Azure-quickstart-templates: [101-vm-from-user-image] Error "template parameters 'userImageStorageAccountName, userImageStorageAccountResourceGroupName' in the parameters file are not valid ... they are not present in the original template and can therefore not be provided at deployment time"

####[101-vm-from-user-image] (https://github.com/Azure/azure-quickstart-templates/tree/master/101-vm-from-user-image)

Issue Details

The parameters userImageStorageAccountName and userImageStorageAccountResourceGroupName are in the template parameters file but not the template file, so if you don't specify them, it fails like this:

New-AzureRmResourceGroupDeployment -resourceGroupName 'clwestus2' -TemplateParameterUri 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Azure/azure-quickstart-templates/master/101-vm-from-user-image/azuredeploy.parameters.json' -TemplateUri 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Azure/azure-quickstart-templates/master/101-vm-from-user-image/azuredeploy.json' -customVmName 'CL2008R2VM1' -adminUsername 'craig' -adminPassword $passwordSecureString -osDiskVhdUri 'https://clwestus2.blob.core.windows.net/vhds/GeneralizedUnpatched2008R2SP1.vhd' -dnsLabelPrefix 'CL2008R2VM1' -osType 'Windows' -vmSize 'Standard_A1_v2' -newOrExistingVnet 'existing' -newOrExistingVnetName 'clwestus2-vnet' -newOrExistingSubnetName 'default' -existingVnetResourceGroupName 'clwestus2'

@craiglandis as a quick workaround, delete userImageStorageAccountName and userImageStorageAccountResourceGroupName parameters from the azuredeploy.parameters.json file (Line# 8 - 13) and give a try. I checked the azuredeploy.json file and the above parameters are not used.

Anybody else think this is odd? Why not just skip passed the unused parameters?

[lbyxiafei]

So weird. I want one parameter file for all templates. In this case, how I do the refactor?
