Hi @KE1980 ,

the cmdlet Set-AzureRmAppServicePlan is part of the AzureRM.Websites module.
This module is not imported in an Azure Automation Account by default.

Please try the following steps:

In the Azure Portal ...

Import the module ...

Now the runbook should work.

Thanks @Andreas Baumgarten

I found the module, as you describe, but getting a:

This module has dependencies that are not present in this account. All dependencies must be present before this module can be imported.
Dependencies:
AzureRM.Profile (≥ 5.8.4)

That I have to look into before its possible, it seems.

The AzureRM.Websites has a dependency to the AzueRM.Profile module.

Unfortunately dependencies are not resolved automatically. You have to import dependent modules manually ... which can be a little work because the dependent modules could have dependencies as well.
But at the end it should work ;-)

Hi @Andreas Baumgarten

Thanks for sending me in the right direction. Azure is discontinuing the Rm modules, so had to make a new script using the Az instead. Anyway, got it all to work.

Thanks again! Really big help.
