I am trying to create an ARM template which creates 2 resource groups, and then deploys vNets and creates a peering between them. The vNet peering resource in the template is not working. I keep getting the same error and I believe it's because i'm trying to create a peering with a VNET which is in a different VNET/Resource group than the one i'm deploying into.
I am using nested templates to deploy into separate resource groups.
