It seems 6.1.0-preview0001 also had this problem. Will revert back to 6.0.1.

Hi @alexmartinio. Thanks for reporting this, I'll take a look.

The last big refactor of the ADManagedServiceAccount resource was released in version 5, so there is nothing to be released in 6.1.0 that changes this resource, so no need to use the preview versions.
