My goal is to view the available/installed artifacts on a VM in dev test lab.

By calling:

az lab vm show --lab-name $DevTestLabName --name $VmName--resource-group $ResourceGroupName

It displays a json response in which there is an "artifacts" property but its value is null.

When I try to use the --expand parameter as it is described in the documentation it returns an error:

az lab vm show --lab-name $DevTestLabName --name $VmName--resource-group $ResourceGroupName --expand 'properties($expand=artifacts)'

The error:

az : ERROR: Invalid properties were specified in the $expand query string parameter.
At line:1 char:1
+ az lab vm show --lab-name $DevTestLabName --name $VmName --resource-grou ...
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (ERROR: Invalid ...ring parameter.:String) [], RemoteException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : NativeCommandError

I searched through the issues and noticed that the expand property is planned for deprecation. Please advice what to use and how to list the artifacts in the DevTest lab.

I see the same error when querying for "networkInterface".
When I run:
az lab vm show --lab-name $lab --name $name --resource-group $rg
I am able to see general details about the VM, but all entries under networkInterface are null.

When I try to expand that using "--expand",
az lab vm show --lab-name $lab --name $name --resource-group $rg --expand 'properties($expand=artifacts,computeVm,networkInterface,applicableSchedule)'
It fails with:
Invalid properties were specified in the $expand query string parameter.

Invalid properties were specified in the $expand query string parameter.

This means the service does not support the value you supplied.

@tjprescott Do you mean the the value I provided for the expand parameter is incorrect?
I copied that from the documentation: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/lab/vm?view=azure-cli-latest#az-lab-vm-show

I also tried the below command with lesser properties in expand and got the same error:
az lab vm show --lab-name $lab --name $name --resource-group $rg --expand 'properties($expand=networkInterface)'

Let me know if I am interpreting this wrong.

Nevermind, I figured out my mistake.
I was using the CLI from within the powershell (and I assume I am not escaping the characters appropriately to get that to work).

I switched to command prompt, and I had to change ' to " and then the command works as expected.
az lab vm show --lab-name $lab --name $name -g $rg --expand "properties($expand=networkInterface)"

I think the doc should be updated to use double quotes there?

In powershell, this can be use:
az lab vm show --lab-name $lab --name $name -g $rg --expand '"properties($expand=networkInterface)"'
