There are other approaches to customizing your session hosts, such as using device management tools like [Microsoft Endpoint Manager](/mem/intune/fundamentals/azure-virtual-desktop-multi-session) or automating your image build using tools like [Azure Image Builder](../virtual-machines/windows/image-builder-virtual-desktop.md) with [Azure DevOps](/azure/devops/pipelines/get-started/key-pipelines-concepts?view=azure-devops&preserve-view=true). Which strategy works best depends on the complexity and size of your planned Azure Virtual Desktop environment and your current application deployment processes.

## Create an image from an Azure VM
1414
When creating a new VM for your golden image, make sure to choose an OS that's in the list of [supported virtual machine OS images](prerequisites.md#operating-systems-and-licenses). We recommend using a Windows 10 multi-session (with or without Microsoft 365) or Windows Server image for pooled host pools. We recommend using Windows 10 Enterprise images for personal host pools. You can use either Generation 1 or Generation 2 VMs; Gen 2 VMs support features that aren't supported for Gen 1 machines. Learn more about Generation 1 and Generation 2 VMs at [Support for generation 2 VMs on Azure](../virtual-machines/generation-2.md).

> The VM used for taking the image must be deployed without "Login with Azure AD" flag. During the deployment of Session Hosts in Azure Virtual Desktop, if you choose to add VMs to Azure Active Directory you are able to Login with AD Credentials too.

### Take your first snapshot
1618
First, [create the base VM](../virtual-machines/windows/quick-create-portal.md) for your chosen image. After you've deployed the image, take a snapshot of the disk of your image VM. Snapshots are save states that will let you roll back any changes if you run into problems while building the image. Since you'll be taking many snapshots throughout the build process, make sure to give the snapshot a name you can easily identify.
