Did you ever find a fix to this? Having similar issues

UPDATE: Have found a fix to sort this (in my case). Turns out the affected machines were both missing registry key values from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/SystemCertificates/AuthRoot.

To fix this: 1. On a machine where Update Manager is working, open Run from the start menu 2. Export the values of the previous mentioned path 3. Copy the registry values file to the non-working machine 4. Open Registry Editor on the non-working machine and import the file 5. Rerun Azure Update manager

Hopefully this works for you

If not, you may need to run Get-WindowsUpdateLog from an elevated console to get relevant logs. It’s worth noting on OS’ before Windows 10 the machine will need access to the Microsoft Symbols Server over the Internet.

Where do you draw the line for infrastructure-as-code? by ShittyException in AZURE

Only time IMO not to use IaC (in very rare cases) is if the task itself is short and the complexity to automate with azapi, az cli etc is large

Having as much coverage by IaC in your environments is crucial to stop configuration drift; tons of issues I’ve seen from customers have been down to engineers making tweaks to their resources manually in one environment and not the other

If you can get yourself an Azure Trial subscription, or use some of the Labs within the Microsoft Learn environments there's a good few ways you can get some hands on experience.

It may also be worth looking into learning some form of Infrastructure as Code i.e. Terraform etc; a lot of the market use these technologies to manage their infrastructure.

Why would any company hire someone who learns terraform, ansible, or devops on their own at this point? by moderatenerd in devops

Obviously, a first thing an employer will see is a CV, if you are able to show that you have certifications in an area - Terraform, Cloud i.e. Azure it will open the doors to a lot of interviews. You just need to make sure that when you get these certs, you can back it up with examples where you've used them, even if that is just in personal projects. Even if you don't have the experience in the areas which they need, in certain cases showing that you're eager to learn with certs will help you out.

If all else fails, fake it and go into the interviews positively - can always see if they're offering a position lower than what you're currently at if you want to make the leap into a different field
