To open an issue, please run: 'az feedback'

Whatever resource group you had specified in the request to azure does not follow what azure is expecting. It even told you what regex the name must conform to. `^[-\\w\\._\$\$]+$` — rdas, Apr 23 '19 at 15:30
are any other solutions there? Because resource group name is matching with default regex pattern. Kindly provide any other solution for this. — Sathish Kannan, Apr 25 '19 at 08:48

I had this problem, but resolved it by removing the quotes around the resource group name. Silly mistake on my behalf, but may be the issue here.

e.g. use az group create -n my-groupname-rg -l northeurope rather than: e.g. use az group create -n 'my-groupname-rg' -l 'northeurope'

@SathishKannan, here is a similar [issue](https://github.com/Azure/azure-cli/issues/9050), can you try to [install the cli](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/install-azure-cli?view=azure-cli-latest) locally, then use local azure cli for this test? – Ivan Glasenberg Apr 25 '19 at 09:33
