Cannot parse the request - MissingJsonReferenceId : Error while creating NIC using PowerShell Az command - azure

I am using below Az PowerShell command to create the NIC for virtual machine.
# Create a NIC for the web server VM.
$nicVMweb = New-AzNetworkInterface -ResourceGroupName $rgName -Location $location `
-Name $VmFrontendNICCardName -PublicIpAddress $publicipvm1 `
-NetworkSecurityGroup $nsgfe -Subnet $virtualNetwork.Subnets[0]
Cannot parse the request. StatusCode: 400 ReasonPhrase: Bad Request ErrorCode: InvalidRequestFormat ErrorMessage: Cannot parse the request. Additional details: Code: MissingJsonReferenceId Message: Value for

Issue Resolved by Below PowerShell
$Subnet = Get-AzVirtualNetwork -Name $virtualNetworkName -ResourceGroupName $rgName
$IPconfig = New-AzNetworkInterfaceIpConfig -Name $VmFrontendIpConfigName -PrivateIpAddressVersion IPv4 -PrivateIpAddress "10.0.0.10" -SubnetId $Subnet.Subnets[0].Id
$nicVMweb = New-AzNetworkInterface -Name $VmFrontendNICCardName -ResourceGroupName $rgName -Location $location -IpConfiguration $IPconfig
What is the issue in first command?

Could not reproduce your issue, your first command works fine on my side.
$virtualNetwork = Get-AzVirtualNetwork -Name "<vnet-name>" -ResourceGroupName "<group-name>"
$publicipvm1 = Get-AzPublicIpAddress -ResourceGroupName <group-name> -Name joyvm-ip2
$nsgfe = Get-AzNetworkSecurityGroup -Name joyvm-nsg -ResourceGroupName <group-name>
$nicVMweb = New-AzNetworkInterface -ResourceGroupName <group-name> -Location "West US 2" -Name "joyinter" -PublicIpAddress $publicipvm1 -NetworkSecurityGroup $nsgfe -Subnet $virtualNetwork.Subnets[0]
For this issue, it may be related to the version of Az.Network module, I use the 3.3.0 version, try to update it to the latest version:
Update-Module -Name Az.Network

Azure VMs fails as public ip is allocated to other resource

I am using a powershell script to create multiple Vms based on an image. The first Vm is ok but when attempting the second Vm I get an error saying that :
| Resource /subscriptions/....../networkInterfaces/xxxxx/ipConfigurations/xxxxx is referencing public IP address
| /subscriptions/xxxxxxxxx/providers/Microsoft.Network/publicIPAddresses/Microsoft.Azure.Commands.Network.Models.PSPublicIpAddress that is already allocated to
| resource /subscriptions/......./networkInterfaces/xxxxx/ipConfigurations/xxxxx.
Here is the script I am using:

To me it seems that the variable used for the PIP is not "flushed" properly between the executions but I have no idea on how to do this?
Or is there something else causing the error?
I have tried adding some delays but without effect.
Create a public IP address and specify a DNS name
Create a NSG
Create a NIC and associate with created pub IP address and NSG
Create a virtual machine configuration and assign the NIC
Create the VM with the config

MS is providing well tested powershell code for various tasks:
I prefer the github samples https://github.com/Azure/azure-docs-powershell-samples over the steps in learn and doc.microsoft.com
also have a deeper look at the Azure CLI examples and template based deployments. It seems to me that MS is abandoning PS a bit.

