I am running the following PowerShell code:
Get-AzureRmAutomationAccount `
-ResourceGroupName $AUTOMATION_ACCOUNT_RESOURCE_GROUP `
-Name $AUTOMATION_ACCOUNT_NAME
New-AzureRmAutomationConnection
-ResourceGroupName $AUTOMATION_ACCOUNT_RESOURCE_GROUP `
-AutomationAccountName $AUTOMATION_ACCOUNT_NAME `
-Name $ConnectionAssetName `
-ConnectionTypeName AzureServicePrincipal `
-ConnectionFieldValues $ConnectionFieldValues
The Get-AzureRmAutomationAccount displays details of the automation account, but New-AzureRmAutomationConnection (although using exactly the same parameter values) throws the following error:
New-AzureRmAutomationConnection : The Automation account was not found.
At line:2 char:1
+ New-AzureRmAutomationConnection -ResourceGroupName $AUTOMATION_ACCOUN ...
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : CloseError: (:) [New-AzureRmAutomationConnection], ArgumentException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.Azure.Commands.Automation.Cmdlet.NewAzureAutomationConnection
Any suggestions what I may be missing are appreciated! :)
The error is misleading, the error you are most likely seeing is related to a bad field. Run the cmdlet with debug to see the value is it failing on. You will have to scroll up a bit to find the exception in the body.
Ensure you have your cert thumbprint, sub id, tenant, and app id. I just tested with the following and it worked as expected. (replaced my values of course). Hope this helps!
New-AzureRmAutomationConnection `
-ResourceGroupName TestAzureAuto `
-AutomationAccountName TestAzureAuto `
-Name "MyAsset2" `
-ConnectionTypeName AzureServicePrincipal `
-ConnectionFieldValues @{"CertificateThumbprint"="0000000000000000000000000000000000000000";"SubscriptionID"="00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000";"ApplicationId" = "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000"; "TenantId" = "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000" }
