There is no option to join domain while spinning up the VM's dynamically.

Feature Request

I have a requirement to spin up the vm's dynamically. This plugin is very useful to do that in azure.
But there is no option to join the vm to the domain. If i write a script to join domain, it requires reboot.
Once VM reboots, the agent goes offline and couldnt able to connect. If you can provide option while spinning up the vm's it would be great. without this feature this plugin wont be useful for me.

Why do you need it domain joined?

Is this for windows or Linux?

Hi, I have a requirement to build the package and process it to the server which is connected to the domain. Also once the package is created I need to push the package to server thru sftp. Those server will not be able to connect without joining to the domain. Most importantly my security team does not allow the vm's to run any production jobs without joining to the domain. Hope this helps. Thanks

I saw this post in one of the support explore portal. My request also the same.

Currently the Azure VM plugin does not support joining the VMs to domains upon creation (only local admins), it would be helpful if we can get this option by default.

On the other hand, attempting to join the VM to domains manually would require joining certain vnets and setting DNS servers for these VMs, but the plugin would then deprovision\delete the VMs upon reboot of the VM, not sure if it was intended behavior from the plugin.

Example logs below:
Feb 25, 2019 4:07:29 PM INFO com.microsoft.azure.vmagent.AzureVMAgent deprovision
AzureVMAgent: deprovision: Deprovision called for agent nodes-tea6e560, for reason: Unknown reason

I don't know enough about this area, and the demand for this seems to be low.

If someone with experience in this area is able to provide a pull request then it will be likely accepted (depending on design).
