Enable AutoManage is failing

Question

Automanage is failing to be created due to a subscription state: -1.

Here is what I've verified so far:

• Your subscription is enabled
• You're using a supported region (East US)
• There are no deny assignments
• You're still getting the "subscription state: -1" error

➡️ The issue is almost certainly related to internal subscription metadata or limitations of your subscription type (e.g., Developer subscription).

Hello Corey Mechalske,

The Automanage feature is no longer receiving updates and has been deprecated for new and certain existing subscriptions. This is likely the reason you may be encountering errors when attempting to use it with your subscription.

Additionally, Please review the common deployment errors and their mitigation steps in the official documentation.

However, please follow the steps outlined below to assist with further troubleshooting:

1. Register the Automanage Feature: Follow the instructions in the article  Set up preview features in Azure subscription - Azure Resource Manager | Microsoft Learn to register the Automanage feature at the subscription level.
2. Create Automanage Configuration Profile: After registering the feature, try to enable the auto manage feature using Azure Portal.

If it fails, use the PowerShell commands mentioned in the article az automanage configuration-profile | Microsoft Learn to create the Automanage configuration profile.

Please ensure to run the PowerShell commands with the --verbose --debug suffix to enable detailed logging and debugging and share the output with us, for example:

az automanage configuration-profile create --name <profile-name> --location <location> --verbose --debug

Note: Auto-manage does not support for "Trusted Launch VMs" at this time

Please try the above steps and let me know if you continue to experience issues. I’ll be happy to assist further.
