Use-case description:
I've a use case wherein, we need to create a VM in azure using the existing VHD Uri available in storage account & the same ARM template should have the feasibility to join to domain. At the present currently tried working & executing the ARM template which has only flexibility of using the existing VHD Uri and creating a VM (this Uri will act as "OsDiskVhdUri") & another template has only the ability to create new VM and join to domain these are working on standalone basis.
Key highlighters:-
- Need a template which has both "OsDiskVhdUri" & domain join parameters.
- Template reference should be "OsDiskVhdUri", because when i tried integrating both templates & troubleshooting - Image reference related errors are there on while deployment.
- The very important point, was - the ARM template while blueprint assignment asks for OsDiskVhdUri parameter and although I give the Uri for creating the VM, with the below template, it doesn't seems to take that Uri" instead it creates a NEW VM every time and attaches to domain.
- Deployment method is blueprint in Azure.
Error:- type 'Template' failed to deploy due to the following error: Template deployment failed with error [ { "message": "Could not find member 'osDiskVhdUri' on object of type 'ImageReference'. Path 'properties.storageProfile.imageReference.osDiskVhdUri', line 1, position 237." }
Exhausted all methods finding still deeper dive into it & any guidance on this will be highly appreciated!!
