There must be something I'm missing, but I've generated a virtual machine scale set from a custom image and I'd like to run a web server .exe on all of them.
Is the only option to manually get into each individual instance and run the code? Do I do that through SSH?
This is all very new to me and any help is appreciated
If you deployed it through Azure Resource Manager templates, you can use a CustomScriptExtension to run a Powershell script like in this example template.
If you already have the .exe on your server and you just want it to run whenever the machine starts, I would register it as a Windows service and configure the startup type as Automatic before creating the image.
