**Code i used to get the storage sync service details**

from azure.mgmt.storagesync import StorageSyncManagementClient
from msrestazure.azure_exceptions import CloudError

credential = DefaultAzureCredential()
subscription_id = 'for privacy i didn't mention
resource_client = ResourceManagementClient(
    credential,
    subscription_id
)
sync_service_client = StorageSyncManagementClient(
    credential,
    subscription_id
)
sync_services = []
for item in resource_client.resources.list(filter="resourceType eq 'Microsoft.StorageSync/storageSyncServices'"):
    try:

        sync_service = sync_service_client.storage_sync_services.get(
            item.id.split('/')[4],  # resource group name
            item.name  # resource name
        )

        sync_services.append({
            'name': sync_service.name,
            'location': sync_service.location,
            'resource_group': item.id.split('/')[4],
            'storage_account': sync_service.storage_account_id
        })

    except CloudError as e:
        print('Could not get details for Storage Sync Service "{}" in resource group "{}". Error: {}'.format(
            item.name, item.id.split('/')[4], e
        ))

for sync_service in sync_services:
    print('Name:', sync_service['name'])
    print('Location:', sync_service['location'])
    print('Resource Group:', sync_service['resource_group'])
    print('Storage Account ID:', sync_service['storage_account'])

@Prabhakaran Haribaskar Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Forum, Thank you for posting your query here!

The error message you are encountering suggests that the module 'StorageSyncManagementClient' cannot be imported from the 'azure.mgmt.storagesync' package. This error can occur if the package is not installed or if the package is installed but the module is not available in the version you are using.

You can try installing the latest version of the 'azure-mgmt-storagesync' package using the following command:

https://pypi.org/project/azure-mgmt-storagesync/

pip install azure-mgmt-storagesync

If the issue persists, you can try uninstalling and reinstalling the package using the following command:

pip uninstall azure-mgmt-storagesync
pip install azure-mgmt-storagesync

If the issue still persists, you can try checking the documentation for the package to see if there are any known issues or compatibility issues with the version of Python you are using.

You can also try checking the Azure documentation for more information on the 'StorageSyncManagementClient' module and how to use it.
