ResourceDeploymentFailure when creating a HostPool for Azure Virtual Desktop

When I try to create a Azure Virtual Desktop I get the following error:

 

{
  "code": "DeploymentFailed",
  "target": "/subscriptions/a-b-c-d-e/resourceGroups/rg-avd-wcus/providers/Microsoft.Resources/deployments/HostPool-x-y-z-æ-ø-deployment",
  "message": "At least one resource deployment operation failed. Please list deployment operations for details. Please see https://aka.ms/arm-deployment-operations for usage details.",
  "details": [
    {
      "code": "ResourceDeploymentFailure",
      "target": "/subscriptions/a-b-c-d-e/resourceGroups/rg-avd-wcus/providers/Microsoft.DesktopVirtualization/hostpools/hp-avd-wcus/sessionHostConfigurations/default",
      "message": "The resource write operation failed to complete successfully, because it reached terminal provisioning state 'Failed'."
    }
  ]
}

 

 

Anyone know what it is or how I can fix it?
