Unable to access resource group in Azure portal

Question

Hello,

I am assigned as owner of a windows virtual machine and a resource group which this VM belong to, under my colleagues's subscription.
No issue with operating the virtual machine, however when I need to encrypt the VM in https, following this tutorial:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/windows/encrypt-disks
Running command: Get-AzVM -ResourceGroupName, it returns error as below. Using az group exists -n Resourcegroupname, it returns true though. How can I get access this resource group and finish the encryption? Thanks in advance for your help!

Answer 1

If you have multiple subscriptions, set your subscription first and then try running the command.

To list all subscriptions : az account list --o table

To set your subscription : az account set --subscription <subscription-id>

Also ensure that all resources (including the Key Vault, Storage account, and VM) are in the same Azure region and subscription.

Answer 2

Hello,
Please check if the resource group you are looking for is existing in the subscription. Use the following command

Get-AzResourceGroup

Next check is, verify the Power Shell version you use. Make sure that you are using x86 version of PowerShell
