    Hello,

    Can you check with this script please?

    $VHDName = "VHD-WIN2K12R2.vhd"
$FamilyName = "Windows Server 2012 DataCenter"
$Release = "1.0.0.0"
$AVMAKey = "Y4TGP-NPTV9-HTC2H-7MGQ3-DV4TW"
$LibraryServer = "SCVMM-LAB.domain.local"
$MyVHDX = Get-SCVirtualHardDisk | where {($_.Name –eq $VHDName) -and ($_.LibraryServer -eq $LibraryServer)}
$2K12DC = Get-SCOperatingSystem | where { $_.name –eq '64-bit edition of Windows Server 2012 Datacenter'}
$tags = $myVHD.Tag
if ( $tags -cnotcontains "WindowsServer2012" ) { $tags += @("WindowsServer2012") }
if ( $tags -cnotcontains "R2" ) { $tags += @("R2") }
Set-scvirtualharddisk –virtualharddisk $myVHDX `
                      –OperatingSystem $2K12DC `
                      -FamilyName $FamilyName `
                      -Release $Release `
                      -Tag $tags `
                      -ProductKey $AVMAKey

    If you want to have different version, you need to have multiple VHD. 

    To create a custom gallery item, you can do it with following resources:

    Ok. You need to add another tag, with the value "R2" (without "").

    Here is the link with the VMRole and the documentation:

    Only thing is that we could not able to add 2 tags in vhd, the below command gives an error

    Please correct 

    $myVHD = Get-SCVirtualHardDisk -Name "VHD-WIN2K12R2.vhd"

    $tags = $myVHD.Tag

    if ( $tags -cnotcontains "WindowsServer2012R2" ) { $tags += @("WindowsServer2012") }

    Set-scvirtualharddisk –virtualharddisk $myVHD –Tag 'WindowsServer2012','R2'

    Try with this:

    $myVHD = Get-SCVirtualHardDisk -Name "VHD-WIN2K12R2.vhd"
$tags = $myVHD.Tag
if ( $tags -cnotcontains "WindowsServer2012R2" ) { $tags += @("WindowsServer2012") }
if ( $tags -cnotcontains "R2" ) { $otags += @("R2") }
Set-scvirtualharddisk –virtualharddisk $myVHD –Tag $tags

    Be sure to have the good family name and operating system too (can be done through graphical interface)

    Hi Florent,

    Good Day!!!, 

    Thank you So much, it works well and now could able to see OS disk in the Gallery and we are done crating Data Disk As well.

    Now we could able to provision Virtual Machine using VM Role Gallery Option successfully in Windows Azure Pack.

    Thank you Very much..you guidance is helpful for me..thanks to forum guidance team.

    Also I have some query, could you please help me on that as well.

    1.In the Script You have mentioned MAK Key, so we need to use MAK for All Windows Machine Activation or we need to use KMS Server.

    2. For Client version of Operating Systems  also we need to use MAK or KMS

    3.How can we add Multiple Ethernet card to VM in Azure Pack?

    4. With the above script I have updated tags into both VHD[1.0.0.1] & VHDX[1.0.0.1] file with different release version  but Tag will be the same {WindowsServer2012, R2}...in this Tag is the important item when import gallery in WAP 

    5. Can you share some idea about how to create VM Template for Redhat / CentOS /Ubuntu Operating Systems{Blog / guide doc}

    6.If we want to use this IaaS set up for PaaS means what are the other component are required

    7.In WAP without Grid pro third party can we able to create approval process for tenant

    thanks again florent, we are waiting for your reply.

    thanks

    Perfect :)

    Following answers of your questions:

    1.In the Script You have mentioned MAK Key, so we need to use MAK for All Windows Machine Activation or we need to use KMS Server. 
    => No, you can use any key, it was just an example
    2. For Client version of Operating Systems  also we need to use MAK or KMS
    => Same as the 1st answer
    3.How can we add Multiple Ethernet card to VM in Azure Pack?
    => You need to shutdown your VM and go in the Configure tab
    4. With the above script I have updated tags into both VHD[1.0.0.1] & VHDX[1.0.0.1] file with different release version  but Tag will be the same {WindowsServer2012, R2}...in this Tag is the important item when import gallery in WAP 
    => Yes, if you don't have same tags thanin the defpkg file, you will not see your VHD/VHDX
    5. Can you share some idea about how to create VM Template for Redhat / CentOS /Ubuntu Operating Systems{Blog / guide doc}
    => Mmmh, I have no idea now, but on google, you will be able to find this
    6.If we want to use this IaaS set up for PaaS means what are the other component are required
    => Yes for PaaS, you need to install the WebSites architecture and for DBaaS, it's already included
    7.In WAP without Grid pro third party can we able to create approval process for tenant
    => Not possible
