Tools for using Azure and Azure Stack
To use these tools, obtain Azure Stack compatible Azure PowerShell module. Unless you've installed from other sources, one way to do it is to obtain from public package repositories as follows. Note that both of these could still be used to operate against Azure as well as Azure Stack, but may lack some of the latest Azure features.
For PowerShell, install the following:
For Azure Stack 1904 to 1907
Install the AzureRM.BootStrapper module. Select Yes when prompted to install NuGet Install-Module -Name AzureRM.BootStrapper
Install and import the API Version Profile required by Azure Stack into the current PowerShell session. Use-AzureRmProfile -Profile 2019-03-01-hybrid -Force Install-Module -Name AzureStack -RequiredVersion 1.7.2
For Azure stack 1901 to 1903
Install-Module -Name AzureRM -RequiredVersion 2.4.0
Install-Module -Name AzureStack -RequiredVersion 1.7.1
For all other azure stack versions, please follow the instructions at https://aka.ms/azspsh for the needed azure powershell
Obtain the tools by cloning the git repository.
# For Azure Stack builds/releases 1811 and later:
git clone https://github.com/Azure/AzureStack-Tools.git --recursive
cd AzureStack-Tools
# For Azure Stack builds/releases prior to 1811:
git clone --branch PRE-1811 https://github.com/Azure/AzureStack-Tools --recursive
cd AzureStack-Tools
Otherwise download the tools as follows:
# For Azure Stack builds/releases 1811 and later:
[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12
invoke-webrequest https://github.com/Azure/AzureStack-Tools/archive/master.zip -OutFile master.zip

|---|---|
| Windows\Panther\FastCleanup\setupact.log | Primary log file for most errors that occur during the Windows installation process. There are several instances of the Setupact.log file, depending on what point in the installation process the failure occurs. It is important to know which version of the Setupact.log file to look at, based on the phase you are in. |
| Windows\Panther\UnattendGC\setupact.log | High-level list of errors that occurred during the specialize phase of Setup. The Setuperr.log file does not provide any specific details. |
| Windows\Panther\WaSetup.log | Windows Setup includes the ability to review the Windows Setup performance events in the Windows Event Log viewer. This enables you to more easily review the actions that occurred during Windows Setup and to review the performance statistics for different parts of Windows Setup |
