Hi @dgorle123

If you provide an ARMEndpoint (as in your example), Add-AzEnvironment may attempt to validate the endpoint by sending an HTTP request to ensure it is reachable and properly configured.

It looks like the ARM endpoint is not working properly. Can you verify this by visiting the URL from browser of the invoke-webrequest command (replace the placeholders with real values)?

If it's still 500, I recommend reaching out to Azure Support.
