Not able to Provision Azure Virtual Desktop using Rest APIs

Question

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.

1. Create Security Group (for Users, Administrators)
2. Create Resource Group
3. Create Virtual Network
4. Create Sub Network
5. Create Network Interface
6. Create HostPool
7. Create Session Host (Virtual Machine) in the Hostpool
8. Create Hostpool Application Group
9. Create Hostpool Work Space
10. Add Security Groups to HostPool Application Group
11. 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.

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.
