Getting error Resource vnetI not found. vnet is located in different subscription to where template is running.
How to get vnet ID in different subscription using arm template?

Answer 1

default value is the current subscription. Specify subscription and resource group to solve the issue.
"[resourceId('11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111', 'otherResourceGroup', 'Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts','examplestorage')]"
link to MS docs

Answer 2

The issue is just wrong reference of parameters. You can reference the other VNet in a different subscription for the parameter "id" with its ID generated from resourceId function. It returns the unique identifier of a resource. You use this function when the resource name is ambiguous or not provisioned within the same template.
Default value is the current subscription. Specify subscriptionId, resourceGroupName, resourceType and resourceName value of the other subscription as you need to retrieve a resource in another subscription.
Changes:
From:
"id": resourceId([subscriptionId], [resourceGroupName], resourceType, resourceName1, [resourceName2], ...)
To:
"id": "[resourceId('OthersubscriptionId','virtualNetworkResourceGroup', 'Microsoft.Network/virtualNetworks/subnets', 'virtualNetworkName', 'subnet1Name')]"
this is how it looks...
{
"type": "Microsoft.Network/privateEndpoints",
"apiVersion": "2020-06-01",
"name": "[variables('privateEndpointName')]",
"location": "[parameters('location')]",
"dependsOn": [
"[resourceId('Microsoft.Sql/servers', variables('sqlServerName'))]"
],
"properties": {
"subnet": {
"id": "[resourceId('xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx', 'virtualNetworkResourceGroup', 'Microsoft.Network/virtualNetworks/subnets', 'virtualNetworkName', 'subnet1Name')]"
},
"privateLinkServiceConnections": [
{
"name": "[variables('privateEndpointName')]",
"properties": {
"privateLinkServiceId": "[resourceId('Microsoft.Sql/servers',variables('sqlServerName'))]",
"groupIds": [
"sqlServer"
]
}
}
]
}
},
Refer: Here and resourceId
Update ---
Additional example: To get the resource ID for a resource in a different subscription and resource group, provide the subscription ID and resource group name.
"[resourceId('xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx', 'otherResourceGroup', 'Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts','examplestorage')]"
The following example shows how a resource from an external resource group can easily be used:
{
"$schema": "https://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/2019-04-01/deploymentTemplate.json#",
"contentVersion": "1.0.0.0",
"parameters": {
"location": {
"type": "string"
},
"virtualNetworkName": {
"type": "string"
},
"virtualNetworkResourceGroup": {
"type": "string"
},
"subnet1Name": {
"type": "string"
},
"nicName": {
"type": "string"
}
},
"variables": {
"subnet1Ref": "[resourceId(parameters('virtualNetworkResourceGroup'), 'Microsoft.Network/virtualNetworks/subnets', parameters('virtualNetworkName'), parameters('subnet1Name'))]"
},
"resources": [
{
"type": "Microsoft.Network/networkInterfaces",
"apiVersion": "2015-05-01-preview",
"name": "[parameters('nicName')]",
"location": "[parameters('location')]",
"properties": {
"ipConfigurations": [
{

"properties": {
"privateIPAllocationMethod": "Dynamic",
"subnet": {

}
