes - Azure

 “Infrastructure as code” true power of Microsoft Azure Cloud. Here I sketched a single file use to Install a domain controller in Microsoft Azure with provision of an Azure AD Tenant. You need to define all parameters first. All AD Groups, AD Test users, AD Members and AD OUs are present in attached .csv files. I passed the example parameters in script. Script will do following in sequence shown below based on your parameters
·        Storage Account
·        Virtual Network and Subnet
·        Cloud Service
·        Virtual Machine
·        Domain and Tenant

Since i am in New Zealand so, i mentioned my closest Microsoft data center location "Australia East" in script everywhere. Place all files in one folder for example in my case all files residing at location in folder C:\DC\
DC is folder name here, all files with given below names are attached
