I'm having trouble finding out how to export data from a invoke-AZVMRUNcommand in parallel to a csv file. Usually this is simple to do but this time it got me the csv is not showing any data.. Can someone share a little knowledge of what to do.
$myAzureVMs | ForEach-Object -Parallel {
$out = Invoke-AzVMRunCommand `
-ResourceGroupName *********** `
-Name $_.Name `
-CommandId 'RunPowerShellScript' `
-ScriptPath C:\Users\user******\Downloads\ListCertificates\ListCertificates.ps1
#Formating the Output with the VM name
$output = $_.Name + " " + $out.Value[0].Message
$output} | Export-Csv -Path C:\CertList\CertEXPlist.csv
You can use the below PowerShell script to export into CSV file along with Invoke-AzVMRunCommand without using -Parallel as this works only with latest version of Powershell.
We've run a sample Powershell script by using the above cmdlet which in turn returns the result from the VM and saves in the csv file locally.
$out = Invoke-AzVMRunCommand `
-ResourceGroupName RGName `
-Name myVmrajkumarvm `
-CommandId 'RunPowerShellScript' `
-ScriptPath 'C:\Users\*****\xxxxxxxxxxxx\Documents\test.ps1'
#Formating the Output with the VM name
$out | Export-Csv -Path C:\Users\*******\CertEXPlist.csv
After running the above ps script, the output will be stored in the directory which is given above:

I'm trying to execute the Invoke-AzVMRunCommand in PowerShell and pass parameters to the script that needs to be executed.
Before I Run the Runbook I can define the parameter name:
Define Parameter
Code from the Runbook:
param(
[Parameter(Mandatory=$true)]
[string]$name
)
Write-Output "Connecting to azure via Connect-AzAccount -Identity"
Connect-AzAccount -Identity
Write-Output "Successfully connected with Automation account's Managed Identity"
Write-Output "Run Script Against Machines"
$ScriptToRun = "C:\testps.ps1"
Out-File -InputObject $ScriptToRun -FilePath ScriptToRun.ps1
Invoke-AzVMRunCommand -ResourceGroupName "RG" `
-VMName "VM" `
-CommandId 'RunPowerShellScript' `
-ScriptPath ScriptToRun.ps1 `
-Parameter #{"name" = $name}
Remove-Item -Path ScriptToRun.ps1
Script on the server I want to execute with the parameters:
param(
[string]$name
)
MKdir -Path "C:\Users" -Name $name
The script does not produce the expected output: Creating a folder with name from the parametr under C:\Users. No folder is being created.
If I execute the Invoke-AzVMRunCommand on the same script with hardcoded arguments like so:
MKdir -Path "C:\Users" -Name "TEST"
it does work and the folder gets created.
Firstly, I have script on VM and i have followed Microsoft-Document:
param(
[string]$name
)
MKdir -Path "C:\Users" -Name $name
Then i have used az invoke command in your script instead of Invoke-AzVMRunCommand and used below command:
az vm run-command invoke --command-id RunPowerShellScript --name "name of the VM" -g "name of the resourcegrp" --scripts "C:\test.ps1 $name"
Here $name is the param that you have send to runbook.
By this way you can create the folder with the name you want.

Script:
$storageAccountKey = (Get-AzStorageAccountKey -ResourceGroupName "RD-RDIPCloudMigration-AppResources-devtest" -AccountName "rdipstoragegen2").Value[0]
$ctx = New-AzStorageContext -StorageAccountName "rdipstoragegen2" -StorageAccountKey $storageAccountKey
Get-AzDataLakeGen2ChildItem -Context $ctx -FileSystem "rdipdata" -Path "eval/raw/rdipclinicaltrial/data/warehouse/integrated/clntrl_reference_use.db" | export-csv "test.csv" -NoTypeInformation
By using this I am only able to get details of file level, if I run this script again and again in each level the only i can get details of the file inside the folder.
FYI
Kindly help me to get one script by which i can get all the details include file inside the folder.
There is a -Recurse switch within the Get-AzDataLakeGen2ChildItem cmdlet that:
Indicates if will recursively get the Child Item. The default is
false.
Below is the runbook code I am using to save the file to azure fileshare. But unable to save in subdirectory.
#Set the context using the storage account name and key
$context = New-AzureStorageContext -StorageAccountName $storageAccountName -StorageAccountKey $storageAccountKey
$s = Get-AzureStorageShare "X1" –Context $context
$ErrorLogFileName = "Test.csv"
$LogItem = New-Item -ItemType File -Name $ErrorLogFileName
$_ | Out-File -FilePath $ErrorLogFileName -Append
Set-AzureStorageFileContent –Share $s –Source $ErrorLogFileName
Here I have a folder structure like X1/X2. But unable to get there and save the Test.csv. infact able to save it X1 folder on the Azure fileshare. Any idea ?
