How can we disable vTPM(Trusted platform module) for Windows Virtual machine using powershell script

Question

We are trying to move our windows 11 VM from one cluster to another which requires vTPM (Trusted platform module) to be disabled. After re-enabling vTPM after performing the migration we get tmp error - C0090016, TPM has malfunctioned Microsoft 365 Sign-in Error

Is there a way to disable vTPM using powershell for windows 11 rather than doing on VM security setting from azure portal.

Hi ishan saxena ,

Thank you for reaching out us on Microsoft Q&A forum.

You can follow below PowerShell command to disable vTPM on a windows 11 VM when hosted in a Azure environment. You need to modify UEFI properties of a Virtual Machine.

$VM = Get-AzVM -ResourceGroupName "<your resource group name>" -VMName "<your VM name>" Set-AzVMUefi -VM $VM -EnableVtpm $false -EnableSecureBoot $false

You can use the above PowerShell command and modify the input values based on your requirement before executing the command.

You can follow below documentation for more information ;
