Answer 1

Hi,

Where is the function definition? Is it in the same script where you call it? Try moving the definition to the beginning of the script.

Answer 2

What happens if you change the name of the function SetVariables? Looking at that name, it always seems to be used together with 'task.' I'm guessing that this is something specific to Azure and not to Powershell.
