What is the best way now to create an Azure Subscription using PowerShell.

Can we use the command New-AzSubscription ? I see lot of articles on internet stating the command is broken . Is this issue fixed.

Hello @MS Techie

Most of scripts on the internet is possible that are not updated for azure changes in formats or syntaxes. There is a fresh publication from Microsoft on the matter that should work successfully:

you can find all details here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cost-management-billing/manage/programmatically-create-subscription-enterprise-agreement?tabs=rest

Hope this resolves your query,
Best regards,

@MS Techie - Thanks for reaching out.

As @Limitless Technology rightly said about the fresh publication from Microsoft.

To your point, There is no New-AzSubscription command that I'm aware of, the New-AzSubscriptionAlias command is in preview.

If you want to use PowerShell, youneed to use the New-AzSubscriptionAlias command.

See this article for more information: programmatically-create-subscription

Hope this helps.
