Hi,

It looks from the logs that you had a Windows Server 2016 image already downloaded in your gallery - is that true? From the logs:

WS Full: /providers/Microsoft.Compute.Admin/locations/local/artifactTypes/platformImage/publishers/MicrosoftWindowsServer/offers/WindowsServer/skus/2016-Datacenter/versions/2016.127.20200131'

WS Core: /providers/Microsoft.Compute.Admin/locations/local/artifactTypes/platformImage/publishers/MicrosoftWindowsServer/offers/WindowsServer/skus/2016-Datacenter-Server-Core/versions/2016.127.20200131'

Did you download one, then remove it while my script was running, or something else?

Hi,

Thanks for the quick reply! Yes, I have downloaded Windows Server 2016 image after the ASDK deployment. Deleting the image and will try your script again. Will get beck with update......

That won't fix it - you will need to reset the Windows Update stage of the process first. When you ran the script before, during the WindowsUpdate step, my script detected that you had a Windows Server Core and Windows Server Full image, so it didn't download any updates.

However, when my ServerFull2016Image step ran, it didn't detect the existing Windows Server Full image, but because the updates hadn't been downloaded, it didn't run. I'm not sure why it did that, but i'll check for that going forward.

I'm confused though, your launch command above looks like this:

.\AzSPoC.ps1 -azureDirectoryTenantName "xxx.onmicrosoft.com" -authenticationType AzureAD -downloadPath "D:\AzSPoC_Deploy" -ISOPath "C:\ISO_WS2016_EV\WS2016EVALISO.iso" -asdkHostPwd 'xxxx' -VMpwd 'xxxx' -azureAdUsername "xxx@xxx.onmicrosoft.com" -azureAdPwd 'xxxx' ` -registerAzS -useAzureCredsForRegistration -azureRegSubId "5fxxxxx-b0cb-xxxx-9d6b-dxxxxxxa0"

You have told it to register the ASDK, but wasn't it already registered, seeing as you have downloaded images from the marketplace, or did you download them while my script was running?

Anyway, you'll need to run this before you run the script (assuming you do not have a Windows Server 2016 Full image downloaded:

$sqlServerInstance = '(localdb)\MSSQLLocalDB'
$databaseName = "AzSPoC"
$tableName = "Progress"
$progressStage = "WindowsUpdates"

Invoke-Sqlcmd -Server $sqlServerInstance -Query "USE $databaseName UPDATE Progress SET $progressStage = 'Incomplete';" -Verbose:$false -ErrorAction Stop
Read-SqlTableData -ServerInstance $sqlServerInstance -DatabaseName "$databaseName" -SchemaName "dbo" -TableName "$tableName" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue -Verbose:$false

This will/should download the correct updates for your Windows Images and then build the Windows Server 2016 Full image...

Sorry, I forgot to mention it earlier, I registered my ASDK with Azure and downloaded some images from the Marketplace before I ran your script. Then I ran a power-shell script to un-register it from Azure and deleted the RG from Azure and started your script again. After deleting just the image from Marketplace the script worked. Didn't need to run the script above. The deployment succeeded. Thanks a lot!

Great - glad it worked!
