Unable to Create VM: Internal Error "ImageManagementOperationError"

Question

From @RonPenlington via Twitter:

"Hello, we are unable to create a WS 2012 R2 with SQL 2012 SP2 Enterprise image in our Azure subscriptions. While provisioning the image from the gallery it halts on the VM creation step with error InternalServerError and the following:

"STATUSMESSAGE{ "error": { "code": "ImageManagementOperationError", "target": "imageReference", "message": "An internal error occurred in an image related operation."

Thanks,

@AzureSupport

Answer 1

We've tried this on a pay as you go as well as two separate MSDN Enterprise Azure subscriptions and all result in the same error with this VM image.

Answer 2

This was due to an issue that has now been mitigated by Engineers.
