+# Manage SCVMM VMs in Azure through Arc-enabled SCVMM
+
+In this article, you learn how to perform various operations on the Azure Arc-enabled SCVMM VMs such as:
+
+- Start, stop, and restart a VM
+
+- Control access and add Azure tags
+
+- Add, remove, and update network interfaces
+
+- Add, remove, and update disks and update VM size (CPU cores, memory)
+
+- Enable guest management
+
+- Install extensions (enabling guest management is required). All the [extensions](../servers/manage-vm-extensions.md#extensions) that are available with Arc-enabled Servers are supported.
+

+
+To perform guest OS operations on Arc-enabled SCVMM VMs, you must enable guest management on the VMs. When you enable guest management, the Arc Connected Machine Agent is installed on the VM.
+
+## Enable guest management
+
+Before you can install an extension, you must enable guest management on the SCVMM VM.  
+
+1. Make sure your target machine:
+
+   - is running a [supported operating system](../servers/prerequisites.md#supported-operating-systems).
+
+   - can connect through the firewall to communicate over the internet and [these URLs](../servers/network-requirements.md#urls) aren't blocked.
+
+   - has SCVMM tools installed and running.
+
+   - is powered on and the resource bridge has network connectivity to the host running the VM.
+
+1. From your browser, go to the [Azure portal](https://portal.azure.com).
+
+2. Search for and select the SCVMM VM for which you want to enable guest management and select **Configuration**.
+
+3. Select **Enable guest management** and provide the administrator username and password to enable guest management.  Then select **Apply**.
+
+For Linux, use the root account, and for Windows, use an account that is a member of the Local Administrators group.
+
+>[!Note]
+>You can install Arc agents at scale on Arc-enabled SCVMM VMs through Azure Portal only if you are running: 
+>- SCVMM 2022 UR1 or later versions of SCVMM server and console
+>- SCVMM 2019 UR5 or later versions of SCVMM server and console
+>- VMs running Windows Server 2012 R2, 2016, 2019, 2022, Windows 10, and Windows 11 <br>
+> For other SCVMM versions, Linux VMs, or Windows VMs running WS 2012 or earlier, [install Arc agents through the script](./install-arc-agents-using-script.md).
+
+## Delete a VM
+
+If you no longer need the VM, you can delete it.
+
+1. From your browser, go to the [Azure portal](https://portal.azure.com).
+
+2. Search for and select the VM you want to delete.
+
+3. In the selected VM's Overview page, select **Delete**.
+
+4. When prompted, confirm that you want to delete it.
+
+>[!NOTE]
+>This also deletes the VM on your SCVMM managed on-premises host.
+
+## Next steps
+
+[Create a Virtual Machine on SCVMM managed on-premises hosts](./create-virtual-machine.md).
