Windows 11 SKU’s for Automation

by

Need to upgrade your Windows 11 Sku’s in your automation like Packer, Azure Image Builder or manual Bicep/ARM Templates? Use these tables below in order to find the correct information for your scripts.

I will list the Windows 11 SKU’s for these versions:

  • Windows 11 PRO ZH-CN – Gen2
  • Windows 11 PRO N – Gen2
  • Windows 11 PRO – Gen2
  • Windows 11 Enterprise N – Gen2
  • Windows 11 Enterprise multi-session – Gen2
  • Windows 11 Enterprise – Gen2

Windows 11 SKU Tables

Windows 11 PRO ZH-CN – Gen2

Windows 11 PRO – Gen2

Windows 11 Enterprise N – Gen2

SKU win11-21h2-avd

Windows 11 Enterprise – Gen2

You might ask yourself, how can I find the sku’s myself?

I first tried Powershell, but this did not give me the feedback I wanted. Because, at this time of writing, the feedback from this command is:

Windows 11 SKU's for Automation - Powershell command


I use the Azure portal in order the find the correct SKU.

Let me show you.

When you create a Virtual Machine, at the “review and create” stage, you can click on “Download a template for automation”

After that, you will find the image sku’s:

And that’s how you find the Windows 11 SKU’s for Automation.

After the comment from Tom Hickling I have added the following. If you run this code:

Get-AzVMImageSku -Location westeurope -PublisherName MicrosoftWindowsDesktop -Offer windows-11 | Select Skus

This the result:
