Following the announcement about the retirement of TLS 1.0 and 1.1 support, I tried to update the minimum TLS version on one of my storage accounts to 1.2 (via the Azure Portal).
It failed with the following error:
Failed to update storage account '(redacted)'. Error: Managed Service Identity (MSI) was not found for resource ''.
As far as I can tell, there's nothing special about this storage account. Here are its main properties:
I have successfully updated all my other storage accounts, the error only occurs for this one.
I tried to update it via PowerShell, but it gave the same error.
Any idea what could be causing this and how to fix it?
Thanks

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum! Thanks for posting your query!
The error message "Managed Service Identity (MSI) was not found for resource" typically indicates that the Managed Identity associated with your Azure Storage Account is either not enabled or not properly configured. Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the issue:
- Verify that the Managed Identity has the necessary permissions to update the storage account. It should have the required roles assigned, such as
Storage Account Contributor. - If the Managed identity is not in use for the storage account, could you please remove or delete it from the storage account.
Kindly let me know if this helps!

Storage Account Contributor. If the Managed identity is not in use for the storage account, could you please remove or delete it from the storage account.How do I do that? As far as I know there's no managed identity associated with a storage account?
I never did anything related to managed identity to that storage account. Or any other storage account, for that matter, but I didn't have any issue updating the others.I'm really confused about this... also, the error message clearly looks like a bug, it refers to resource '' (empty string).
