To disable auto forwarding for an Azure Service Bus queue using PowerShell, once try setting the -ForwardTo parameter to $null when using the Set-AzServiceBusQueue command. Here’s an example of how to do this:

Set-AzServiceBusQueue -ResourceGroup myresourcegroup ` -NamespaceName mynamespace ` -Name myqueue ` -ForwardTo $null

This command updates the specified queue to disable the auto forwarding feature.

Hello @Khadeer Ali I tried that. Getting below error
Set-AzServiceBusQueue -ResourceGroup $resourceGroupName -NamespaceName $namespaceName -Name $queueName -ForwardTo $forwardToQueueName

Az.ServiceBus.private\New-AzServiceBusQueue_CreateViaIdentity : Property id '' at path 'properties.forwardTo' is invalid. Expect either resource name e.g. 'myResource'

or qualified resource name e.g. 'myParent/myResource'.

@Rangineni, Dheeraj ,

To remove the forwarding configuration from your Azure Service Bus queue, please run the following command in a bash shell using Azure CLI:


az servicebus queue update \
  --resource-group <YourResourceGroup> \
  --namespace-name <YourNamespaceName> \
  --name <YourQueueName> \
  --remove forward_to

Replace <YourResourceGroup>, <YourNamespaceName>, and <YourQueueName> with your actual resource group, namespace, and queue names.

This command will clear the forward_to property from the queue without needing to recreate it. Please ensure that you are using the latest version of Azure CLI and are logged into the correct subscription.
