Windows 2019 Image creation can't be completed

[dtabolich]

Description

Hi,
I'm trying to build an image for windows-2019 based VM, so I can use it as my own agent in Azure DevOps pipelines.
I've tried few times (~3.5 hr each run) in various Azure regions, but same issue appears.
I'd appreciate if you could suggest some fix/workaround how to bypass it.

Image version and build link

windows-2019

Is it regression?

No

Expected behavior

Using GenerateResourcesAndImage I'd expect I can create a VM image, so I can use it to provision build agent for Azure Pipelines.

Actual behavior

Scripts gets failed due to the 'ResourceExists' issue as shown below:

Retry doesn't help.

Repro steps

Run the GenerateResourcesAndImage function with the following params:

SubscriptionId - {my subscription};
ResourceGroupName - {my rg};
AzureLocation - I've tried "East US" and "North Europe";
ImageType - "Windows2019"

I execute provisioning from another VM (Linux (ubuntu 24.04)), hosted within the same Subscription where I try to create an image.

In addition, I do have 'Application Developer' role 'Subscription Owner' privileges.
