    The error "Connect-AzAccount : The term 'Connect-AzAccount' is not recognized" indicates that the Azure PowerShell module is either not installed or not loaded in your current session.

    To resolve this, ensure you have the Az.Accounts module installed. If not, use the command Install-Module -Name Az.Accounts. After installation, import the module using Import-Module Az.Accounts. Then, try running Connect-AzAccount again. If issues persist, try starting a new PowerShell session.

    Hi @Jason Trompeter ,

    it looks like the Az PowerShell module isn't installed.

    Based on the linked Learning module in your question:

    Be sure that Azure PowerShell Tools are installed from the Visual Studio Code Extensions

    Please verify the VS Code Extension Azure PowerShell Tools is installed and enabled.
