Not able to run Az commands on Azure Runbook

I am trying to run the Az commands inside PowerShell type Azure Runbook. At starting it does not recognize the Az commands and want me to install NuGet. Now error displayed while installing NuGet.

Multiple Errors enter image description here

If you notice that my Connect-AzAccount run successfully but Get-AzResource throw error.

  1. Is it necessary to install NuGet?
  2. How my Connect-AzAccount does not throw an error.

  3. My Uninstall-AzureRm is failing but if I don't use it then it throws a different error.

    Get-ChildItem : AzureRM.Profile already loaded. Az and AzureRM modules cannot be imported in the same session or used in the same script or runbook.

  4. Is Get-AzResource required some other module to import?

  5. There is no issue at my local machine. Having an issue in runbook only.
Solution

  • The environment of runbook is different from that in local, if you want to use Get-AzResource, please follow the steps below.

    Note: Please make sure you created the Run As Account when you created the automation account like below.

    enter image description here

    1.Navigate to the automation account in the portal -> Modules -> Browse Gallery -> search for Az.Accounts and Az.Resources -> Import both of them. The latest version of Az.Resources has a dependency of Az.Accounts>=1.8.0, if you have already have the old version of Az.Accounts, just remove it and install the newest version, then install the Az.Resources.

    2.Then use the script below in the powershell runbook.

    $connectionName = "AzureRunAsConnection"
try
{
    # Get the connection "AzureRunAsConnection "
    $servicePrincipalConnection=Get-AutomationConnection -Name $connectionName         

    Connect-AzAccount `
        -ServicePrincipal `
        -TenantId $servicePrincipalConnection.TenantId `
        -ApplicationId $servicePrincipalConnection.ApplicationId `
        -CertificateThumbprint $servicePrincipalConnection.CertificateThumbprint 
}
catch {
    if (!$servicePrincipalConnection)
    {
        $ErrorMessage = "Connection $connectionName not found."
        throw $ErrorMessage
    } else{
        Write-Error -Message $_.Exception
        throw $_.Exception
    }
}

Get-AzResource -ResourceGroupName "<group-name>"
