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](/troubleshoot/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.
