Azure DSC Invalid Command

Hi -

I am unable to get the OctopusDSC to work installing a tentacle. I keep getting invalid command with the API key. Appreciate it if anyone has an ideas?

Thanks,
John

Hi John,

Thanks for the question. Just looking at the arguments passed to tentacle, publicHostName has no value:
register-with --instance Tentacle --server URL --name hostname –publicHostName --apiKey API-12345678 --comms-style TentaclePassive --force --console --environment Dev --role web

From the script it looks like that value should be the machine’s public ip address. Maybe that machine doesn’t have a public ip or there was a problem getting it?

Cheers,
Shane
