Hello
I am attempting to deploy sample machine configuration for an Azure arc machine resource following the steps mentioned in https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/governance/machine-configuration/how-to/develop-custom-package/overview except for signing the package. I have uploaded the package to a storage account, when I try to create a custom configuration for the machine, I get error:
The Resource 'Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines/ARC_MACHINE_NAME' under resource group 'my resource group' was not found. For more details please go to https://aka.ms/ARMResourceNotFoundFix
The machine is connected with OS Windows Server 2022 Datacenter. This implies agent is running ok and the configuration can be deployed via the connection. Could you please help explain what this error is indicating and how can I resolve it?
Thanks.

Follow the suggestions in https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/troubleshooting/error-not-found?tabs=bicep That's the URL referenced in the error message

Hi Marcin
The error suggests that a VM resource is not present for the connected ARC machine. The tsg linked suggests that the deployment template is looking for a resource which it cannot find. However, my question is why is the template looking for Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines/ARC_MACHINE_NAME resource when the ARC machine link is connected. I do not see a reason to create a virtual machine with the same name as ARC_MACHINE_NAME. I do not see the creation of this VM as a prerequisite in https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/governance/machine-configuration/how-to/develop-custom-package/overview.
