The commands I have tried don't work!Th

[spalmstr]

[Enter feedback here] The command az vm show -n $vmName -g $rgName --query [securityProfile.encryptionAtHost] -o tsv fails. If the Resource Group is the simple resource group name, it can't be found. If you use the full id, you get an invalid API error. Updating the CLI doesn't help - it is already on the latest version.

So, I've had to abandon the attempt at configuring the VM for Encryption at Host.

Hi @spalmstr It seems like there might be an issue with the command you used. You can try using the following command to check the encryption status of your VM:

az vm encryption show --name MyVM -g MyResourceGroup

This command should return the encryption status of your VM. If you still face issues, please provide more information about the error message you received, and I will try to help you further.