argument is null or empty - start-job

I am getting an argument is null error while trying to execute below command. Is there a way to can call the variable inside start-job
$RG = "xx"
$Location1 = "xx"
$VNET1="xx"
$PublicIP1="xx"
$VNGW1 = "xx"
Start-Job {
New-AzVirtualNetworkGateway -Name $VNGW1 -ResourceGroupName $RG -Location $Location1 -GatewayType Vpn -VpnType RouteBased -GatewaySku VpnGw1 -Asn 65511 -IpConfigurations $gwipconf1 -EnableBgp $True
}
Cannot validate argument on parameter 'Name'. The argument is null or empty. Provide an argument that is not null or empty, and then try the command again.
Cannot validate argument on parameter 'Name'. The argument is null or
empty. Provide an argument that is not null or empty, and then try the
command again.
Without the Argument list in Start-Job cmdlet, we cannot use the variables.
We have created a PowerShell script & tested the below scripts in our environment which is working fine. We can create Virtual Network Gateway using start-job in below two ways:
Using Variables as Argument List
Using Script in Start-Job
Using Variables as Argument List:
Firstly, We have created all the dependency resources for Virtual Network Gateway using below cmdlets:
$subnet = New-AzVirtualNetworkSubnetConfig -Name 'gatewaysubnet' -AddressPrefix '10.254.0.0/27'
$ngwpip = New-AzPublicIpAddress -Name ngwpip -ResourceGroupName "vnet-gateway" -Location "UK West" -AllocationMethod Dynamic
$vnet = New-AzVirtualNetwork -AddressPrefix "10.254.0.0/27" -Location "UK West" -Name vnet-gateway -ResourceGroupName "vnet-gateway" -Subnet $subnet
$subnet = Get-AzVirtualNetworkSubnetConfig -name 'gatewaysubnet' -VirtualNetwork $vnet
$ngwipconfig = New-AzVirtualNetworkGatewayIpConfig -Name ngwipconfig -SubnetId $subnet.Id -PublicIpAddressId $ngwpip.Id
Once the dependencies are created, we used the below Start-Job cmdlet for the creation of Virtual Network Gateway:
$RG = "xx"
$Location = "xx"
$gwipconf = "xx"
$VNGW = "xx"
Start-Job {
New-AzVirtualNetworkGateway -Name $args[3] -ResourceGroupName $args[0] -Location $ args[1] -GatewayType Vpn -VpnType RouteBased -GatewaySku VpnGw1 -Asn 65511 -IpConfigurations $ args[2] -EnableBgp $True
} -ArgumentList #($RG, $Location, $gwipconf, $VNGW)
Using Script in Start-Job:
Here, we have created a PowerShell file (gateway.ps1) & stored in local machine which contains the dependent resources creation followed by virtual network gateway creation(using the start-job).
New-AzResourceGroup -Location "UK West" -Name "vnet-gateway"
$subnet = New-AzVirtualNetworkSubnetConfig -Name 'gatewaysubnet' -AddressPrefix '10.254.0.0/27'
$ngwpip = New-AzPublicIpAddress -Name ngwpip -ResourceGroupName "vnet-gateway" -Location "UK West" -AllocationMethod Dynamic
$vnet = New-AzVirtualNetwork -AddressPrefix "10.254.0.0/27" -Location "UK West" -Name vnet-gateway -ResourceGroupName "vnet-gateway" -Subnet $subnet
$subnet = Get-AzVirtualNetworkSubnetConfig -name 'gatewaysubnet' -VirtualNetwork $vnet
$ngwipconfig = New-AzVirtualNetworkGatewayIpConfig -Name ngwipconfig -SubnetId $subnet.Id -PublicIpAddressId $ngwpip.Id
New-AzVirtualNetworkGateway -Name myNGW -ResourceGroupName vnet-gateway -Location "UK West" -IpConfigurations $ngwIpConfig -GatewayType "Vpn" -VpnType "RouteBased" -GatewaySku "Basic" -CustomRoute 192.168.0.0/24
Now, We have passed the above powershell script file path as an argument to the Start-job to create VPN gateway:
start-job -filepath \<pathofPowershellScript>
Here is the sample output for the reference :

