There are many possibilities to receive the Conflict status code. You can view a list and the reasons here. Did you receive the specific error code? Looking at some of our examples it appears that you could possibly be missing some required parameters. Checkout the example here for more information.

private static VirtualMachineConfiguration CreateVirtualMachineConfiguration(ImageReference imageReference)
{
    return new VirtualMachineConfiguration(
        imageReference: imageReference,
        nodeAgentSkuId: "batch.node.windows amd64");
}

private static ImageReference CreateImageReference()
{
    return new ImageReference(
        publisher: "MicrosoftWindowsServer",
        offer: "WindowsServer",
        sku: "2016-datacenter-smalldisk",
        version: "latest");
}

private static void CreateBatchPool(BatchClient batchClient, VirtualMachineConfiguration vmConfiguration)
{
    try
    {
        CloudPool pool = batchClient.PoolOperations.CreatePool(
            poolId: PoolId,
            targetDedicatedComputeNodes: PoolNodeCount,
            virtualMachineSize: PoolVMSize,
            virtualMachineConfiguration: vmConfiguration);

        pool.Commit();
    }
