Azure Update Manager - Selecting vm for Schedules

Hi Arif Usman

The error message you're seeing, “The selected VM image is not supported for VM Guest patch operations,” means that the Azure SQL VMs you are trying to schedule updates for are using an image that isn't compatible with Azure Update Manager's patch orchestration.

According to the documentation, the Azure SQL VMs using the publisher "microsoftsqlserver" and the offer "sql2022-ws2022" may not be supported for VM Guest patch operations. It's important to ensure that the VM images you are using are listed as supported in the Azure Update Manager's documentation.

If the image you are using is a marketplace image and not a custom image, it is possible that it falls under the category of unsupported images for the operations you are attempting. You may want to review the specific support matrix for Azure Update Manager to confirm the compatibility of the image you are using.

No it is supported image... but i figure it out. If I ran following command in ps, it works

$VirtualMachine = Get-AzVM -ResourceGroupName $rg -Name $vms

Set-AzVMOperatingSystem -VM $VirtualMachine -Windows -PatchMode "AutomaticByPlatform"

$AutomaticByPlatformSettings = $VirtualMachine.OSProfile.WindowsConfiguration.PatchSettings.AutomaticByPlatformSettings

if ($null -eq $AutomaticByPlatformSettings) {

$VirtualMachine.OSProfile.WindowsConfiguration.PatchSettings.AutomaticByPlatformSettings = New-Object -TypeName Microsoft.Azure.Management.Compute.Models.WindowsVMGuestPatchAutomaticByPlatformSettings -Property @{BypassPlatformSafetyChecksOnUserSchedule = $true}

} else {

$AutomaticByPlatformSettings.BypassPlatformSafetyChecksOnUserSchedule = $true

}

Update-AzVM -VM $VirtualMachine -ResourceGroupName $rg
