Prerequisite - The generalized image VHD should exist, as well as a Storage Account for boot diagnostics
This template allows you to create a Virtual Machine from an unmanaged User image vhd. This template also deploys a Virtual Network, Public IP addresses and a Network Interface.
If you are looking to accomplish the above scenario through PowerShell instead of a template, you can use a PowerShell script like below
## Global
$rgName = "testrg"
$location = "westus"
## Storage
$storageName = "teststore"
$storageType = "Standard_GRS"
## Network
$nicname = "testnic"
$subnet1Name = "subnet1"
$vnetName = "testnet"
$vnetAddressPrefix = "10.0.0.0/16"
$vnetSubnetAddressPrefix = "10.0.0.0/24"
## Compute
$vmName = "testvm"
$computerName = "testcomputer"
$vmSize = "Standard_A2"
$osDiskName = $vmName + "osDisk"
New-AzureRmResourceGroup -Name $rgName -Location $location
$storageacc = New-AzureRmStorageAccount -ResourceGroupName $rgName -Name $storageName -Type $storageType -Location $location
$pip = New-AzureRmPublicIpAddress -Name $nicname -ResourceGroupName $rgName -Location $location -AllocationMethod Dynamic
$subnetconfig = New-AzureRmVirtualNetworkSubnetConfig -Name $subnet1Name -AddressPrefix $vnetSubnetAddressPrefix
$vnet = New-AzureRmVirtualNetwork -Name $vnetName -ResourceGroupName $rgName -Location $location -AddressPrefix $vnetAddressPrefix -Subnet $subnetconfig
$nic = New-AzureRmNetworkInterface -Name $nicname -ResourceGroupName $rgName -Location $location -SubnetId $vnet.Subnets[0].Id -PublicIpAddressId $pip.Id
## Setup local VM object
$cred = Get-Credential
$vm = New-AzureRmVMConfig -VMName $vmName -VMSize $vmSize
$vm = Set-AzureRmVMOperatingSystem -VM $vm -Windows -ComputerName $computerName -Credential $cred -ProvisionVMAgent -EnableAutoUpdate
$vm = Add-AzureRmVMNetworkInterface -VM $vm -Id $nic.Id

$vm = Add-AzureRmVMDataDisk -VM $vm -Name "dd1" -VhdUri $dataDiskUri -SourceImageUri $dataImageUri -Lun 0 -CreateOption fromImage
## Create the VM in Azure
New-AzureRmVM -ResourceGroupName $rgName -Location $location -VM $vm -Verbose
