I'm trying to change the automated tasks we have set for our vms to start and stop at different times then are currently set. When i try to edit the tasks or create new tasks i get the below error. This is with all of our VMs linux and Windows same error.
Failed to create automation task 'Auto_Start-feith-dev-ah-us-e-ah-vm' : 'The workflow connection parameter 'azurevm' is not valid. The API connection 'azurevm' is configured to support managed identity but the connection parameter is either missing 'authentication' property in connection properties or authentication type is not 'ManagedServiceIdentity'.'.
