Microsoftlokeshchouksey This sounds like the virtual machine doesn't have permissions to deallocate itself. Can you run the script in the initial post again to assign proper permissions to the system managed identities?

it is working only if i leave the machine and machine itself disconnected and logoff via set policy.
