I am attempting to do an offline backup to create a seed drive to ship to MS. I am following this guide:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/backup/backup-azure-backup-import-export

I get all the way to Prepare SATA drives and ship to Azure. I have a SATA drive installed on my PC (7TB). I have installed the Azure powershell module. When running azureofflinebackupdiskprep.exe s:\share it fails right after it asks me if I want to format the specified drive with this:

Unable to import azure module .Exception :Desired module is not installed
Unable to access the azure resources of the customer subscriptionDesired module is not installed

Desired module is not installed

Warning : Disk preparation completed with errors. Please refer to the AzureOfflineBackupDiskPrep logs at location [C:\AzureOfflineBackupDiskPrep] for details

Any ideas? Thanks.
