自动化帐户已链接到工作区Azure

Question

I am trying to delete an automation account in Microsoft Azure.

When I run this command below, I get the error below :

Remove-AzureRmResource -ResourceGroupName changed_resource_group_name -ResourceType Microsoft.Automation/automationAccounts -ResourceName changed_resource_name ApiVersion 2015-10-31 -Force

I get the following error :

{
  "code": "Conflict",
  "message": "Automation account is linked to a workspace. SubscriptionId: changed_subscription_id AccountName: changed_automation_ac_name WorkspaceId: /subscriptions/...../providers/microsoft.operationalinsights/workspaces/...."
}

Anybody know how to fix this issue?

Answer 1

If you are using a linked automation account to a Workspace, you need to first remove the solutions in OMS that use the Automation Account.

Azure Automation, Change Tracking and Updates are the solutions that use Automation account.

$automationSolutions = "Updates", "ChangeTracking", "AzureAutomation"

$enabledautomationSolutions = (Get-AzureRmOperationalInsightsIntelligencePacks -ResourceGroupName $workspace.ResourceGroupName -WorkspaceName $workspace.Name).Where({$_.Name -in $AutomationSolutions -and $_.Enabled -eq $true})

Now remove each of the solutions:

foreach ($soln in $enabledAutomationSolutions.Name) {
        Set-AzureRmOperationalInsightsIntelligencePack -ResourceGroupName $workspace.ResourceGroupName -WorkspaceName $workspace.Name -IntelligencePackName $soln -Enabled $false
    }

After that, you can get the Resource ID of the Azure Automation account and delete it:

$automationAccount = Get-AzureRmResource -ResourceId ($workspace.ResourceId + "/linkedServices/automation") -ErrorAction Stop

Remove-AzureRmResource -ResourceId $automationAccount.ResourceId

The MSDN website has a solution to this. Kindly follow the link given below:

MSDN - How to unlink an automation account that is linked to an OMS workspace?

Hope this helps.

There is also this guidance, but in January it was "coming soon":

1. Navigate to the Automation Account that is linked to a workspace
2. Select the Overview node
3. Click the Unlink Workspace command (this is currently not available and the tool tip shows 'coming soon')
