Can someone give me some guidance on how to get my monitoring extension working?
We did a rename and this new VM is from the previous disk, we are going to have a lot of these in our migration.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
ANY help would be greatly appreciated. Please. I am out of ideas
Whats the base OS of your VM? windows or linux
In addition to what @jakaruna-MSFT asked, can you provide some specific errors you get from removing it via the portal and PowerShell? That might help narrow it down. Also, based on the last error regarding the VM agent, that might be the issue. You cannot use extensions if the Agent is not working. You can reinstall the agent though which might resolve everything all up. Here is the doc on the VM agent: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/extensions/agent-windows it is for windows but if you are running Linux on the left hand menu there is another option for linux.
They are a mix of Server 2012/2016.
If I goto update management/inventory/change tracking, etc..
I receive
"The xxxxxxx solution cannot be enabled"
"The solution cannot be enabled on this virtual machine because VM agent is missing or not responding"
When I try to remove it from the portal through the uninstall option.
"Failed to delete the virtual machine extension
Failed to delete the virtual machine extension 'MicrosoftMonitoringAgent'. Error: error"
PowerShell just says No content and doesn't go anything even if I try the -force switch.

Try logging into the VM then manually installing the Agent. This should replace it with a working version then at which point you could manage the extensions again from the portal:https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/extensions/agent-windows#manual-installation
still comes up with unknown on the extension. =/
I have tried every suggestion people have made and nothing has worked. I am going to resort to rebuilding the VM
If you like, I can get you in touch with Technical Support to see what they can do. I just would need you to email me at AzCommunity@microsoft.com and provide your SubscriptionID and link to this issue.

Failed during deployment. both agents show unavailable.
"provisioningOperation": "Create", "provisioningState": "Failed", "statusCode": "Conflict", "statusMessage": { "status": "Failed", "error": { "code": "ResourceDeploymentFailure", "message": "The resource operation completed with terminal provisioning state 'Failed'.", "details": [ { "code": "VMAgentStatusCommunicationError", "message": "VM 'X' has not reported status for VM agent or
extensions. verify VM has a running VM agent and can establish outbound connections to Azure storage.", id": "/Microsoft.Insights.VMDiagnosticsSettings"
and by both I mean. the Diagnostics agent failed during deployment. I tried to install the Microsoft monitoring agent. It went to unavailable when I enabled it from the dashboard.
