We have 500 MSI packages that we are moving to Windows 10. We intend to run Windows 10 compatibility and MSIX suitability tests on all these packages. We want to automate this process, so any packages that are considered suitable for MSIX packaging are automatically converted to MSIX. Our packaging environment will be located in Azure DevTest Labs and manual packaging will be done on Azure VMs. As the Automated Application converter does not work with Azure VMs, we are planning to provision a server in Azure DevTest Labs that supports Nested Hyper-V. Once Nested Hyper-V has been configured we will build VMs within the Hyper-V environment. These will consist of a Windows 10 VM with AdminStudio Enterprise Edition installed, and 2 (or potentially more) clean Windows 10 VMs to support the MSIX conversion process. With the limited testing that I have done so far with MSIX suitability testing, the 2 MSIs I have tested have come back with a Yellow, Maybe, Status. What I want to be able to do is run the MSIX conversion anyway, even though the package doesn’t get a Green status. That way we can test the resultant MSIX file for functionality. Would I need to use Powershell to do this or can this be configured from within the Automatic Application Converter GUI? ... View more

So using Hyper-V with Azure and using multiple VM's hosted in Hyper-V we need to know which protocols or ports are used as we will need to open the firewall on the devices so that they can talk to each other. ... View more

Currently we have Azure as our cloud solution and as per previous comments from Flexera have been told we can create our Hyper-V server via Azure.  Once we have Hyper-V we will installed AdminStudio on one VM then use other VMs to be used for creating packages and snapshots. ... View more

Thanks, would it be supported if I use Hyper-V through Azure ?
