Can not create azure batch pool in virtual network or

ashishj 1

I am getting an error while creating an azure batch pool, I have created a batch account without public address, in a vnet, also created and disabled the private link, private-connectivity when I execute az CLI

az batch account login -g myRg --name myPool --shared-key-auth

az batch pool create --id myPoo-windows --os-family 4 --target-dedicated 2 --vm-size small

to crate batch pool it throws an Authorization error This request is not authorized to perform this operation

Am not sure at this stage, even though I have had my RBAC as a contributor on the resource any help is much appreciated

Hi @ ashishj ,

In the commands your providing your using shared-key auth, if you intend to use Azure AD and RBAC don't use the --shared-key-auth param.

If you must use shared-key-auth please please verify that your shared key is valid and debug and troubleshoot the login cmdlet:

az batch account login -g myRg --name myPool --shared-key-auth --show --debug.

Once you can see the debug logs you can validate your key is correct.

I would recommend using RBAC and just not use the --shared-key-auth param.

Hii @WinstonHoward-MSFT

Thank you for your reply, the debug cmd gives lot of information including python adal, am a bit confused here and don't want to take any chances with my limited knowledge, do you want me to share the entire o/p

@ ashishj ,

Did you try to login with AD? Such as:

az batch account login -g myRg --name myPool az batch pool create --id myPoo-windows --os-family 4 --target-dedicated 2 --vm-size small

Lets try to log in without the token before debugging.
