I try to run the simple command of 'az version' from a VM with the Run Command Script but I get this error: "The term 'az' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet...".

But when I run this command from the VM that I connect it with Remote Desktop Connection it works.

What should I do in order to operate 'az' commands from the Run Command Script?

    Hi @Ori Poria ,

    you are right. My fault sorry. It's the path that is missing to run Azure CLI ;-)

    Here you go: 

    Write-Output "First option"  
$env:Path += ";C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Azure\CLI2\wbin"  
az version  
  
Write-Output "Second option"  
& "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Azure\CLI2\wbin\az.cmd" version

    Hi @Ori Poria ,

    az is an Azure CLI command. Is AZ CLI installed on the VM?
