My PowerShell scripts to encrypt Azure VM disks

This is my steps that I took from this very long document.

First we need to create a Key vault and then an AAD application, then you connect them. Make note of the output of $aadClientID.

$KeyVaultName="YourName-EastUS"
$ResourceGroupName="Default-EastUS"
$Location="East US"


#Create New KeyVault
New-AzureRmKeyVault -VaultName $KeyVaultName -ResourceGroupName $ResourceGroupName -Location $Location

#Create New AAD Application
$aadClientSecret = "YourLongSecret"
$azureAdApplication = New-AzureRmADApplication -DisplayName "Encryption-EastUS" -HomePage "https://IThinkAnythingCanGoHere" -IdentifierUris "https://IThinkAnythingCanGoHereURi" -Password $aadClientSecret
$servicePrincipal = New-AzureRmADServicePrincipal -ApplicationId $azureAdApplication.ApplicationId
$aadClientID = $azureAdApplication.ApplicationId
$aadClientID
Set-AzureRmKeyVaultAccessPolicy -VaultName $KeyVaultName -ServicePrincipalName $aadClientID -PermissionsToKeys all -PermissionsToSecrets all -ResourceGroupName $ResourceGroupName;
Set-AzureRmKeyVaultAccessPolicy -VaultName $KeyVaultName -EnabledForDiskEncryption

Once that is setup, you can encrypt a VM:

$KeyVaultName="YourName-EastUS"
$ResourceGroupName="Default-EastUS"
$Location="East US"
$vmName="VMNAME"

$aadClientSecret = "YourLongSecret"
$aadClientID = "YouMadeNoteOfThisAbove"
$KeyVault = Get-AzureRmKeyVault -VaultName $KeyVaultName -ResourceGroupName $ResourceGroupName;
$diskEncryptionKeyVaultUrl = $KeyVault.VaultUri;
$KeyVaultResourceId = $KeyVault.ResourceId;

Set-AzureRmVMDiskEncryptionExtension -ResourceGroupName $ResourceGroupName -VMName $vmName -AadClientID $aadClientID -AadClientSecret $aadClientSecret -DiskEncryptionKeyVaultUrl $diskEncryptionKeyVaultUrl -DiskEncryptionKeyVaultId $KeyVaultResourceId;

If you did not make note of your aadClientID, then you run:

get-AzureRmADApplication

And the ApplicationId is what you are looking for.

I forgot how I set this up, so I went back and made some notes, and now I hope this helps someone.
