Hello,
I am having an issue when I am starting to use the Azure Automation account to create Azure VMs off-hours Turnoff. Getting this error while setting this up.
"The resource 'resource' already exists in location 'eastus' in resource group 'RG'. A resource with the same name cannot be created in location 'eastus2'. Please select a new resource name. When creating a Start and Stop solution."

@harshvir, you cannot have two resources of the same type+name in the same resource group. This is an Azure Resource Manager limitation coming from its resource ID scheme but it is also a good practice to avoid naming duplicates. Why would you want to have two resources with the same name?
