Answer 2

Hello,

Thank you for posting in Q&A forum.

The error you encounter usually means that the "Update-AzVmssInstances" cmdlet is not available in the current Azure PowerShell session. This can happen for several reasons, such as the module not being installed or loaded. Here is a step-by-step method to resolve this issue:

1. Ensure that the Azure PowerShell module is installed and updated:

Make sure that the Azure PowerShell module is installed and up to date. You can install or update it using the following commands in your PowerShell session:

Install-Module -Name az -AllowClobber -Force

Update-Module -Name Az

2. Import the az module:

Import-Module Az

3. Verify the Az.Compute module:

The "Update-AzVmssInstances" cmdlet specifically belongs to the "Az.Compute" module. Make sure it is available and loaded:

Import-Module Az.Compute

4. Use the correct cmdlet name:

Verify that the correct cmdlet name is used, as sometimes cmdlet names change between module versions. You can check by listing the available cmdlets:

Get-Command -Module Az.Compute

Look for "Update-AzVmssInstances"

If you have tried the above steps and the problem persists, I recommend contacting Azure DevOps Services technical support, who may be able to provide you with more detailed assistance.
