Domain name label (if Public IP is provided)

Provide a globally unique domain name label to resolve with the public IP provided above

In case new User Managed Identity is opted then, make sure that the deployment is happening in the same resource group where the Virtual Network is configured, else deployment will fail.

Select the primary server to register the Snapshot Manager server during the deployment.

Primary server FQDN
