Get-AzureStorageAccount 

<# Step 5: Input the subscription 'Name' again and the 'StorageAccountName' from the output of the previous step
when the VM gets created it will use that Azure Storage account #>
$sortageAccountName = "portalxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" 
Set-AzureSubscription -SubscriptionName $subscriptionName -CurrentStorageAccount $sortageAccountName

<# Step 6: Create a reserved/static IP for your VM - input the name/label and the region your VM will be in #>
$reservedIPName = "CRMIP"
$reservedIPLabel = "CRMIP"
$location = “North Central US” 
New-AzureReservedIP –ReservedIPName $reservedIPName –Label $reservedIPLabel –Location $location
<# Use this to remove the reserved IP if you end up not needing it #>
<# Remove-AzureReservedIP -ReservedIPName "CRMIP" -Force# >
<# Show the list of reserved IP addresses if you are interested #>
<# Get-AzureReservedIP #>

<# Step 7: Run this to output the list of Azure VM images to base the server on, Windows Server 2012 R2 for example #>
$images = Get-AzureVMImage
$images | where {$_.Label -like 'windows server 2012 r2*'} | select Label, RecommendedVMSize, PublishedDate | Format-Table -AutoSize
