I have a Pair of Azure Arc SCVMM Bridges that have been offline for more than 45 Days.

Question

I have a pair of Azure Arc Bridges into my 2 SCVMM on prem, servers they were turned off looking at the logs 90 Days Ago.

AADSTS700082: The refresh token has expired due to inactivity. The token was issued on 2024-04-12T15:42:08.9860377Z and was inactive for 90.00:00:00. Trace ID: cad34472-fae8-4e8b-913d-52bda827a800 Correlation ID: 91e7a6ff-c9dc-442e-96db-32f648602c1f Timestamp: 2025-03-17 11:31:07Z

I was unware of the 45 day limitation and hadn't go to setting up the alert,

Anyone aware how I can reconnect the devices or is it a case of starting again

Hello, @Matthew Bard !

You can update the credentials of the account for Arc resource bridge using Azure CLI:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-arc/system-center-virtual-machine-manager/administer-arc-scvmm?tabs=account-for-arc-resource-bridge#update-the-scvmm-account-credentials-using-a-new-password-or-a-new-scvmm-account-after-onboarding

To update the credentials of the account for Arc resource bridge, run the following Azure CLI commands. Run the commands from a workstation that can access cluster configuration IP address of the Arc resource bridge locally:

az account set -s <subscription id>
az arcappliance get-credentials -n <name of the appliance> -g <resource group name> 
az arcappliance update-infracredentials scvmm --kubeconfig kubeconfig
