I am attempting to deploy a Azure Resource Template to a brand new Windows Server VM on Azure which includes a Microsoft.Powershell.DSC resource to the VM.
The DSC configuration file has been pushed to public accessible Azure Storage Blob container which I have verified can be downloaded from a browser accessing the URL.
After successfully deploying a new VM I added an extension sub-resource to execute the DSC configuration file stored in the Azure blob container mentioned above.
I cannot figure out why it is failing.
I execute the deployment using this command:
New-AzureRmResourceGroupDeployment `
-Name $resourceDeploymentName `
-ResourceGroupName $rscrcGrpName `
-TemplateFile $templatePath `
-TemplateParameterFile $parameterPath `
-Verbose
Here is the error:
New-AzureRmResourceGroupDeployment : 3:56:46 PM - Resource Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines 'DC1' failed with message '{
"status": "Failed",
"error": {
"code": "ResourceDeploymentFailure",
