Initiative Definition policy remediation in Powershell

Question

How can you automate creating remediation tasks for non compliant policies within an initiative definition in PowerShell?

All the documentation for remediation in PowerShell uses the policy assignment id, but with initiative definitions, there is only one assignment id which is for the group which does not work.

@Mateusz Przezdziecki Welcome to Microsoft Q & A Community Forum. I understand that you are trying to create remediation tasks for the policies within Initiative. Here is sample example on how to create a remediation task at resource group scope for a policy set definition assignment.

$policyAssignmentId = "/subscriptions/f0710c27-9663-4c05-19f8-1b4be01e86a5/resourceGroups/myRG/providers/Microsoft.Authorization/policyAssignments/2deae24764b447c29af7c309"  
Start-AzPolicyRemediation -ResourceGroupName "myRG" -PolicyAssignmentId $policyAssignmentId -PolicyDefinitionReferenceId "0349234412441" -Name "remediation1"  

To retrieve policy definitions id within the initiative, you can use below command.

(Get-AzPolicySetDefinition -ResourceId /providers/Microsoft.Authorization/policySetDefinitions/55f3eceb-5573-4f18-9695-226972c6d74a).Properties.PolicyDefinitions
