Pipeline consists of two agents:

I have tried using values in each filed and variables in each field, the same error is the result.

May be related to these two issues with the Azure CLI.

Azure/azure-cli#15391
Azure/azure-cli#15431

@juteasl What's the agent specification for Provision Ephemeral Agent Job? I have switched the agent to VS2017-win2016 and it seems to work. It also works on ubuntu-20.04

[juteasl]

Thank you! That is what it was.

OK, so this is bizarre... It worked ONCE after changing it to VS2017-win2016 and running the pipeline. It then failed on the next run with this same message again:

Edit:

I'm not sure what was happening or why it worked once with VS2017-win2016, but I switched it to 20.04 and it is working as I expected and hoped!! I will go ahead and close this issue, but leave the information for others to reference.
