    It works the same way whether you use Bash (Az CLI) or Powershell. I don't use Az CLI a lot, so I don't know the commands and parameters.

     

    The OUPath parameter is doing exactly that.

I suppose you are refering to a Windows VM image. You should add a Joindomain extension to the Windows VM, using az vm extension set. This, of course, requires domain credentials to allow a VM to join the domain.

 

You can help the community if you post your bash script (without domain info).

    Oh yes, sure.
    This is the script that I am using right now as base of it (after using az login and after changing to the right subscription (where I do want to deploy the VM). But I do not know the right syntax in order to make the VM to join the domain, unfurtunately.
    Let me show you in the screenshot.

    When I run this command, I receive this error: "argument --public-ip-address: expected one argument"

      If you don't want to a assign a public IP address, you should remove the argument and not just assign an empty value otherwise put in a name for the PIP (or resource id for existing PIP).
