Hi Pratik_Mishra 

I was deploying a simple standalone cloud-only model and I the host pool deployment kept on failing for me with the same error. I had a session with partner consultants as well to double-check my configuration and all looked correct. I was able to deploy a host pool the first time, when I was using free trial subscription; but then failed on every subsequent attempts, following the same steps.

 

Anyway, the alternative worked for me. I created and deployed a virtual machine (VM) and selected different subnet of the same virtual network, did standard domain join of VM, created and deployed a host pool without creating VM and then registered VM to that host pool.

 

The following were the (workaround) steps that worked for me:

 

  1. Created and deployed virtual network with two subnets - one dedicated to Azure Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) and the other for a virtual machine (VM). Refer to Tutorial: Configure virtual networking for an Azure Active Directory Domain Services managed domain for details.
  2. Created and deployed Azure AD DS with the selection of first subnet of a virtual network (created in step 1). Refer to Tutorial: Create and configure an Azure Active Directory Domain Services managed domain for details.
  3. Created and deployed a VM with the selection of second subnet of the same virtual network (created in step 1).
    Connected to VM using the 'Connect > RDP' option in Azure portal. Refer to How to connect and sign on to an Azure virtual machine running Windows for details.
  4. After signing in to VM, did standard domain join of VM, by selecting 'Domain' and entering domain name under 'Computer Name' tab in 'System Properties' dialog.
  5. Created and deployed a host pool without adding a VM to host pool at this point (select 'No' option under 'Virtual machines' tab when filling the information required for creating a host pool.
  6. Registered the VM (created and deployed in step 3) to the host pool (created and deployed in step 6). Follow the instructions for registering a VM to a host pool mentioned in Register the virtual machines to the Windows Virtual Desktop host pool . Note that, add the " | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Token" at the end of the command "New-AzWvdRegistrationInfo" to retrieve the registration token value so that, it can be copied to a text file.

I hope this helps.

 

Kind regards,

Misbah
