Hello Community,
I am trying to join Windows Server 2022 and Windows Server 2025 using the new Azure Arc Configuration GUI.
Using the Azure Arc Configuration GUI always and on both systems gives me "the given key was not present in the dictionary when after choosing the Resource Group and the GUI trying to populate the Azure Region.
Doing the same thing running this script with the same user and settings works perfectly: azcmagent connect --subscription-id "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" --resource-group "weu-rg-azurearc" --location "westeurope"
I already went down the path to try it with the supported Windows Server OS and even re-created an Azure Tenant & Subscriptions and multiple Resource Groups. The result in all scenarios on all Windows Servers using the GUI was the same.
Anyone has an idea on what to try next?
Thanks,
Andreas

I'm having the same problem. Using the Azure Arc Configuration GUI does not work, but the commandline works perfectly.

Can Confirm, using the CMD worked as expected (configured within Azure portal, Azure Arc --> Azure Arc Resources --> Machines --> 'Add/Create' --> generate script). Re-ran the GUI and received a message stating it was already configured.
This issue is confirmed to be a bug. Fix is underway.

Azure CMA v.1.42 with the "installed" timestamp of today (June 19, 2024) - same issue.
(Thanks for posting this! Will try the CLI route.)
Are you getting the "the given key was not present" error? It has been fixed for everyone I know, that had the issue. If it is another area, please share more details.
Did it work using the CLI route?
Can confirm it is fixed. However it might appear a new issue that wizard will stuck populating the region. Circling balls forever.
@Karl Wester-Ebbinghaus Thanks for sharing your experience.
still broken. gets stuck at Azure Region with a spinny thing.
Hi David,
can you provide some more information?
What OS version and what Azure Arc Agent version have you tried? Your error seems not to be related to the one we originally experienced and discussed here.
Have you tried the workaround using the command line as described here: https://hartiga.de/azure/windows-server-2025-part-3-azure-arc/
azcmagent connect --subscription-id "your Azure subscription ID" --resource-group "your Azure resource group" --location "the Azure location"

+1 gets stuck at Azure Region --> "The given key was not present in the dictionary."
Insider Build Windows Server 2025 Datacenter Version 10.0.26040.1000
Using the cmdline gets stuck at 30% as well.
10.0.26040.1000 would point to be released back in January. Have you downloaded a current ISO and fully patched it including an update of the Azure Arc Agent to Version 1.46?
Version 26040 should have expired and give you a warning: https://betawiki.net/wiki/Windows_Server_2025_build_26040
If you run the azcmagent command with --verbose we might get additional information.
Weird. Didn't saved my first answer.
Update to the latest Windows Operation System and Azure Arc Agent.
26040 has expired per what I can see: https://betawiki.net/wiki/Windows_Server_2025_build_26040#:~:text=Windows%20Server%202025%20build%2026040%20is%20an
For more information you can also run the azcmagent connect command using --verbose.
+1 I think it's a version issue. 26040 has had several issues. Unfortunately, upgrade to 26280 fails, too. Complete reinstall seems to be the only solution.
I've reinstalled Windows Server 2025 Datacenter 26280. Now it's not the same issue anymore. Strange.
One tenant has been deactivated recently. Now it seems to have become a permission issue. I will try 26304 as well as permission double checks.
Upgrading to 26304, Azure Arc functionality is back. Nice!
