Answer 1

Hi @Yall

Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Q&A platform.

I am reviewing this internally with Stack HCI Product Team. I will get back with more details shortly.

In the meanwhile, please check this blog https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/fasttrack-for-azure/common-deployment-challenges-and-workarounds-for-hci-23h2/bc-p/4065366/highlight/true

Cause #1

• Get-NetAdapter -InterfaceDescription NDIS | Disable-NetAdapter
• Validation selected error failed
• Error: The resource 'Microsoft.hybridCompute/machines/<ServerName>/providers/microsoft.azurestackhci/edgeDevices/default' could not be found
• Resolution: In most of the cases that I have seen, the issue was with the NDIS network adapter. I suggest disabling the NDIS adapter as well as any other unused adapters during the deployment process you can enable it back once the deployment is complete.

Cause #2

This could also be due to the windows update released on October 11 2022 

Resolution: in each node create the following registry key  #Add reg key for legacy doman join Write-Host "Add legacy domain join registry key" -ForegroundColor Green # Create a new registry key (if it doesn't exist) try{ $RegPath = "HKLM:\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\LSA" $RegValue = "NetJoinLegacyAccountReuse" $RegistryKey = Get-Item -Path $RegPath -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue if ($RegistryKey.GetValueNames() -contains $RegValue) { # Value exists Write-host "Registry Key already exists, skipping" -ForegroundColor Green } else { # Value does not exist New-ItemProperty -Path $regPath -Name $RegValue -Value 1 -PropertyType DWord } } catch{Write-Host "An error occurred: $($_.Exception.Message)"}

Answer 2

On the node-->go to C:\ProgramData\GuestConfig\extension_logs\Microsoft.Edge.DeviceManagementExtension\

see if there is edgedevice.txt file.

Delete this file and it will be auto created in 10 mins.

Rerun the validation and you should be good
