Prerequisites

For running this lab you will need:

• An MCAPS subscription with access to Microsoft Foundry. External MCAPS subscriptions are preferred, though internal MCAPS subscriptions should work as well. Microsoft EMU accounts will not have sufficient privileges to perform all of the actions necessary.
• A desktop, laptop, or virtual machine and access to install software on that machine.
