Manage Windows Server instances and workloads in a hybrid environment

HOTSPOT –

You have an Azure Automation account named AA1 in a resource group named RG1.

You have an Azure Arc-enabled server named Server1 that runs Windows Server and is in a resource group named RG2.

You have a User Hybrid Runbook Worker group named Group1. Server1 is registered as a worker in Group1.

You store the service URL required by the Hybrid Runbook Worker extension for AA1 in a variable named $connectionValue.

You need to install the Hybrid Worker extension on Server1.

How should you complete the PowerShell script?

Select
$settings = @{
    "" = $connectionValue
}

    -ResourceGroupName "RG2"
    -Location "eastus"
    -MachineName "Server1"
    -Name "HybridWorkerExtension"
    -Publisher "Microsoft.Azure.Automation.HybridWorker"
    -ExtensionType HybridWorkerForWindows
    -TypeHandlerVersion 1.1
    -Setting $settings
    -NoWait
    -EnableAutomaticUpgrade
Explanation

Because Server1 is an Azure Arc-enabled server rather than a native Azure virtual machine, its extensions are deployed and managed as Connected Machine resources, and the corresponding Az PowerShell cmdlet for installing an extension on such a machine is New-AzConnectedMachineExtension; New-AzVMExtension applies only to true Azure VM resources and cannot target an Arc machine. The HybridWorkerExtension for Windows expects its automation hybrid service URL to be supplied through a settings object whose key is literally "AutomationAccountURL", populated with the automation account's hybrid service URL value (the URL retrieved from the automation account and referenced here as $connectionValue). Supplying this key with the extension's other fixed parameters (publisher Microsoft.Azure.Automation.HybridWorker, extension type HybridWorkerForWindows) registers Server1 as an extension-based hybrid worker for automation account AA1.
