Hi @Omar Fahnbulleh ,

first of all there are two different PowerShell modules available for Azure:

1. AZRM -> The older one
2. AZ -> newer one

Both modules are not compatible which the other, which means you should only use one -> I recommend the AZ module.

Source: https://learn.microsoft.com/de-de/powershell/azure/migrate-from-azurerm-to-az?view=azps-7.3.0

Installation of the AZ module: https://learn.microsoft.com/de-de/powershell/azure/new-azureps-module-az?view=azps-7.3.0
Uninstall AZRM module: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/az.accounts/uninstall-azurerm?view=azps-7.3.0

How to know if a command is part of which module:
If there is a RM in the name of the cmdlet it's from the AZRM module -> e.g. Connect-AzureRmAccount
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/azurerm.profile/connect-azurermaccount?view=azurermps-6.13.0
The corresponding cmdlet in the AZ module is Connect-AzAccount
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/az.accounts/connect-azaccount?view=azps-7.3.0

Migrating scripts from AZRM to AZ cmdlet is easy in most cases. Just remove the RM in the cmdlet name.

Hi @Omar Fahnbulleh

I did not see you running " Install-module xxxx"

Answer 3

@risolis

PS C:\Windows\System32> Import-Module -Name AzureRM.Profile
Import-Module: The specified module 'AzureRM.Profile' was not loaded because no valid module file was found in any module directory.
PS C:\Windows\System32> Install-Module -name AzureRM.Profile -Force
Install-Package: The following commands are already available on this system:'Login-AzAccount,Logout-AzAccount,Resolve-Error,Send-Feedback'. This module 'AzureRM.Profile' may override the existing commands. If you still want to
install this module 'AzureRM.Profile', use -AllowClobber parameter.
