Bulk-Adding Endpoints to an Azure VM

I had to create a large number of EndPoints for an Azure VM.

Here's the powershell script I used. HTH.

Add-AzureAccount

(and then enter your username/password in the 'popup' box)

then create a powershell file .. eg. addEndPoints.ps1

Select-AzureSubscription -SubscriptionName "----------"
$vm = Get-AzureVM -ServiceName "service-name-here" -Name "vm-name-here"
$startEndPoint = 62000
$endEndPointRange = 100
for ($i=1; $i -lt $endEndPointRange; $i++)
{
    $EndpointName = "FTP Data "
    $EndpointName += $i
    $localPort = $startEndPoint + $i
#Write-Output $EndpointName 
#Write-Output $localPort 
    Add-AzureEndpoint -Name $EndpointName -Protocol "tcp" -PublicPort $localPort  -LocalPort $localPort  -VM $vm
}
$vm | Update-AzureVM

To find out which subscription to use, type

Get-AzureSubscription

To find out the VM's Service Name and VM's Name, type

Get-AzureVM

after you've added your account AND selected your subscription. (That lists all the vm's for a subscription).

This script was heavily based upon this answer from my StackOverflow question.
