Stop the VM
A VHD can’t be downloaded from Azure if it's attached to a running VM. You need to stop the VM to download a VHD. If you want to use a VHD as an image to create other VMs with new disks, you use Sysprep to generalize the operating system contained in the file and then stop the VM. To use the VHD as a disk for a new instance of an existing VM or data disk, you only need to stop and deallocate the VM.
To use the VHD as an image to create other VMs, complete these steps:
- If you haven't already done so, sign in to the Azure portal.
- Connect to the VM.
- On the VM, open the Command Prompt window as an administrator.
- Change the directory to %windir%system32sysprep and run sysprep.exe.
- In the System Preparation Tool dialog box, select Enter System Out-of-Box Experience (OOBE), and make sure that Generalize is selected.
- In Shutdown Options, select Shutdown, and then click OK.
To use the VHD as a disk for a new instance of an existing VM or data disk, complete these steps:
- On the Hub menu in the Azure portal, click Virtual Machines.
- Select the VM from the list.
- On the blade for the VM, click Stop.
Generate SAS URL
To download the VHD file, you need to generate a shared access signature (SAS) URL. When the URL is generated, an expiration time is assigned to the URL.
- On the menu of the blade for the VM, click Disks.
- Select the operating system disk for the VM, and then click Disk Export.
- Set the expiration time of the URL to 36000.
- Click Generate URL.

Note
The expiration time is increased from the default to provide enough time to download the large VHD file for a Windows Server operating system. You can expect a VHD file that contains the Windows Server operating system to take several hours to download depending on your connection. If you are downloading a VHD for a data disk, the default time is sufficient.
