Task "Stop VM" failing on "Authorized"

faithlyn patterson 0

I set up a stop/deallocate task for some vm's to stop them on Saturdays and Sundays because I have a start vm task that starts them every day. The stop/deallocate is not working and giving me the following error:

"error": {    "code": "InvalidAuthenticationTokenTenant",    "message": "The access token is from the wrong issuer

I either need to add a "weekdays only" option in my start or be able to stop them on Saturdays and Sundays with the auto task "stop/deallocate".

Hi faithlyn patterson,

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A Platform! Thank you for asking your question here.

Based on your query, the error "InvalidAuthenticationTokenTenant" indicates that the access token is issued by the wrong Azure Active Directory tenant.

We would like to know few things which specific Azure Automation tasks you are using in the portal? Are you using an automation account tasks or a runbook and any custom script?

Could you please let us know, this information will help us assist you more effectively

Hi faithlyn patterson,
If you had chance reviewed my previous comment
In the meantime, if you want to stop the VM on weekends, you need to use an Azure Automation account and create a Runbook. In that Runbook, paste your custom script, and you can schedule it based on your requirements. Please refer to the documentation below on how to set up an Automation account and Runbook."
Quickstart: Create an Automation account using the Azure portal
Tutorial: Create a PowerShell Workflow runbook in Automation

Please let us know if you face any difficulties setting up the automation account and runbook, and we will assist you as needed.!

Hello Akshay,

Sorry for the delay in answering.

I am using the "DeAllocate Virtual Machine" automation task.

I am using an automation task, not a runbook.

Thanks,