Can't create a Databricks from a powershell script

My issue
Can't create a databricks from script. Always getting this error message:
Private and public subnets should be unique for the Virtual Network
'/subscriptions/XXXX/resourceGroups/rgtest64/providers/Microsoft.Network/virtualNetworks/vnet64'.
Public subnet name: 'privsub64', Private subnet name:
| 'privsub64'
How to reproduce
Just running this script:
$location="westeurope"
$rg = "rgtest64"
$vnet = "vnet64"
New-AzResourceGroup -name $rg -Location westeurope
$dlg = New-AzDelegation -Name dbrdl -ServiceName "Microsoft.Databricks/workspaces"
$rdpRule = New-AzNetworkSecurityRuleConfig -Name rdp-rule -Description "Allow RDP" -Access Allow `
-Protocol Tcp -Direction Inbound -Priority 100 -SourceAddressPrefix Internet `
-SourcePortRange * -DestinationAddressPrefix * -DestinationPortRange 3389
$networkSecurityGroup = New-AzNetworkSecurityGroup -ResourceGroupName $rg `
-Location $location -Name nsg-test -SecurityRules $rdpRule
$privSubnet = New-AzVirtualNetworkSubnetConfig -Name privsub64 -AddressPrefix "10.0.1.0/24" `
-NetworkSecurityGroup $networkSecurityGroup -Delegation $dlg
$pubSubnet = New-AzVirtualNetworkSubnetConfig -Name pubsub64 -AddressPrefix "10.0.2.0/24" `
-NetworkSecurityGroup $networkSecurityGroup -Delegation $dlg
$testVN = New-AzVirtualNetwork -Name $vnet -ResourceGroupName $rg `
-Location $location -AddressPrefix "10.0.0.0/16" -Subnet $privSubnet,$pubSubnet
New-AzDatabricksWorkspace -Name databricks-test-with-custom-vn -ResourceGroupName $rg -Location $location `
-VirtualNetworkId $testVN.Id -PrivateSubnetName $privSubnet.Name -PublicSubnetName `
$privSubnet.Name -Sku standard
PSVersion: 7.1.3
PSEdition: Core
What I tested
I tested the script on several subscriptions.
I also tried without creating the subnets, same result.
I tested from an ARM template, same result.
It is working if I don't reference any VNET, but for internal reasons I need to impose a specific VNET.
What I need
Understanding what happen, and what to do
Everything was working until a few days ago. I don't understand
thanks
According to the error, your public subnet,s name and your private subnet name are the same. Whew we deploy Databricks workspace into vnet, the two subnets should be different. Please update your script as
New-AzDatabricksWorkspace -Name databricks-test-with-custom-vn -ResourceGroupName $rg -Location $location `
-VirtualNetworkId $testVN.Id -PrivateSubnetName $privSubnet.Name -PublicSubnetName `
$pubSubnet.Name -Sku standard
.
The whole script is as below
$location="westeurope"
$rg = "rgtest64"
$vnet = "vnet64"
New-AzResourceGroup -name $rg -Location westeurope

Everything runs fine, but when it gets to the end, the New-AzureRmVM script never returns or exits. If I disconnect my machine from the net, I'll get a message about a long running process, but other than that, the shell appears to be locked up.
Any ideas how to get the command to exit so I can reuse the shell?

Associate NSG to Subnets in foreach loop Powershell

I've created a small script which creates subnets, I can then pass them through a loop and create network security groups (nsg) with the name of the subnet + -nsg, but when I try to associate the nsg to the subnet it fails saying the nsg doesn't exist. So i created two small scripts and split the create nsg from the associate nsg, but again same error.
Error:
Set-AzureNetworkSecurityGroupToSubnet : ResourceNotFound : The Network Security Group nsg-test-nsg does not exist.
But this does definitely exist.
The code I have is:
$resource = "rg-subnets"
$vnetName = "vnet-bmg"
$loc = "West Europe"
$vnet = Get-AzureRmVirtualNetwork -ResourceGroupName $resource -Name $vnetName
$sub = (Get-AzureRmVirtualNetworkSubnetConfig -VirtualNetwork $vnet).name
foreach ($subnet in $sub){
New-AzureRmNetworkSecurityGroup -Name $subnet-nsg -ResourceGroupName $resource -Location $loc -Force
Set-AzureNetworkSecurityGroupToSubnet -Name $subnet-nsg -VirtualNetworkName $vnetName -SubnetName $subnet
}
Help! :)
This worked for me,
$resource = "rg-subnets"
$vnetName = "vnet-bmg"
$loc = "West Europe"
$vnet = Get-AzureRmVirtualNetwork -ResourceGroupName $resource -Name $vnetName
$sub = (Get-AzureRmVirtualNetworkSubnetConfig -VirtualNetwork $vnet).name
foreach ($subnet in $sub){
New-AzureRmNetworkSecurityGroup -Name $subnet-nsg -ResourceGroupName $resource -Location $loc -Force
$subnetName = Get-AzureRmVirtualNetworkSubnetConfig -VirtualNetwork $vnet -Name $subnet
$nsg = Get-AzureRmNetworkSecurityGroup -ResourceGroupName $resource -Name "$subnet-nsg"
$subnetName.NetworkSecurityGroup = $nsg
Set-AzureRmVirtualNetwork -VirtualNetwork $vnet -Verbose
}
