Unable to delete private endpoint created for Recovery Service Vault which is in Failed state.

Hello Grzegorz Koperczak

The “AnotherPEOperationInProgress” is coming from the vault RP

UserErrorAnotherPEOperationInProgress “Call to Microsoft.RecoveryServices/vaults failed. Error message: Another private endpoint operation is in progress on this vault.”

is returned by the Microsoft.RecoveryServices provider (the vault itself), not by the Microsoft.Network private endpoint. That’s why both:

• Set-AzPrivateEndpoint
• Remove-AzPrivateEndpoint

fail with the same message – the networking RP calls into RecoveryServices to update/remove the connection, and the RecoveryServices RP says “no, I already have a PE operation in flight,” and the whole long-running operation is marked Failed.

Here is the PowerShell script checks the state of the PrivateEndpoint before deletion; if the PrivateEndpoint is connected, it will not be deleted $privateEndpoint = Get-AzPrivateEndpoint -Name "venkat-endpoint" -ResourceGroupName "RG_Name"

         if ($privateEndpoint -eq $null) {         Write-Host "Private endpoint not found."     } else {         $endpointstate = $privateEndpoint.PrivateLinkServiceConnectionsText | ConvertFrom-Json | Select-Object -ExpandProperty PrivateLinkServiceConnectionState | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Status              if ($endpointstate -eq 'Disconnected') {                          Write-Host "Private endpoint name : venkat-endpoint is in : $endpointstate state"                         Remove-AzPrivateEndpoint -Name "venkat-endpoint" -ResourceGroupName "v-vallepuv-Mindtree" -Force                  Write-Host "Private endpoint deleted successfully."              } else {             Write-Host "Private endpoint is not in a disconnected state. Current state: Connected"         }}

Hello @Grzegorz Koperczak,

Thanks for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A.

I understand that you are unable to delete the private endpoint which is created for recovery service vault.

I see that the endpoint connection status is currently set to approved. If you want to delete the private endpoint, please change the connection status from approved to rejected, and then try deleting the private endpoint. This should allow you to remove it.

If the connection status is approved state, it will not allow you to delete the private endpoint.
