Hello @Sowmya Nekkanti

Thank you for raising your question in the Microsoft Q&A Community.

One of the possible reasons is that you are authenticating against the wrong tenant. When authenticating from Powershell, include the tenant flag and probably the subscription flag using the command below.

Connect-AzAccount -Tenant 'xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx' -SubscriptionId 'yyyy-yyyy-yyyy-yyyy'

Account                SubscriptionName TenantId                Environment
-------                ---------------- --------                -----------
azureuser@contoso.com  Subscription1    xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx     AzureCloud

You should have the same result as shown above with your tenant ID and subscription ID.

You can check if there are Subscriptions in the tenant if you do not want to use the Subscription flag by running the command below.

Get-AzSubscription

Alternatively, you can check using the Azure Cloud Shell which automatically redirects you to the environment once you are logged in on the Portal.

Let me know if further assistance is required.

Hello Sowmya, Welcome to MS Q&A

The error "no subscription found" typically occurs when Azure PowerShell is not properly authenticated or the subscription context is not set. Here are a few steps to troubleshoot and resolve this issue:

1. Authenticate to Azure: Ensure you are authenticated to Azure using the Connect-AzAccount command

         Connect-AzAccount
         
      
      
   

2. Check Subscription: Verify that you have a subscription by listing all subscriptions associated with your account.

         Get-AzSubscription
         
      
      
   

3. Set the Subscription Context: If you have multiple subscriptions, you need to set the context to the correct subscription

         Set-AzContext -SubscriptionId "your-subscription-id"
         
      
      
      
      
   

4. Verify the Context: Confirm that the context is set to the correct subscription.

         Get-AzContext
         
      
      
   

5. Create the Storage Account: After setting the context, you can proceed to create the storage account

         New-AzStorageAccount -ResourceGroupName "your-resource-group" -Name "yourstorageaccountname" -Location "your-location" -SkuName "Standard_LRS"
         
      
      
   

By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the "no subscription found" error and successfully create a new storage account using Azure PowerShell
