--- title: CLI reference for `azcmagent genkey` description: Syntax for the `azcmagent genkey` command line tool ms.topic: reference ms.date: 12/01/2025 # Customer intent: "As a system administrator, I want to generate a private-public key pair using the command line, so that I can onboard a server to Azure Arc-enabled virtual machines efficiently and securely." --- # `azcmagent genkey` Generates a private-public key pair that can be used to onboard a machine asynchronously. This command is only used when connecting a server to an Azure Arc-enabled virtual machine offering (for example, [Azure Arc-enabled VMware vSphere](../vmware-vsphere/overview.md)). You should normally use [`azcmagent connect`](azcmagent-connect.md) to configure the agent. ## Usage ``` azcmagent genkey [flags] ``` ## Examples Generate a key pair and print the public key to the console: ``` azcmagent genkey ``` ## Flags This command supports the flags described in [Common flags](azcmagent.md#common-flags).
