# AZ Get Console Screenshot

This script captures a screenshot of the current state of the selected Azure virtual machine and saves it to a folder on the console machine.   

## Run the Script
When you run the **AZ Get console screenshot** script, you need to provide the following input parameters:

**Screenshot Folder**. The local path where the screenshot should be saved. 
**Screenshot File**. The file name of the screenshot. As an extension, we recommend to use *.jpg or *.png.

Using our example, we want to save the screenshot as test.png to the C:\tmp folder on the console machine. To do so, you need to provide the following information:
![Command line arguments settings for the AZ Get console screenshot script. Screenshot folder is set to C:\tmp. Screenshot File is set to test.png.](https://cdn.document360.io/098100b7-b9da-4bea-b4b9-017140ab863e/Images/Documentation/0_TakeInputParametersForScreenshotCapture.jpg){height="" width=""}

The output message in the Powershell console confirms that the screenshot was saved successfully.
![Script output displaing that the screenshot was saved ok.](https://cdn.document360.io/098100b7-b9da-4bea-b4b9-017140ab863e/Images/Documentation/2_SuccessfulSave.jpg){height="" width=""}

Opening the screenshot will provide you the state of the virtual machine at script runtime.
