Not able to Provision Azure Virtual Desktop using Rest APIs

siddalinga 0

Dear Microsoft Community,

I am trying to build a POC for AVD(Azure Virtual Desktop) Provisioning using REST APIs.

I learned, for Provisioning a AVD, we need to complete few steps.

Create Security Group (for Users, Administrators)
Create Resource Group
Create Virtual Network
Create Sub Network
Create Network Interface
Create HostPool
Create Session Host (Virtual Machine) in the Hostpool
Create Hostpool Application Group
Create Hostpool Work Space
Add Security Groups to HostPool Application Group
Add Resource Group IAM Roles (user, admin) to Security Group

Using Microsoft Azure RestAPIs I am able to complete 1st to 6th step.

When I am running the 7th step (For Create Session Host (Virtual Machine) in the Hostpool) the API status is Success but Session Host (VM) is not creating in the HostPool

Did any one worked on this kind of POC ?

I have followed below links to find the right API for Session Host (VM) creation in the Hostpool but could not get success.

I appreciate your response.

Hi siddalinga,

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

It sounds like you’re encountering an issue with creating a Session Host (Virtual Machine) in the HostPool using Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) REST APIs. To troubleshoot this issue, there are a few steps:

Make sure that the API permissions are correctly set up. The service principal or managed identity you’re using must have the necessary permissions to create resources in the specified resource group and subscription.

Double-check the API request payload for any missing or incorrect parameters. Ensure that all required fields are correctly populated.

Verify that you have not exceeded any quotas or limits for your subscription, such as the number of virtual machines or cores.

Hi Sai Krishna, thank you very much for responding me.

I have tried running the below API. I am getting 201 as response code.

Here are the API details.

Hi siddalinga,

It looks like your request to create the session host was accepted, indicated by the 201 Created status code. The presence of the azure-asyncoperation URL in the response header means the operation is asynchronous, so you’ll need to monitor this URL to track the status of the session host creation.

To check the status, send a GET request to the azure-asyncoperation URL. The response will show whether the operation is InProgress, Succeeded, or Failed. Keep polling until you see a Succeeded status. If it’s Failed, review the error details provided in the response to understand the issue.

For further reference, here are relevant Microsoft documents:
