Timeout when deploying Windows VM to AzureStackEdge

Question

I have deployed the following to Azure Stack Edge successfully:

• Ubuntu
• Windows 2019

I am now trying to deploy a Windows 2022 image, but continally getting a VmProvisioningTimeout. I have created my VM Image a number of different ways, including directly from the marketplace, but end up at the same point.

Diagnostics on the ASE all look fine.

Conflict : {  
  "status": "Failed",  
  "error": {  
    "code": "ResourceDeploymentFailure",  
    "message": "The resource operation completed with terminal provisioning state 'Failed'.",  
    "details": [  
      {  
        "code": "VmProvisioningTimeout",  
        "message": "VM 'gupwindows2022' failed to provision with timeout. ''."  
      }  
    ]  
  }  
}  

1. What might be causing this to fail.
2. How can I find more information about the cause. I believe it is an actualy failure, which eventually causes a timeout. I can not find any other information, which makes investigation impossible.

Thanks, Brock

Answer 1

MS Support was able to help me.

The root issue was due to the Generation 2 VMs not being properly supported by the Web UI.

In theory it would have worked by PowerShell CLI commands, but I couldn't get that to work either - probably due to my own fault.

As of approximately the 16th December, Gen2 images are now better supported for provisioning on ASE. With this new functionality, I was able to provision a Windows 11 VM successfully.
