How to connect Azure Arc "azcmagent connect" non-interactively?

Question

The "azcmagent connect" command to connect a machine to Azure expects manual interaction to complete the connection.

Looking at the docs, for non-interactive apps, we can use access-token. Tried that, got the token using "Get-AzAccessToken", but doesn't seem to work.

Any ideas on how to connect non-interactively?

Hi Zambre,Akash,

To connect Azure Arc using azcmagent connect non-interactively, you can use a service principal with a secret. Here's an example command:

azcmagent connect --subscription-id "YOUR_SUBSCRIPTION_ID" --resource-group "YOUR_RESOURCE_GROUP" --location "YOUR_REGION" --service-principal-id "YOUR_SERVICE_PRINCIPAL_ID" --service-principal-secret "YOUR_SERVICE_PRINCIPAL_SECRET" --tenant-id "YOUR_TENANT_ID"

Replace the placeholders with your actual subscription ID, resource group, location, service principal ID, service principal secret, and tenant ID[_{{{CITATION{{{_1{azcmagent connect CLI reference - Azure Arc | Microsoft Learn](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-arc/servers/azcmagent-connect).
