I created a VM long time ago and selected to install some basic extensions, and till now some of these VMs still has status as "Running (Installing Extensions)" and this prevent me from doing some automation activities based on VM status as "Running",
I checked the WAapAgent log file inside one of my VMs which is a DC & DNS (it is already used as a DNS Server for the vNET that it is hosted in West Europe region), and found error in logs related to Name Resoulution as follows, although I tried to do browsing from this VM and it is working fine, so not sure what can be the problem.
