Hi Cláudio Rodrigues,

I´ve experienced the same! As a work around here is my tip for you to not be blocked:

1. Log into your Azure tenant via Admin credentials
Connect-AzAccount

2. Create the Registration Info and set expiration to 2 hours (you can adapt this to your needs also)

New-AzWvdRegistrationInfo -ResourceGroupName %RGyourHostPool% -HostPoolName %HostPoolName% -ExpirationTime $((get-date).ToUniversalTime().AddHours(2).ToString('yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss.fffffffZ'))}

3. Retreive the Registration Key

Get-AzWvdRegistrationInfo -ResourceGroupName %RGyourHostPool% -HostPoolName %HostPoolName%

This should unblock your issue!

Cheers,

Patrick

Hi patrickkoehler and Cláudio Rodrigues,

I also had the same message.

One thing to add, the token's expiration date can be no less than an hour and no more than one month. If you try to set it for more than a month it will not create the token. Details here https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-desktop/create-host-pools-powershell

Cheers!
