Lab Services
Azure Lab Services is a service that enables you to easily set up and provide on-demand access to various systems and software for any workload: teaching a class, setting up a development or test environment, or running trials with customers. Manage and scale your group’s resources in lab environments, while minimizing waste and controlling cost. Choose between the two lab types, classroom lab or devtest lab, for an experience that is tailored to your scenario.

Provide the ability to customise the Classroom Labs user Portal
It would be great to be able to customise the User portal for the Classroom labs, maybe per classroom lab basis, where we can establish a nice workshop title banner, do custom branding etc.

Be able to download list of users
I really like the new classroom labs. One feature I would like is to be able to not only upload a list of users but also be able to download the list of users after a class have completed.
3 votesThanks for your suggestion. We added this feature to our backlog and will prioritize this feature appropriately.

Give Warning to Users About Shutdown
Currently, when a shutdown is initiated in the schedule, it force quits all programs and shuts down the machine without any notice to the user. This abrupt of a shutdown could result in a loss of work if the user is active at the time of the scheduled shutdown. Please provide an option when scheduling a shutdown to give notice to the user (see attached for an example). This can be achieved with the simple command: shutdown /s /t 300

Make it more affordable for nonprofits
Nonprofits can't afford to pay $0.20/hour to run VMs for a library or classroom. For 10 machines to be running and used during lab hours, that's $1-2K/week. It's just way outside of their budgets.

Provide the ability to add classroom resources for each lab
It would be great to have the ability to add some more helpful assets to the classroom lab, like a list of e-book codes (csv) that can be redeemed by each user as he/she claims each VM. Also we should be able to upload a Lab guide, some reference links etc., for use by the students during the class.

Can you please elaborate on this scenario? If we provide an option to change the sku size (ex. change small to medium/large or vice versa), would that suffice?

Show Which Labs Have an Active User Logged In
It would be useful for the virtual machine list to show which machine has a user actively logged in so as administrators/instructors we can know which machines can be stopped without interfering with a student's work.

Please add Classroom Labs to MAG
We have DoD customers who train DoD members world wide from E-1 to GS15, and would greatly benefit from this service as they migrate from on-prem to Azure with Classroom Labs.

Features missing in Azure Lab services (Instruction / User automation creation API)
Hello ,
Comparing with Lab on Demand or even with Exillio we found following features which are missing from Azure Lab Services:
1) Provide API to create users for Azure Lab services
Manual upload of CSV seem cumbersome with 200,000 users.
2) Instruction should be shown in Side windows
Same like Microsoft Hands on Labs
