virtualmachines | Virtual machines used for testing students

It would help to know some of the regular expressions you've tried so we don't repeat them.

Have you tried the spath command to parse the JSON?

Perhaps this rex command will help

I figured it out myself, and the answer is that...

You need \"\" around .

A user can type in anything in Read-Host..
To remove the fluff, do something like

This behavior seems to be poorly documented, but from the documentation page for the Windows custom script extension:

The name of the resource has to be in the format virtualMachineName/extensionName, if this extension is used as a standalone resource in the Azure Resource Manager template.

Which seems to imply that the resolution for where the custom script extension should be executed is based on the name. I imagine this is the case for Linux VMs too.

For the particular example that you are looking at, the name of one of the vms is:

So I had two issues in this script, both found by setting $DebugPreference to 'Continue'

1. The Alert Rule had a % symbol in it, which for URL reasons cannot complete the API call

2. After correcting that, I got this

I figured it out!

I was working off the wrong assumption here. Instead of configuring the VM generation/HyperVGeneration to V2, somehow using a gen2 image sku to base the OS disk off of, automatically configures the VM generation to V2 as well. It also doesn't help the fact that MS calls the same thing by multiple names: VM generation, HyperV generation, image generation.

Anyway the solution is to actually look up all available images which can be installed and pick the correct one from there. To get available images for your region:

Here is how I could able to retrieve virtual machine instance name and resource group using KQL Query.

I tested your code for a newly created VM with 2 Data Disks and it was the same for me as well , If I keep "Volume: ALL" then also only OS Disk get ADE enabled and not the data disks if I verify from portal or Azure CLI.

Solution for it will be as below :

Please make sure that the attached data disks are added as volumes and are formatted from within the VM before adding the extension from Terraform.

Once the above is done and you do a terraform apply to your code , After successful apply it will reflect on Portal and as well as inside the VM.

Instead of passing your app registration applicationId/objectId you need to pass the service principal/appregistration name when you are trying to assign a particular role like virtualmachinecontributor to your Service principal as show in below.

• Post providing the required access to the service principal/appregistration you will be able to pull the list of virtual machines in your subscription. we have checked the above python in our local environment which is also working fine.

Here is sample output screenshot for reference:
