New-AzVm fails with 'The subscription is not authorized' error

A.M. Sabuncu 31

I have the following command:

New-AzVm -ResourceGroupName 'vs2022rg'
-Name 'vs2022vm'
-Location 'swedencentral'
-Image 'MicrosoftVisualStudio:visualstudio2022:vs-2022-comm-latest-win11-n-gen2:2024.04.15'
-VirtualNetworkName 'vs2022vnet'
-SubnetName 'vs2022subnet'
-SecurityGroupName 'vs2022sg'
-PublicIpAddressName 'vs2022pip'
-OpenPorts 80,3389

When I run it, I get 'New-AzVm : The subscription is not authorized.' error:

2024-05-10 094920 - powershell

I am pretty sure the image URN is correct, as I put it together by querying each of its components. That is, I did not copy/paste a random URN.

I also made sure that the image does not have a purchase plan:

> az vm image terms show --urn 'MicrosoftVisualStudio:visualstudio2022:vs-2022-comm-latest-win11-n-gen2:2024.04.15'

Image 'MicrosoftVisualStudio:visualstudio2022:vs-2022-comm-latest-win11-n-gen2:2024.04.15' has no terms to accept.

I am able to successfully create VMs from my own custom images that reside in my resource groups, so I don't think there's any problem with my subscription.

Note: I have had problems deploying Visual Studio images from the portal as well, so I can't export a successfully deployed VM from the portal to look into its template and see how it's been created.

Hello A.M. Sabuncu,

Welcome to microsoft Q&A, thankyou for posting your query here.

Check that the specified image is available in the swedencentral region.

Some images might not be available in all regions.

az vm image list --location 'swedencentral' --publisher 'MicrosoftVisualStudio' --offer 'visualstudio2022' --sku 'vs-2022-comm-latest-win11-n-gen2' --all

Check Azure policies or restrictions in place that might be preventing the creation of the VM.

az policy assignment list --scope /subscriptions/fe40ef0d-5627-4164-aa85-6d831e183b16

Hope this helps you.

Hi @Anveshreddy Nimmala thanks for your response.

I verified that the specified image is available in the region, with all versions present:

I ran the az policy assignment list command, what should I be looking for in the output?

Hello A.M. Sabuncu,

When you run the az policy assignment list command, you should be looking for the following key details in the output.

A list of all policy assignments. Each assignment indicates a specific policy that has been assigned to a resource, resource group, or subscription.

The name of each policy assignment. This helps you identify and manage different policy assignments.

The scope which specifies where the policy is applied.

Enforcement mode can be "Default"

Identity provides details, If the policy assignment uses a managed identity.
