Unable to enable System-Assign Managed Identity on VMSS

[dretta]

Description

I am not able to enable the System-Assigned Managed Identity for Virtual Machine Scaling Sets. I have made a new VMSS (making me the owner of it thus having all permissions needed) and tried to enable the System-Assigned Managed Identity through the Portal and Azure PowerShell but both attempts fail.

This does not apply to the instances, individually enabling each VM still works.

Issue script & Debug output

PS C:\Users\danielretta> Update-AzVmss -ResourceGroupName myResourceGroup -Name myScaleSet -IdentityType "SystemAssigned"

Hi @dretta I'll loop in the developers of the Az.Compute module but if you are experiencing issues both on Azure Portal and with Azure PowerShell, it's recommended to contact Azure support for a quicker response.
