Bicep deployment failes with error "New-AzManagementGroupDeployment : 9:35:38 am - Error: Code=; Message='deploymentName' does not match expected pattern '^[-\w\._]+$'"

Hi,

trying to create a role assignment at the management level using Bicep and PowerShell to deploy.
When I run with what-if switch it succeeds with no errors. However if I remove the switch it fails with following error.

--------------

New-AzManagementGroupDeployment : 9:35:38 am - Error: Code=; Message='deploymentName' does not match expected pattern '^[-\w._()]+$'.

------------------

I haven't specified a name. Even tried using the -Name switch but same result.
Not sure what else I can look at.

thanks,
Peter

@Peter Kutter Thanks for reaching out. Can you please share the bicep template and PowerShell Commands you are using so that I can test it from my end and provide you an appropriate solution ? Thanks.

Hi managed to fix it by using the -Name switch for New-AzManagementGroupDeployment. Had to make up a name that is unique.
Thought if you don't specify a name, it auto generates one using a time stamp but, in this case, did not work.

@Peter Kutter Glad to know that the issue is resolved and thanks for sharing the resolution here, it would be very beneficial for the community members who are looking for similar solutions.

When deploying ARM template, you can provide deployment name. If not, the name of the template file is used. For example, if you deploy a template named azuredeploy.json and don't specify a deployment name, the deployment is named azuredeploy . Every time you run a deployment; an entry is added to the resource group's deployment history with the deployment name. If you run another deployment and give it the same name, the earlier entry is replaced with the current deployment.
