Fix transcript log path for users that don't yet have the Az modules installed.

Describe the bug
The current transcript directory is based on the presence of the Az modules at "C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\Az", however, for users who don't already have the Az modules installed, the transcript directory path will not resolve and therefore an error will be generated. Also, a transcript won't be created to log the script activities.

Change student number range to enforce two digits.

Describe the bug
Currently, cloud administrators are prompted to enter a two digit student number from 1-16. If the entry is a single digit number, i.e. 1-9, then the student number will not be accepted.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to '...'
2. Click on '....'
3. Scroll down to '....'
4. See error

Expected behavior
The student number should be accepted.

Screenshots
If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• PowerShell: version 5.1

Additional context
There are certain resources that cannot be created with just a single digit number or accept a padded single digit number, like 1 padded to 01. Therefore, the fix will involve shifting the range of accepted student numbers from 10-26.

VM has reported a failure when processing extension 'joindomain'

Describe the bug
There is a 20 minute timeout for the domain join extension and if there is a large volume of resources that the Azure Resource Manager is processing, this may prevent the extension from properly installing. See: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/extensions/features-windows#troubleshoot-vm-extensions

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
These errors are generated when executing the script as such:
. .\Deploy-AzureResourceGroup.ps1

Expected behavior
The domain join operation would complete as expected for all VMs, but in this case, only a few were not able to join the domain.

Check for AzureRM module in favor of Az due to ParametersException.

#6cfc08c As of 24 FEB 2019, when using the new Az modules, an error stating that the https: drive cannot be mapped is generated. It seems that the New-AzResourceGroupDeployment cmdlet will incorrectly interpret the 'https:' part of $templateUri = 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/autocloudarc/0026-azure-automation-plus-dsc-lab/master/azuredeploy.json' as a PSDrive instead of as part of a URL. As a workaround I committed the #6cfc08c change to use the original AzureRM Cmdlet instead, New-AzureRmResourceGroupDeployment (not the aliased version that points to New-AzResourceGroupDeployment).

The error condition that was generated on 24 FEB 2019 is:

`New-AzResourceGroupDeployment : Cannot retrieve the dynamic parameters for the cmdlet. Cannot find drive. A drive with the name 'https' does not exist.

AZ CLI Feedback

I just wanted to provide two minor comments on the AZ CLI script. First I would recommend adding a comment on the last line for the AZ group deployment to be careful on the copy and pasting with multi-line (more of an issues when using WSL), secondly there is a typo in that command line: "studentRadnomInfix=$studentRandomInfix", with the parameter name was typo.

Allow admins to select optional workloads to reduce cost of deployment

On behalf of: @Rahul_Mahajan

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
A clear and concise description of what the problem is. Ex. I'm always frustrated when [...]

1) Current constraint to use this automation is the cost if any admin want to test it, as it includes 9 VMs and other things
2) This 9 VMs are rarely required for basic testing

Describe the solution you'd like
A clear and concise description of what you want to happen.
Suggestion :
1) VM required for testing (AD and Jumpbox mandatory) - SQL, Web, Linux, PKI - In this user will select whatever service is required to test and proceed to the next step. (Here not all services are required by all so you can allow to choose which service he can select- multiple selection)
2) You add the option in script "Availability Set Required" = Yes/No If yes it will continue with 2 VMs in each service as current automation and if No then it will create 1 VM each service which is requested by user.

Describe alternatives you've considered
A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered.

Additional context

This change will really help a lot from cost perspective which will allow users for easy implementation and testing without any worries.
Thanks again for this great automation, this is just a suggestion :)
