Can't Provision Host Pools anymore
MicrosoftPaul Shadwell: Are you using a user account or service principal? If service principal please create a new one as we have seen issues with those that are older.
Otherwise please confirm your issue is not named here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-desktop/troubleshoot-set-up-issues
evasse I am trying with both username and service principal.
Thankyou for the link it looks useful.
Since the dscextension is the failure point and everything else worked it would be great to have a way to just re-run that part.- Christian_Montoya
Paul Shadwell : Just for clarity, the DSC extension is what:
- Creates the Windows Virtual Desktop host pool
- Installs components / registers the virtual machines to the host pool.
If the DSC was the only thing failing, (meaning the VMs got provisioned and were properly domain joined), I'd recommend:
1. Go to each of the VMs and remove the extensions
2. Follow the steps here to manually create the host pool and register the VMs: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-desktop/create-host-pools-powershell
Let me know if that helps!
Christian_Montoya Thankyou for the responses.
Without changing anything I created a new host pool today with 3 hosts and it completed successfully in 22 minutes and 37 seconds.
Whatever was causing the issue before is now resolved.
