Azure Automation fails with error "module could not be loaded"

Question

Hi,

We have an azure automation that was running smoothly but is now failing regularly with the following error:

Get-AzAnalysisServicesServer: Line | 48 | $myAzureAnalysisServer = Get-AzAnalysisServicesServer -ResourceGroupN … | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | The 'Get-AzAnalysisServicesServer' command was found in the module 'Az.AnalysisServices', but the module could not be loaded. For more information, run 'Import-Module Az.AnalysisServices'.

We didn’t change anything on our side ... i re-imported the package in the runtime environment, and it did solve the issue for a few days, but it came back ... I honestly dont understand what could be the root cause for this strange issue and would appreciate any help ;)

Thanks!

Runtime Environment:

Powershell 7.2

Az 11.2.0

Azure CLI 2.56.0

Az.AnalysisServices 1.2.0

Hi @AurelienBAUX-1854

The error is typically caused by module dependency mismatches, runtime environment inconsistencies, or token refresh failures.

 I encountered the same error previously when the required modules were not properly updated. Please find the reference screenshot below.

Subsequently, I updated the Az.AnalysisServices, Az.Accounts, and Az.Resources modules using a PowerShell 7.2 runbook. Refer to the screenshots below for details.

After updating the modules, I was able to successfully retrieve the output of the

Get-AzAnalysisServicesServer 

command. Please see the final screenshot for reference.

Hope this helps!
