New-AzStorageAccount claims subscription not found

Question

New-AzStorageAccount claims subscription not found

Beth Jelich 40

Using pwsh to create blob storage, I am getting the following error:

Subscription <mysubscriptionnum> was not found.

But I am logged in to the Azure portal and can look at my subscription (12 month free trial), so I am confused. The reported subscription number in the error message matches my subscription. And yes, I made sure I was connected to azure first in the pwsh shell.

Hello Beth Jelich,

Thank you for posting your query here!

I understand that when you use New-AzStorageAccount a Subscription was not found error appears, even though the subscription definitely exists and is accessible.

It is possible that the Microsoft.Storage Resource Provider is not registered for this subscription.

Please try to register the Microsoft.Storage Resource Provider for the selected subscription. This can be done using the Resource providers blade on the Subscription page in the Azure Portal.

Note: Free Trial subscriptions are only valid for 30 days. However, there are some services that are available for free for 12 months. But even to use these 12 months free services, you will need an active subscription.

So two issues I have from my Microsoft Learning experience following the creation tutorial.

It doesn't mention registering the resource provider as required. Always document all the steps, helps drill them into the student's memory, especially since this is the beginner training.

Both the portal and the pwsh interfaces have useless error messages. Why not tell me I don't have a storage resource provider instead of the generic failure message via the web portal and the "subscription not found" error via the pwsh command?
