AdvancedSchedule generates error when using monthDays for new schedule

If I want to deploy a monthly schedule on for example the last day of the month I encounter an error message when I used the REST API or the ARM template.

The body of the REST API for creating schedules I used look likes this:

{
  "name": "demoSchedule",
  "properties": {
    "startTime": "2022-05-07T22:00:00+02:00",
    "interval": 1,
    "frequency": "Month",
    "advancedSchedule": {
      "weekDays": [],
      "monthDays": [ -1 ],
      "monthlyOccurrences": []
    }
  }
}

When I execute this REST call I receive the following error message:

{
  "code": "BadRequest",
  "message": "Argument requestScheduleData with value Orchestrator.Schedules.DataAccess.Models.ScheduleAllData is not valid. Error message: The input    value is not valid for Monthly Schedule Type"
}

After spending a lot of time of trial & error I learned that when I update an existing schedule the action can be completed successfully. So if I first post the following body to the REST API the schedule will be created successfully.

{
  "name": "demoSchedule",
  "properties": {
    "startTime": "2022-05-07T22:00:00+02:00",
    "interval": 1,
    "frequency": "Week",
    "advancedSchedule": {
      "weekDays": [
        "Friday"
      ],
      "monthDays": [],
      "monthlyOccurrences": []
    }
  }
}

In the second step I will sent the body of the call that fails and the schedule will be updated successfully. I tested apiVersion 2015-10-31 and 2020-01-13-preview and both will fail if you want to create the new schedule with one call.

Assign an existing certificate to your IIS website with WiX

Recently I had to change the bindings of existing IIS hosted websites and APIs from HTTP to HTTPS. They are installed with a MSI file created with the WiX Toolset . Because I have to use an already on the server installed certificate I cannot use the Certificate element from the IIS Extension because this element only supports installing and uninstalling certificates based on PFX files. After doing some research I found the blog article Assign Certificate (Set HTTPS Binding certificate) to IIS website from Wix Installer which described the usage of Custom Actions for this purpose. I adopted this approach and rewrote the code for my scenario. With WiX I still create the website. <iis:WebSite Id="WebSite" ConfigureIfExists="yes" AutoStart="yes" Description="MyWebsite" Directory="IISROOT" StartOnInstall="yes"> <iis:WebAddress Id="WebSite...

Permantly delete an AD object

At the moment I am busy with PowerShell DSC scripts that also create objects within the Active Directory. Because it's work in progress you have to delete those objects regularly. Witin this sandbox environment the recycle bin feature is enabled so the objects are kept 30 days.  To permantly delete such objects (so you have a clean testing situation) you can use the following PowerShell command. Get-ADObject -filter {sAMAccountName -eq "<name of object>$"} -includeDeletedObjects -property * | Remove-ADObject

Make steps conditional in multi-stage YAML pipelines

To make the switch from the graphical release pipelines in Azure DevOps I am missing two features. The first one is to be able to defer a deploy and the second one is to exclude certain deployment steps without the need for editing the YAML file.  The defer option is something Microsoft has to solve in their Azure DevOps proposition. It's a feature which you have in the graphical release pipeline but what they have not implemented yet in their YAML pipeline replacement. Approvals and certain gate conditions are implemented on the environment but the defer option is still missing .  Pipeline The conditional deployment option can be implemented with the help of runtime parameters and expressions . In the parameter section you define boolean parameters which will control the deploy behavior. With the expressions you can control which stage/job/task should be executed when the pipeline runs. In the below YAML sample I experimented with conditions in the azure-pipelines.yml ...
