Azure VM unable to deploy from custom image: Conflict

Question

Hi there,

I have customized a Windows Server 2019 VM and then created an image for future use.
As a requirement, I have generalized this VM which made it useless. Obviously, I thought - let's just spin up a new VM using this new image - so I did. The basics of a VM service didn't work.
The deployment is failing when it creates the VM, please, see the screenshot.

Can anyone advise what would make this deployment conflict?

TA, William.

Hi @srbhatta-MSFT . On the screenshot you can see pretty much the whole message.
Please, see below from the deployment logs:

      "statusCode": "Conflict",  
      "statusMessage": {  
        "status": "Failed",  
        "error": {  
          "code": "InternalExecutionError",  
          "message": "An internal execution error occurred. Please retry later."  
        }  
      },  
      "targetResource": {  
        "id": "/****************/resourceGroups/rg-publicVMs-prd-uks/providers/Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines/vmUTIL01",  
        "resourceType": "Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines",  
        "resourceName": "vmUTIL01"  
      }  
    }

I just gave up. I lost more time trying to make it work than I would take to set up a VM from scratch.

Answer 3

Im getting the same issue from the jenkins plugin (azure vm agents), decided to go with custom arm scripts as it takes much less time to debug and deploy. I think this technology isn't mature enough as there isn't a way to make it work with a custom image only with the built in one.
