Obtaining the Azure automation reg key via ARM

[mshorrosh]

Hi

Is there a way to obtain the registration key for AA via ARM to pass to the VM DSC Extension instead of running powershell to deploy AA and query for reg key and pass that in as a parameter?

Thanks,
Matt

Hi,

Have you tried https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/resource-group-template-functions/#listkeys?

Hi,

I saw this but the documentation said it was for storage accounts, so I didn't think it would work for pulling Azure Automation's keys. I will give it a shot though later and report back if I have any luck.

I just checked and looks like this isn't possible right now. Will open a bug internally to fix this, in the same way listKeys works for storage accounts.

Hi Joe

Is there any updates on obtaining this reg key via arm rgt functions?

Not yet. I just pinged our dev managers again to request we get this done.

Is there somewhere else we should be tracking the status of this?

Yes, you can track the issue here: https://feedback.azure.com/forums/246290-automation/suggestions/12964470-provide-listkeys-functionality-through-the-api-si. Please upvote the request at that link if this is an important scenario for you so we can better prioritize it.
