I'm trying to create a windows Azure VM Scale Set that auto provisions a formatted attached data disk using the MS guide here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machine-scale-sets/virtual-machine-scale-sets-attached-disks
No matter what I do I see to get this error:
9:14:16 PM - The deployment 'testvmss' failed with error(s). Showing 1 out of 1 error(s). Status | Message: VM has reported a failure when processing extension 'customScript'. Error message: "Invalid | Configuration - CommandToExecute is not specified in the configuration; it must be specified in either | the protected or public configuration section" More information on troubleshooting is available at | https://aka.ms/VMExtensionCSEWindowsTroubleshoot (Code:VMExtensionProvisioningError) CorrelationId: | 3294f49a-23f0-4634-aba0-3bb0e814659e
I've tried:
- moving the "commandToExecute" into the protected config area
- "typeHandlerVersion" numbers
- moving commandToExecute outside of the "settings" section
- using case corrected "CommandToExecute"
- Simplifying the powershell statement to "powershell echo test"
- Searching google for the error message, better/different examples, etc.
Here is the specific section of the ARM:

}
}
}

}
