Hello, I have a case here were I need to create VMs with a name based on a sequence and that sequence will generate numbers from 01 to 05 for example. When I use the same sequence with azure\_rm\_networkinterface and azure\_rm\_securitygroup, is works fine and uses the same value for the name. Once I get to that part, the vmName gets all his 0 replaced by 8=\*, so yeah, eight asterisk. I’ve also hardcode the VM part with a static value, with vmtestelab111, so then the error message about the vmName goes away. But then again I get an error about the sku, which contains 0. So is it really an issue with the module ? Or I’m doing something wrong ? At the bottom the original error message. - name: “get {{vmadminuser}} password” command: \> az keyvault secret show --vault-name “{{ keyvault.name }}” --name “{{ vmadminuser }}” --query “{token: value}” no\_log: true register: pass - debug: msg: “nsg{{vmName}}” - name: Create security group azure\_rm\_securitygroup: resource\_group: “{{ rg\_name }}” name: “nsg{{ vmName }}” rules: - name: “rdp” protocol: Tcp destination\_port\_range: 3389 source\_address\_prefix: “{{srcAddressPrefix}}” access: Allow priority: 100 direction: Inbound - name: “winrm” protocol: Tcp destination\_port\_range: 5589 source\_address\_prefix: “{{srcAddressPrefix}}” access: Allow priority: 101 direction: Inbound - debug: msg: “nic{{vmName}}” - name: Create NIC azure\_rm\_networkinterface: resource\_group: “{{ rg\_name }}” name: “nic{{ vmName }}” virtual\_network: “{{ env[envName].vnet.ressourceid }}” subnet: “{{ env[envName].subnet.name }}” public\_ip\_name: None ip\_configurations: - name: ipconfig1 primary: True security\_group: “nsg{{ vmName }}” os\_type: “{{ srvtype[os].os }}” - debug: msg: “{{vmName}}” - name: Create VM azure\_rm\_virtualmachine: resource\_group: “{{ rg\_name }}” name: “vmtestelab111” admin\_username: “{{ vmadminuser }}” admin\_password: “{{ pass }}” image: offer: “{{ srvtype[os].offer }}” publisher: “{{ srvtype[os].publisher }}” sku: “{{ srvtype[os].sku }}” version: “{{ srvtype[os].version }}” vm\_size: Standard\_D2s\_v3 managed\_disk\_type: Standard\_LRS network\_interfaces: “nic{{ vmName }}” os\_type: “{{ srvtype[os].os}}” tags: niveau\_service: “{{ niveau\_service }}” changed\_when: false { “\_ansible\_parsed”: true, “invocation”: { “module\_args”: { “virtual\_network\_resource\_group”: null, “resource\_group”: “rgtestelab**1", “public\_ip\_allocation\_method”: “Static”, “image”: { “sku”: "2**16-Datacenter”, “publisher”: “MicrosoftWindowsServer”, “version”: “2 **16.127.2** 18**613", “offer”: “WindowsServer” }, “secret”: null, “managed\_disk\_type”: “Standard\_LRS”, “ssh\_public\_keys”: null, “storage\_container\_name”: “vhds”, “allocated”: true, “ssh\_password\_enabled”: true, “storage\_blob\_name”: null, “remove\_on\_absent”: [ “all” ], “availability\_set”: null, “append\_tags”: true, “cloud\_environment”: null, “cert\_validation\_mode”: null, “short\_hostname”: null, “virtual\_network\_name”: null, “state”: “present”, “subnet\_name”: null, “admin\_password”: " **‘stderr\_lines’: , ‘changed’: True, ‘end’: ‘2** 18-8-2 18:\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*:21.8155’, ‘stdout’: '**\n\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\n\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*’, ‘cmd’: [‘**', ' **’, ‘**', ' **’, ‘**', 'kvlabapp **1’, ‘**', ' **’, ‘**', '**’], ‘rc’:**, ‘failed’: False, ‘stderr’: ‘’, ‘delta’: '**‘, ‘stdout\_lines’: [’**', ' **', ‘**'], ‘start’: ' **’**", “network\_interface\_names”: [ "nicvmtestelab **1** 2" ], “subscription\_id”: null, “location”: null, “profile”: null, “tags”: { “niveau\_service”: “9a5” }, “started”: true, “open\_ports”: null, “restarted”: false, “plan”: null, “client\_id”: null, “auth\_source”: null, “vm\_size”: “Standard\_D2s\_v3”, “password”: null, “tenant”: null, “name”: "vmtestelab **1** 2", “ad\_user”: null, “network\_interfaces”: "nicvmtestelab **1** 2", “admin\_username”: “VALUE\_SPECIFIED\_IN\_NO\_LOG\_PARAMETER”, “custom\_data”: null, “api\_profile”: “latest”, “os\_type”: “Windows”, “storage\_account\_name”: null, “data\_disks”: null, “os\_disk\_caching”: “ReadOnly” } }, “changed”: false, “\_ansible\_no\_log”: false, “msg”: "Error creating or updating virtual machine vmtestelab**1\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*2 - Azure Error: InvalidParameter\nMessage: The supplied password must be between 8-123 characters long and must satisfy at least 3 of password complexity requirements from the following: \r\n1) Contains an uppercase character\r\n2) Contains a lowercase character\r\n3) Contains a numeric digit\r\n4) Contains a special character\r\n5) Control characters are not allowed\nTarget: adminPassword” } ---

I think this is something you should file an issue to change if the other modules accept names like that or it may be this module only accepts names that way. I took a quick look at the issues and did not see anything reported. ---

Yeha, at first I was unsure if it was maybe me. But I did a lot of testing, I was about to create a bug report. Thanks for the confirmation Jonathan! 🙂
