Azure Server Farm Not Found

Question

I am trying to create an azure website via a powershell script. The hosting plan has already been create, I simply wish to add a new website to it.

The script I'm using is this:

Switch-AzureMode AzureResourceManager

$targetServicePlan = Get-AzureResource -Name my-serviceplan -OutputObjectFormat New

New-AzureResource -Name MyTestSite -Location "West Europe" `
    -ResourceGroupName Default-Web-WestEurope `
    -ResourceType 'Microsoft.Web/sites' `
    -PropertyObject @{"name" = "MyTestSite"; "ServerFarmId" = $targetServicePlan.ResourceId } `
    -OutputObjectFormat New

The server farm ($targetServicePlan) has a resource id, so I'm assuming that it exists (there is also a hosting plan in the azure portal with this name). Yet when I try to create the website I get the error: "Server farm with name my-serviceplan not found."

The full error is:

New-AzureResource : {"Code":"NotFound","Message":"Server farm with name my-serviceplan not found.","Target":null,"Details":[{"Message":"Server farm with name
my-serviceplan not found."},{"Code":"NotFound"},{"ErrorEntity":{"Code":"NotFound","Message":"Server farm with name my-serviceplan not
found.","ExtendedCode":"11001","MessageTemplate":"Server farm with name {0} not found.","Parameters":["my-serviceplan"],"InnerErrors":null}}],"Innererror":null}

    + CategoryInfo          : CloseError: (:) [New-AzureResource], ErrorResponseMessageException

What am I missing?

Answer 1

Is your $targetServicePlan in 'West Europe'? If not that could be the reason for that not-so-helpful error.
