+.DESCRIPTION
+
+This sample demonstrates how to create a Managed Disk from a VHD file. 
+Create Managed Disks from VHD files in following scenarios:
+1. Create a Managed OS Disk from a specialized VHD file. A specialized VHD is a copy of VHD from an exisitng VM that maintains the user accounts, applications and other state data from your original VM. 
+   Attach this Managed Disk as OS disk to create a new virtual machine.
+2. Create a Managed data Disk from a VHD file. Attach the Managed Disk to an existing VM or attach it as data disk to create a new virtual machine.
+
+.NOTES
+
+1. Before you use this sample, please install the latest version of Azure PowerShell from here: http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9811175&clcid=0x409
+2. Provide the appropriate values for each variable. Note: The angled brackets should not be included in the values you provide.
