    OriakuO Can you please describe what steps you took? Have you tried manually installing the agent? By default image do you mean you used a gallery image and VMs were not joined to the host pool?

    bhushangawale Are you saying that when you created the VMs, you created them in the Azure Portal and the agent did not get installed on them? The easiest work around would be to install the bootloader and agent from here for Win10 VMs and steps 13-14 here for Win7 VMs. 

    Related to Pavithra's point, we have clearly documented here that you cannot have the agent installed in the image and that it must be done afterward.

      Seneca_Friend would be great if you can go through the original post where I already described the issue at length with all steps.

    I remember that if you have the agent already available in the image, it causes a problem. Hence we specifically ask customers not to create a VM from a VM that is already registered to a host pool.

      Note: issue was still seen even after un-installing all available agents, creating a new image from scratch every time is not a convenient workaround.

      what you have proposed - Is it a temporary workaround for now or a final solution? Just checking if PG is aware of it and fix for it is on the way in future?
