I get an error when I try to create an image as in the training from a generalized VM

Hi Mohamed,

Thank you for reaching out to us on Microsoft Q&A forum.  

We would appreciate it if you could share the error message along with screenshots for better understanding.

I tried both windows and Linux, and I got the same error in both:

az image create --name MyVMIMage --source MyUbuntuVM

(OperationNotAllowed) Creation of managed images are not supported for virtual machine with TrustedLaunch security type.

Code: OperationNotAllowed

Message: Creation of managed images are not supported for virtual machine with TrustedLaunch security type.

Hi Mohamed,

Thank you for bringing up the issue on the Q&A forum.

We're collaborating with our internal team and will reach out to you soon.

I had the same error while doing the exercise Exercise - Create an image of an Azure VM from the Azure CLI and provision a new VM, but I was able to find a workaround.
Instead of deployig the source vm cith the CLI I deployed the VM manually from the portal, and in the Basics tab I set the "Security type" to Standard.

Then when I got to the "Create a virtual machine image" step I got another error due to the

I had to add the "hyper-v-generation" parameter to the "az image create command" as follows:

az image create --name MyVMImage --source MyWindowsVM --hyper-v-generation V2

It seems the default if not specified is V1, but that did the trick.

I hope this helps!
