Azure Failed to restart virtual machine - NIC is not in Succeeded state

After I've broken the default user I created for VM, I wanted to reset password or create new user. I'm getting the following error:

Failed to restart the virtual machine 'vm'. Error: Cannot proceed with operation because resource xx-Pipeline-Agent/providers/Microsoft.Network/publicIPAddresses/xx-agent-ip'>xx-agent-ip used by resource /subscriptions/xxx/resourceGroups/xxx-Pipeline-Agent/providers/Microsoft.Network/networkInterfaces/xxx-agent442 is not in Succeeded state. Resource is in Failed state and the last operation that updated/is updating the resource is PutPublicIpAddressOperation.

I'm also trying to redeploy or restart the vm but Im getting the same error. Also I've tried this with no luck:

az network nic update --resource-group xx-Pipeline-Agent --name xx-agent442

How can I fix the state of NIC?

Solution

  • Try to go to Azure Resource Explorer, navigate to the path, subscriptions--->resourceGroups--->providers--->Microsoft.Network--->publicIPAddresses, find the failed public IP, click edit and do a PUT operation.

    If it fails, you can check the error on the bottom, if its a success, you can check in the Azure portal whether the public IP address is in the succeeded state.
