Hi @Naveen Neerukattu ,

there are different things you could check/test.:

• Are you able to connect to the VM via HTTPS without using the Load Balancer (verify the IIS has a binding for HTTPS)
• Are you using trusted certificates for HTTPS?
• Please try to use HTTP Port 80 for the Health Probe and HTTPS/443 on the Load Balancer Rule.
