Restore Azure ARM Virtual Machine with Special Configuration - TSLS

Below is a handy script for restoring a VM with Special Configuration

Please Note: this will only work where the VM still exists in the Azure. this process would be used to recover the VM from a previous day or if became corrupt. If the VM completely disappeared then additional steps will be required to manually recreate Availability Sets and NICs.

This script focus on restore NIC, ILB, Availability Sets , OMS, Diagnostic Settings and Antimalware
