It could be that Pulumi’s state drifted from Azure’s. `pulumi refresh` will help in this case. What does the Azure portal say about the VM?

It was invalid username that caused the failed VM creation.  We are trying out Automation API, so need the stacks to be continuously  deleted and created, and this kind of error slows things a lot. I'll see if `refresh` helps, thanks.
