## Redeploy VMs

If students are facing difficulties accessing their VM, redeploying the VM may provide a resolution for the issue. Redeploying, unlike resetting, doesn't cause the data on the OS to be lost. When you [redeploy a VM](/azure/virtual-machines/redeploy-to-new-node-windows), Azure Lab Services will shut down the VM, move it to a new host, and restart it. You can think of it as a refresh of the underlying VM for the student’s machine. The student doesn’t need to re-register to the lab or do any other action. Any data you saved in the OS disk (usually C: drive) of the VM will still be available after the redeploy operation. Anything saved on the temporary disk (usually D: drive) will be lost.

## Connect to VMs

5253
Instructors can connect to a student VM as long as it's turned on. Verify the student is *not* connected to the VM first. By connecting to the VM, you can access local files on the VM and help students troubleshoot issues.
5354

5455
To connect to the student VM, hover the mouse on the VM in the list and select the **Connect** button. For further instructions based on the operating system you're using, see [Connect to the VM](tutorial-connect-lab-virtual-machine.md).