Thanks in Advance
You can specify the -Path parameter for Set-AzureStorageFileContent.
For example, the file share is X1, and there is a folder X2 inside X1. Then you can use the command below:
Set-AzureStorageFileContent –Share "X1" –Source $ErrorLogFileName -Path "X2" -Context $context
By the way, the command you're using is old, please try to consider using the latest az powershell command. For example, you can use Set-AzStorageFileContent instead of Set-AzureStorageFileContent(if you try to use the az module, then please replace all the old commands with the new ones).
I have a script file in a VM that I want to reach from the azure portal in a Powershell runbook but it can't find the file. The file is manually saved in c:\ of the VM.
Code snippet in azure runbook:
IF ($VmAction -eq "Shutdown") {
try
{
Invoke-AzVMRunCommand -ResourceGroupName $ResourceGroupName -VMName $VmName -CommandId 'RunPowerShellScript' -ScriptPath 'C:\\stopservice.ps1' -ErrorVariable result
Stop-AzVM -Name $VmName -ResourceGroupName $ResourceGroupName -Force
}
catch
{
throw "Error: $($_.Exception.Message)"
}
The command "Invoke-AzVMRunCommand -ResourceGroupName $ResourceGroupName -VMName $VmName -CommandId 'RunPowerShellScript' -ScriptPath 'C:\stopservice.ps1' -ErrorVariable result" can be used on powershell on my computer so I think the issue is somewhere in Azure possibly.
script file (c:\stopservice.ps1):
try
{
Stop-Service -Name SSASTELEMETRY
}
catch
{
throw "Error: $($_.Exception.Message)"
}
(ps. the service name is for testing purposes, will stop different service when this works)
Have your Azure Automation runbook something like shown below. It should accomplish your requirement.
$ServicePrincipalConnection = Get-AutomationConnection -Name 'AzureRunAsConnection'
Add-AzAccount -ServicePrincipal -TenantId $ServicePrincipalConnection.TenantId -ApplicationId $ServicePrincipalConnection.ApplicationId -CertificateThumbprint $ServicePrincipalConnection.CertificateThumbprint
$rgname ="rrrrrrrrrrrrrr"
$vmname ="vvvvvvvvvvvvvv"
$ScriptToRun = "c:\test.ps1"
Out-File -InputObject $ScriptToRun -FilePath ScriptToRun.ps1
Invoke-AzVMRunCommand -ResourceGroupName $rgname -Name $vmname -CommandId 'RunPowerShellScript' -ScriptPath ScriptToRun.ps1
Remove-Item -Path ScriptToRun.ps1
Note: Before you run your runbook, make sure you update "rrrrrrrrrrrrrr" with your resource group name and "vvvvvvvvvvvvvv" with your VM name and also make sure you have the PowerShell named test.ps1 in C:\ drive of the VM.
I am wondering if there is way to use the Invoke-AzVMRunCommand to run a single command, rather than a powershell ps1 file?
As an example, I want to execute a single command... "C:\app\app.exe -c exit". Without the need to push a powershell commandlet to the system.
I am able to do this via the Azure Portal "RunPowerShellScript" and it works but would like to do it to multiple systems via the command line via Invoke-AzVMRunCommand. These systems do not share a command account that can be used.
According to Microsoft, here is the syntax...
Invoke-AzVMRunCommand -ResourceGroupName 'rgname' -VMName 'vmname' -CommandId 'RunPowerShellScript' -ScriptPath 'sample.ps1' -Parameter #{param1 = "var1"; param2 = "var2"}
I don't want to run a script, I merely want to be able to execute a command on the system. Is this possible?
There is no direct way of doing it. But, you can write a script block and generate a file from it and then run Invoke-AzVMRunCommand using that file and later on delete that file if required.
$Server = "server01"
[System.String]$ScriptBlock = {Get-Process}
$FileName = "RunScript.ps1"
Out-File -FilePath $FileName -InputObject $ScriptBlock -NoNewline
$vm = Get-AzVM -Name $Server
Invoke-AzVMRunCommand -ResourceGroupName $vm.ResourceGroupName -Name $Server -CommandId 'RunPowerShellScript' -ScriptPath $FileName
Remove-Item -Path $FileName -Force -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
It's now possible to use the:
-ScriptString
... option, however you need to ensure that the Az version will support it.
Azure Pipelines as of 2022-07-21 don't support it:
"A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 'ScriptString'."
