I am trying to reset azure vm (both windows and linux) password using python as part of automation.Does azure.mgmt.compute module support VM password rotation. If so please help me with a basic snippet.
when ever I try to do :
compute_client.virtual_machines.begin_update( resource_group_name, vm_name, { 'osProfile': { 'adminPassword': new_password } } ).wait()
Password is getting reset but am not able to login with old or new password

Hi @vaishnavav99 You can use the following code to reset the password.
For linux:
from azure.mgmt.compute.models import VirtualMachineExtension
response = client.virtual_machine_extensions.begin_create_or_update(
resource_group_name={resource_group_name},
vm_name={vm_name},
vm_extension_name='enablevmaccess',
extension_parameters=VirtualMachineExtension(
location={location},
protected_settings={'username': {username}, 'password': {password}}))
For Windows:
response = client.virtual_machine_extensions.begin_create_or_update(
resource_group_name={resource_group_name},
vm_name={vm_name},
vm_extension_name='enablevmaccess',
extension_parameters=VirtualMachineExtension(
location={location},
publisher='Microsoft.Compute',
type_properties_type='VMAccessAgent',
type_handler_version='2.4',
protected_settings={'password': {password}},
settings={'userName': {username}}))
