How to re-enable runbooks after an automation account was throttled?

Jared Kinneer 0

I have a script that creates bacpac files for some sql databases and places them in blob storage once a day. This script also looks to remove files older than 30 days from blob storage. This script was using

Remove-AzureStorageBlob

instead of

Remove-AzStorageBlob

and as a result of an accumulation of incorrect API calls over time, the automation account for my subscription has been disabled and now no runbooks will execute. Is there a way to fix this issue without purchasing increased customer support access and contacting them to activate the account again?

Hii Jared Kinneer

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A Platform! Thank you for asking your question here.

Open the azure portal.

Navigate to the Subscriptions( Ensure your Azure subscription is active and has no billing problems)

Go to your Automation account and check if there’s an option to enable it.

Enable using PowerShell :-

Use PowerShell cmdlet Set-AzAutomationAccount to enable the system-assigned managed identity.

Connect-AzAccount

$subscriptionID = "subscriptionID"

$resourceGroup = "resourceGroupName"

$automationAccount = "automationAccountName"

$output = Set-AzAutomationAccount -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroup -Name $automationAccount -AssignSystemIdentity

$output

Enable using CLI:-

az automation account update --automation-account-name "myAutomationAccount" --tags KEY=VALUE --resource-group "rg"

Get information about an Automation Account.

az automation account show --name "myAutomationAccount" --resource-group "rg"

For reference, please review this documentation: - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/automation/enable-managed-identity-for-automation
