Azure ARM Template: “ObjectID” with Azure Key vault policy assignment

Samir Farhat Azure, Microsoft Azure, Uncategorized , ,

Hi all,

When you author ARM Templates, and you are deploying a Key Vault and setting the Access Policies via the template, be careful about the content of the objectID.

  "accessPolicies" : [                    {                        "tenantId": "xxxxx-30d9-xxxxx-8015-ddddddd",                        "objectId": "rrrrr-tttt-rrrr-rrrr-tttttt",                        "permissions": {
               "keys": ["all"],
               "secrets": ["all"] 
                }
                    },

If you are assigning the policy to a user account, use the objectId value found on Azure AD:

If you are assigning the policy to a Service Principal, use the ObjectID of the Application that you can get from the Enterprise Application blade, and not the App Registration blade.

Delete Azure Backup Restore Points collections error : InternalOperationError goal seeking tasks failed

Samir Farhat Azure, Uncategorized , ,

Hi,

During an operation to move Azure resources between Subscriptions (Or resource groups), we were obliged to delete the “Microsoft.Compute/restorePointCollections” in order to be able to move VMs protected by a Backup policy, as described here

Unfortunately, when deleting the
“Microsoft.Compute/restorePointCollections” resources, we were hit by the following error.

 {X} goal seeking tasks failed.

It took us time to figure out that trying to delete the same resources multiple times ends by a successful operations. But because each operation took about 1 minute, it will be a waste of time of doing it by hand.

So today, i’m sharing with you a Powershell script that will allow you to make all the deletion operations, in parallel!!
