Hi Tomas. I’m starting with Arc. I’ve already completed the official training. In there they also mention DSC as an extension but I’m unable to find it. Is such extension deprecated perhaps?

In reply to anon ymous. Yes, you will need to activate it from the Update Management in the Azure Automation account for now. (Just first time activation) Since this is not available on the Azure Arc enable Server page yet. After you have activated it, you will be able to see and manage updates on the Azure Arc enabled Server page.

‘UpdateManagement’ solution enablement for Azure Arc machines is not supported from the Azure Portal experience at this time.

Hi Thomas,
Please could you confirm that Update Management can be enabled on ARC Servers and what eventually what steps are required ? For example, They aren’t showed in Azure Automation Update Management. Is it required to install Log Analytic agent ?

Hi Thomas,

I am testing Update Management on arc enabled servers but i can not find a way to use the tags for scoping update deployments to the arc enabled servers. When i select the subscription and tag, no arc enabled are servers are being targeted. Am I doing something wrong or is it not supported ?

In reply to Ruben Correa. Hi Ruben This is an interesting use case :) Currently, that is not possible, but would be interesting. I will forward your feedback to the team :)

Hi Thomas,

I was wondering if the Azure Arc Agent will allow us to have some insight into On-prem windows servers with Azure Advisor, in regards to rightsizing recommendations?

Thanks,

In reply to Sebastian. great that you are trying Azure Arc. Since, we are in public preview it looks like you did hit a bug. I think I have seen something like this before. I recommend that you open up a support ticket, so the team can get the logs to find out what is wrong.

Hi, Thomas,
I am testing Azure Arc right now and have an Ubuntu 16.04. test machine on GCP. I was also able to successfully install the Azure Arc Agent (Connected Machine), the machine sends heartbeats and I was able to add it to the update and inventory management and change tracking. What does not work: Monitoring. When I want to enable Monitoring, Azure tries to install the DependencyAgentLinux Extension Version 9.10. 4.10090 on the machine and this failed. Without a concrete error message. Ubuntu 16.04. is supported according to Supported OS List. If the monitoring would still work well, we would like to use Arc in a larger, heterogeneous customer environment.

I would be very happy about a hint what the problem might be.
