    I have upgraded from trial subscription to Pay as you go subscription. Now after upgrading, my subscription id and tenant id is changed.
    When I try to connect to Azure subscription from Windows PowerShell using Connect-AzAccount it connect but if shows old tenant id and subscription id and subscription name is also not displayed.

    PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Connect-AzAccount

    Account SubscriptionName TenantId Environment

    xxxxxx@Karima ben .com 9b98da7a-497b-4a8e-b6e4-6c4d32cd1c42 AzureCloud

    When I try to create resource group, I get below error

    PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> New-AzResourceGroup -Name RG01 -Location "South Central US"
    New-AzResourceGroup : 'this.Client.SubscriptionId' cannot be null.
    At line:1 char:1

    • New-AzResourceGroup -Name RG01 -Location "South Central US"
    • ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    • CategoryInfo : CloseError: (:) [New-AzResourceGroup], ValidationException
    • FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.Azure.Commands.ResourceManager.Cmdlets.Implementation.NewAzureResourceGroupCmd
      let

    P.S. Everything works well from Cloud Shell
    I have restarted my PC as a T/s

    Please provide any pointers

    Hi @rohit bhatt ,

    maybe the following Az cmdlets are helpful:

    Get-AzContext get the current Azure context of your PowerShell session.
    Get-AzSubcription get all available Azure Subscriptions of you Azure Context
    Set-AzContext -Subcription <name of your Azure subscription switch the context of your PowerShell subscription to the subcription

    If you are connected to the wrong Azure tenant this might be helpful: 

    ## Import AZ cmdlets module  
Import-Module Az   
## Disconnet current AZ Sessions  
do{  
 Disconnect-AzAccount  
 $azureContext = Get-AzContext  
   }  
 until (!$azureContext)

    Connect to you Azure tenant via PowerShell: 

    # Connect to your Azure Tenant  
Connect-AzAccount -Tenant <Azure Tenant ID>

    ----------
