error code 409 on when calling Availability status in 2 of our three subscription

Question

This one is seriously perplexing me and My system admin. We have three subscriptions which our resource groups are assigned(one for each dev, qa, and Prod). We also registered an application in the tenant space and assigned it Classic Virtual Machine Contributor. I grab a client credential client token, pass it as a bearer token and call the Microsoft.ResourceHealth/availabilityStatuses?api-version=2018-07-01 api with the correct Subscription ID and ResourceGroup Name. It works great in the DEV RG and Subscription. I also grabbed an account token personally and copied into the Authorization header and it works on Dev

However when we try to run in QA or PROD, I get the following message when I run through Postman

There is no difference in the Resource Groups set up as we added the the application to the Classic Virtual machine contributor.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Hi @Gosnell, Brian ,

Thanks for your post! I understand that you are receiving the following error on your QA and PROD subscriptions:

{ "code": "AuthError", "message": "An error occured in authentication or authorization. Make sure the resource provider has been registered with this subscription" }  

This error means that you are not registered for Resource Health provider in those subscriptions. You need to enable the "Microsoft.ResourceHealth" Resource provider on your subscription by following the guidelines here:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/resource-manager-supported-services

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/resources/providers/register

You can go to the Subscription > select Resource providers > select the "Microsoft.ResourceHealth" resource provider > and select "Register."

It looks like the 409 error is indicating that the resource provider is in an unavailable status in your subscriptions.

Once you register the resource provider on those to subscriptions, the error should be resolved.
