Error: Code="VMExtensionProvisioningError" JsonADDomainExtension - windows

Question

I have terraform script which make a domain join with the code below:
resource "azurerm_virtual_machine_extension" "join-domain" {
name = azurerm_virtual_machine.client.name
virtual_machine_id = azurerm_virtual_machine.client.id
// resource_group_name = var.resource_group_name
//virtual_machine_name = azurerm_virtual_machine.client.name
publisher = "Microsoft.Compute"
type = "JsonADDomainExtension"
type_handler_version = "1.3"
# NOTE: the `OUPath` field is intentionally blank, to put it in the Computers OU
settings = <<SETTINGS
{
"Name": "${var.active_directory_domain}",
"OUPath": "",
"User": "${var.active_directory_domain}\\${var.active_directory_username}",
"Restart": "true",
"Options": "3"
}
SETTINGS
protected_settings = <<SETTINGS
{
"Password": "${var.active_directory_password}"
}
SETTINGS
depends_on = ["null_resource.wait-for-domain-to-provision"]
}
After the code run, it gets the error below in Terraform:
Error: Code="VMExtensionProvisioningError" Message="VM has reported a failure when processing extension 'pocvde-client'. Error message: \"Exception(s) occured while joining Domain 'pocvde.local'\"\r\n\r\nMore information on troubleshooting is available at https://aka.ms/vmextensionwindowstroubleshoot "

I have checked the windows client logs in C:\WindowsAzure\Logs\Plugins\Microsoft.Compute.JsonADDomainExtension, i got the trace below:

I have changed the client vm OS from DataCenter-16 to Windows 10, i got still same error. Increased the waiting time before domain join operation from 12 minutes to 24 minutes, nothing changed.
Do you have any idea?

Answer 1

I saw that the Domain Controller was not set correctly, after solving that domain join operation is done correctly and that solved my problem
