Required parameter 'adminPassword' is missing (null).

  • 아티클

In case you have not read the article which led to this one, check it out here “How to use ARM templates for deployments”.  Once I resolved the previous 2 bumps:

The final action was to provide an admin password for my VMs.  image

Figure1 – failed deployment using an Azure ARM template

When I clicked on the ‘Operations details’ I saw the following output as the cause of the failure.

 
{
 "error": {
 "code": "InvalidParameter",
 "target": "adminPassword",
 "message": "Required parameter 'adminPassword' is missing (null)."
 }
}

I am not a security expert, but I can see why those who make the security decisions would not include the password to an already created VM via a link within the portal.  Therefore, searching through the template I found the following and thought a good place for the adminPassword would be right after the adminUsername and therefore, replaced the following:

 
"osProfile": { 
 "computerName": "[parameters('virtualMachines_HCM001_name')]", 
 "adminUsername": "HCMAdmin", 
 "windowsConfiguration": 
 { 
   "provisionVMAgent": true, 
   "enableAutomaticUpdates": true 
 },    
  ...

with this:

 
"osProfile": {
  "computerName": "[parameters('virtualMachines_HCM001_name')]", 
  "adminUsername": "HCMAdmin",  
  "adminPassword": "P@ssw0rd",
  "windowsConfiguration": { 
    "provisionVMAgent": true, 
    "enableAutomaticUpdates": true },
  ...

And that completed the journey.

Although a little challenging, this is possible and actually quite fulflling to solve the issues and be successful.
