Issue with "Get-AzVM" Command in Azure PowerShell Module

Question

I am encountering a problem when using the "Get-AzVM" command in the Azure PowerShell module to retrieve information about a specific virtual machine in my Azure environment. This issue started recently, and I need assistance in resolving it. Here are the details of the problem:

Problem Description:

When I run the following command:
Get-AzVM -Name <VMName>

I receive the following error message:

Get-AzVM: Error converting value "{"error":{"code":"ProviderError","message":"Resource provider 'Microsoft.Compute' failed to return collection response for type 'virtualMachines'."}}" to type 'Microsoft.Azure.Commands.Compute.Models.PSComputeLongRunningOperation'. Path '', line 1, position 161.

Steps Taken:

I have already taken the following steps to troubleshoot the issue:

1. Checked that the virtual machine exists in the Azure portal.
2. Verified my Azure PowerShell module version and updated it to the latest version.
3. Ensured that I am signed in with the correct Azure account and have necessary permissions.
4. Verified the resource group name.

Additional Information:

• Azure PowerShell Module Version: 10.3.0
• Azure Subscription Type: Pay-as-you-go

I would greatly appreciate any guidance or assistance in resolving this issue with the "Get-AzVM" command. If you need any additional information or logs, please let me know.

Thank you for your help.

Hope doing good!, Thanks for reaching out to us

Please try below three methods and let us know the results and also please accept it helps you solving your issue

1 .Try Using a Different Azure PowerShell Module Version: If updating to the latest version didn't resolve the issue, you can try using an older version of the Azure PowerShell module. Uninstall the current version, and then install a specific version using the following commands:

Uninstall-Module -Name Az
Install-Module -Name Az -RequiredVersion <Version>

2. Try Using Azure CLI: If you are still facing issues with PowerShell, you can try using Azure CLI to see if you encounter the same problem. The Azure CLI uses a different set of libraries and might provide different results:

bashCopy code
az vm show --resource-group <ResourceGroupName> --name <VMName> --output json

3. Verify Resource Provider Registration: Sometimes, resource providers might have issues or be unregistered. Verify that the 'Microsoft.Compute' resource provider is registered for your subscription. You can use the following PowerShell command to check and, if necessary, register it:

Register-AzResourceProvider -ProviderNamespace Microsoft.Compute
