Cannot create hostpool (or any other ARM WVD 'resource') - Validation failed
Raaert Forgot to mention, go to the Resource Group you specified and look in the Deployments blade and see what information is logged there; attached is an example of what you should see
 
- No errors in rg deployments - because it fails during validation so I never get to deploy it.
Raaert when I try to fill out information incorrectly, I get a different error and I get a red dot above the area that is causing the error, for example if miss a parameter I see the included clip below; I do not see that in any of your images.
I was not able to recreate the error message you see; I noticed that your gallery image looks to be your own and not one from the drop down menu defaults (clip below), try selecting one of those and again see if that gives same error; it may help in troubleshooting and narrow down areas where the issue is not, and if this works it validates the other fields are correct so must be attributed to maybe the image being used in that case. Apologies than other than that I would not know what the issue is; maybe others have further ideas.SteveMiles70
Thanks fror your help, i just figured out the issue / error message 5 minutes ago..."message\":\"Resource 'hostpool1' was disallowed by policy. Policy identifiers: '[{\\\"policyAssignment\\\":{\\\"name\\\":\\\"Allowed locations\
Apparently we had a policy that only allowed specific resource locations and the spring update doesnt support EU locations for metadata yet.. that was the issue 🙂
Stupid issue but easy to fix.
Raaert ...ah, of course, just realised that... will continue to check in my setup when i find a few minutes.
