I'm unable to deploy this NESTED template because of an Custom Script Extension (CompDesc) that I've added to it. I am prompted with the following error when trying to deploy:
Error: Code=InvalidTemplate; Message=Deployment template validation failed: 'The template resource 'CompDesc' for type 'Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines/extensions' at line '207' and column '6' has incorrect segment lengths. A nested resource type must have identical number of segments as its resource name. A root resource type must have segment length one greater than its resource name. Please see https://aka.ms/arm-template/#resources for usage details.'.
As you can see it already has a DSC extension which I have tested and deployed perfectly fine, but I also need to add this CSE for a small .ps1 script.
I have checked out: Azure website resource template error and Set ARM Template Web appSetting
I have tried:
- changing the
nameto 1 word - changing the
typeto 1 word - changing the
nameto[concat(parameters('vmName'),'/extension')] - changing the
typetoMicrosoft.Compute/virtualMachines/extensions - nested the resource inside the VM resource, and then changed the
nameandtypeto one of the varieties I've tried - removed the CSE from the VM resource and placed it on its own (as it is now shown), and then changed the
nameandtypeto one of the varieties I've tried
I know it has something to do with the naming convention, but I'm unsure on how to fix it. Bear in mind, that this is a nested template. From what I read and understand from the error, nested templates must have identical segments as its resource name, which I've tried.
Please, any ideas?
