I'm having an issue with Azure PS modules. I have installed via PS gallery with the following:

Install-Module AzureRM
Install-Module Azure

(And restarted)

However, when I run Login-AzureRmAccount I get the following error:

Login-AzureRmAccount : The term 'Login-AzureRmAccount' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again. At line:1 char:1 + Login-AzureRmAccount + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (Login-AzureRmAccount:String) [], CommandNotFoundException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException

I seem to have all of the Azure Modules installed. I.e. if I run Get-Module -List I get following.

  • Oddly, using `Add-AzureRmAccount` works fine. Still a bit confused at to why this is happening – Nagoh Mar 20 '17 at 04:18
  • What is your Azure PowerShell version? You could use the cmdlet to check `Get-Module -ListAvailable -Name Azure -Refresh`. – Shui shengbao Mar 20 '17 at 04:29
  • PS v4. That command returns: `ModuleType Version Name ExportedCommands ---------- ------- ---- ---------------- Script 3.7.0 Azure {Get-AzureAutomationCertificate, Get-AzureAutomationConnec...` – Nagoh Mar 20 '17 at 04:56
  • Sorry for my mistake, you version is latest. If possible, I suggest you could try to install Azure PowerShell by using `*.msi`. In my answer, I give you the link. After you install it, you could try again. – Shui shengbao Mar 20 '17 at 05:00
  • I test in my lab, my azure PowerShell `ModuleType` is `Manifest`, your is `Script`. – Shui shengbao Mar 20 '17 at 05:05
  • Yeah - I have tried by both MSI and Gallery. Rebooted after each install / uninstall. – Nagoh Mar 20 '17 at 05:20

You need to Update to a new version of Azure PowerShell.

  • Use the Command:

Install-Module AzureRM -AllowClobber

    I believe the correct option instead of AllowClobber is now Force – blizz Aug 30 '17 at 19:34

    The command "Install-Module AzureRM -AllowClobber" should work and the AllowClobber seems to be valid with reference to article: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/azure/install-azurerm-ps – Clavin Fernandes Nov 11 '17 at 04:22

You could use the latest Azure Power Shell version from the link.

Notes: Please install 3.7.0 version.

For me, Install-Module was not recognized, and I already had Azure 3.7 installed, the answer was to install Azure CLI 2.0 for Windows

I had this problem when running a Powershell script as a scheduled task (using a user profile reserved for running scheduled tasks) but not when running from the Powershell prompt interactively as an administrator. (I was using Powershell version 5.1.)

Get-Module -List seemed to be telling me that the required AzureRm modules were already installed for all users (under C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules). Nevertheless it seemed as if they were not installed for the task user.

I put a setup routine in my scheduled task to run the following commands in the context of my task:

Set-PSRepository -Name PSGallery -InstallationPolicy Trusted
Install-Module AzureRM.Dns -Scope AllUsers -RequiredVersion 4.0.1 -AcceptLicense

(version 4.0.1 being what appeared to be installed already).

I also had to use Install-Module PowershellGet -Force to get the 'Scope' parameter of Install-Module to be accepted. Wasn't clear which of these three commands finally did the trick.

I faced a similar problem after I installed the Az module in Powershell. In a particular session, PowerShell can run either Rm commands or Az commands.

To Run RM commands:

  • Open a new Powershell window.
  • Re-install AzureRM module using the command:

Install-Module "AzureRM"

  • Run the Rm command as usual.

Hope this solves your problem.
