Why "Add machine" button is disable when tried to add a machine to a machine group

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

On the physical machine I want to execute the flow, I open Power Automation Desktop application and click setting, then click Machine (preview) tab, later click "Add to Machine Group" button, select a Machine Group and input valid passwords, but the Add machine button is gray and disable. What should I do?

    Thanks for your response. What is MicrosoftFlowExtensionCore? How to get it?

     

    Thanks

    It appears to be a solution package...

     

    Before that can you go through following URL and see if you got necessary access?

     

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-automate/desktop-flows/manage-machines#register-a-new-machine

    I ready the page https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-automate/desktop-flows/manage-machines#register-a-new-machine.  And machine's information has gotten correcly. But I still cannot add it to the machine group.

    After click the "Add to machine group" button, the "Add machine" button is still gray and disable.

    Can you provide a strong password and see if changes? Strength shows Fair

    Great. Can you accept solution?

    The password I had used to "Add machine" is same as the one I login in windows. I think the password rule of Microsoft products should be the same.
