Hi Amardeep,

Exercise - Add parameters and outputs to your Azure Resource Manager template

-storageName and -storageSKU are not valid parameters for New-AzResourceGroupDeployment command, so you need to remove them from your command line.

You can put your parameters in a separate json parameter file and refer to it using -TemplateParameterFile or you could create a hash table and use -TemplateParameterObject instead.

For example, you could create a separate file named parameters.json with below contents to supply parameter values:

{
    "$schema": "https://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/2015-01-01/deploymentParameters.json#",
    "contentVersion": "1.0.0.0",
    "parameters": {
        "storageName": {
            "value": "storageName12369"
        },
        "storageSKU": {
            "value": "Standard_LRS"
        }
    }
}

and the command would be similar to below:

New-AzResourceGroupDeployment -Name $deploymentName -ResourceGroupName my-resource-group -TemplateFile $templateFile -TemplateParameterFile parameters.json
