Creating Data Factory with Powershell

Question

I am attempting to create all my Azure resources with powershell but I cant create the data Factory

I am trying the following

$RG = "dev-uks-project-rg"

$ADFName = "dev-uks-project-adf"

$Location = "UK South"

 New-AzDataFactory -ResourceGroupName $RG -Name $ADFName –Location $Location

But I get the error

New-AzDataFactory : HTTP Status Code: BadRequest
Error Code: LocationNotAvailableForResourceType
Error Message: The provided location 'UK South' is not available for resource type
'Microsoft.DataFactory/dataFactories'. List of available regions for the resource type is
'westus,northeurope,eastus,westcentralus'.

    + CategoryInfo          : CloseError: (:) [New-AzDataFactory], CloudException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.Azure.Commands.DataFactories.NewAzureDataFactoryCommand

If I create it in azure Portal I can create in on UK South so my first question here is... Is there possibly another module I need to install before running this? UK south is definitely available so how can I use it.

The next part of the issue is when I attempt to create via northeurope

I get the below message so again Im wondering if there is something else i need to install for data factory?

New-AzDataFactory : HTTP Status Code: BadRequest
Error Code: DataFactoryCreationNotAllowedV2
Error Message: Data factory creation is currently disabled for tenant xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx and
subscription xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxx in the northeurope region.

Hi Debbie Edwards,

Thanks for the reply.

After further research, I found that you are using the command to deploy the Azure data factory V1 version. The error message you were seeing is correct, as ADF V1 is only available in specific regions.

In order to deploy ADF v2, please use the below PS command.

Set-AzDataFactoryV2 -ResourceGroupName "ADF" -Name "WikiADF" -Location "WestUS"

Reference document: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/az.datafactory/set-azdatafactoryv2?view=azps-9.4.0&viewFallbackFrom=azps-6.4.0

I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any further questions.
