ARM Template to create SQL Database with a privatendpoint - azure

Question

I'm having errors while trying to deploy an ARM deploy with an SQL Database and its private endpoint.
here is the code below

The challenge here is that when I try to run this code I always get this error
Deployment template validation failed: 'The template reference 'powerStateManagement-vnet' is not valid: could not find template resource or resource copy with this name.
The ''powerStateManagement-vnet' is an existing Virtual Network which has been referenced below

],
"properties": {

}
}
}
Please help

There is something wrong with your dependsOn param of Microsoft.Network/privateEndpoints. And seems there are some other issues in your template, I did some modification based on your template,just try it below:
{
"$schema": "https://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/2019-04-01/deploymentTemplate.json#",
"contentVersion": "1.0.0.0",
"parameters": {

}
},
"sqlAdministratorLoginPassword": {
"type": "securestring",
"metadata": {
"description": "The administrator password of the SQL logical server."
}
},

}
}, {

"dependsOn": [

],
"properties": {
"registrationEnabled": false,
"virtualNetwork": {
"id":"[resourceId('Microsoft.Network/virtualNetworks', variables('vnetName'))]"
}
}
}, {
"type": "Microsoft.Network/privateEndpoints/privateDnsZoneGroups",
"apiVersion": "2020-06-01",
"name": "[variables('pvtendpointdnsgroupname')]",
"location": "[parameters('location')]",

],
"properties": {

"properties": {
"privateDnsZoneId": "[resourceId('Microsoft.Network/privateDnsZones', variables('privateDnsZoneName'))]"
}
}

}
}
]
}
This template creates a new virtual network with a default subnet together, I use my own private DNS zone named : testdns.com. I have tested on my side by powershell and it works for me.
