Hi @youngsik Ahn,

Thanks for contacting Microsoft Q&A platform.

When you add a Virtual Machine to a Workspace, or Azure Automation, the server is then automatically linked to the OMS that is linked to Azure Automation, the Virtual Machine receives a new Extension: “Microsoft Monitoring Agent”.

If you remove the Microsoft Monitoring Agent extension from the VM, the Virtual Machine is disconnected from the Workspace (OMS), and you can then link the Virtual Machine with Azure Automation Update Management.

Follow below steps to link your VM to correct Automation Update Management

· Go to the virtual machine in Azure “Virtual Machines.”

· Search in the VM menu for Extensions.

· Here you can see the Microsoft Monitoring Agent.

· Click on the 3 dots and choose to uninstall.

· Click Yes to remove the extension. The Extension will now be removed.

· When you now go back to Azure Automation – Update Management, or go to Update Management via the VM, you will see that you can add the VM to Azure Automation.

Hope this helps you.

Hello, @v-vvellanki-MSFT

I followed your advice and did the following.

‘Microsoft Monitoring Agent’ was deleted from VM menu Extensions.

I enabled 'Change Tracking' again.

I can check as follows in the ‘Virtual Machine-Change tracking’ menu.

I was previously migrating to 'Azure Monitoring Agent'.

When I click 'Switch to CT&I with AMA' on the screen above, the following error occurs.

Is there a way I can reset AMA on this virtual machine?

I would like to change to AMA following the termination of Log Analytics service.

Please advise me how.

Thanks.

Did you try the last step mentioned in the answer?
When you now go back to Azure Automation – Update Management, or go to Update Management via the VM, you will see that you can add the VM to Azure Automation.

@v-vvellanki-MSFT

I tried, but it didn't solve the problem.

I disconnected the change tracking connection and started setting it up again.

Is there anything I can do to use the AMA agent?

@v-vvellanki-MSFT

I set up 'Change tracking' through MMA agent.

Additionally, it was set up according to the AMA migrate guide.

Are there any additional settings I need to configure AMA?
