  1. I have created a VM of Windows Server 2022 Datacenter Azure Edition x64 bit in Central US.
  2. I have installed the IIS Web Server while provisioning the VM itself by selecting the custom script extension at Advanced Menu:

  1. I have selected the PowerShell script stored in the Storage account container.
import-module servermanager
add-windowsfeature web-server -includeallsubfeature
add-windowsfeature Web-Asp-Net45
add-windowsfeature NET-Framework-Features

  1. Enabled the Ports Http (80), Https (443), and RDP (3389). There is no proxy.

  2. When I Open the RDP Client:

In other 2 VMs created in Same VNet and of Same OS Same IIS Web server PS Script installed using Custom script extension while provisioning the VMs, able to get the Windows GUI through RDP:

Note:

  1. I have also done the same process in 3 VMs created in the Same Virtual Network, with the Same Custom Script Extension selected that installs IIS Web Server but only one of them is not working in the RDP Client (VM GUI Desktop is not showing other than SConfig command prompt).

  2. Deleted all the 3 VMs and created again to check if any fault of mine while creating the VMs but same result.

  3. In the VM Index Menu > Run Command > I have run the command Set-SConfig -AutoLaunch $False. Still, same Command prompt occurring instead of Windows Desktop GUI.

In Short:

  1. Windows 2022 Data center Azure Edition
  2. All 3 VMs in same virtual network
  3. All 3 VMs in same availability set
  4. All VM's are installed with IIS Web Server while provisioning using Custom Script Extension in the Advanced Menu of VM Creation. (That Script details given above).
  5. Location (optional) - Central US
  6. Enabled the Ports 80, 443 and 3389 while creating the VMs.

Can you open a PowerShell or CMD prompt and provide the output of the following command for each: wmic os get caption, OperatingSystemSKU, Version, BuildNumber, OSProductSuite – Greg Askew

wmic os get caption - Microsoft Windows Server 2022 Datacenter Azure Edition OS Version - Najor - 10, Minor - 0, Build - 20348, Revision - 0

Please add what you are expecting instead. The screenshot you provided seems completely normal.

I don't see OperatingSystemSKU, and there is only one entry, not two.

It is not the same OS - not the same version at least. SConfig is the default screen coming up on the CORE version, the other 2 seem not to be core but to be the GUI versions. Here basically you end up on a "real" desktop.

Only logical conclusion is that they were created from different OS images. Simple like that.

@hasher: Seems they are not, otherwise you would have included screenshots of both that show the same OperatingSystemSKU from supplied command at the command prompt. Also `dism /Online /Get-CurrentEdition`

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
