I am trying to use some commands from PowerShell workflow from runbooks in Azure automation account. One of the command is Get-AzureWebsiteJob which uses Azure.Service PowerShell module. This module is not present in the PowerShell module gallery of the automation account. I didn't find it in PowerShell Gallery as well.
Am I missing anything trivial here? Either I need a way to import that module in automation account or need to be able to download as a zip so that I can upload it.
Actually the cmdlet Get-AzureWebsiteJob is in Azure module.
In the Azure module page -> Package Details section, you can find the cmdlet Get-AzureWebsiteJob is included. Here is the screenshot:
To use it in runbook, you just need import that module in automation account, or you can directly deploy that module to azure automation from Azure module like below:

I am trying to shutdown the VM using Azure Automation Account System Managed identity option.
However I am ending up with below error.
As per the other articles it is mentioned to upgrade the module Update-ModulesInAutomationToLatestVersion but I could not update due to below error. I am not sure what is the issue in the script. Same script works with AzureRunAsConnection option without issues ( script ).I even checked with simple login with System Managed Identity it successfully login and fetches the resource group names.
I have tested the above shared script in my automation account. Below are
the couple of observations:
You need to use Connect-AzureRMAccount -Identity cmdlet instead of 'connect-AzAccount` to connect to your subscription because the rest of the script that you have written using Azure RM cmdlets.
If we use AzureRM cmdlets in your run book script the job is getting suspended stating that Azure RM is going to retired and suggesting us to use Az Module in your workflow.
You can refer to this documentation on how to migrate your PowerShell scripts automatically from AzureRM to AZ modules.
If you want to perform start/stop on your virtual Machines you can leverage the Azure Automation start/stop during the off hours feature.
According to the MICROSOFT DOCUMENTATION and looking at your script the Azure Rm module is not supported and it has been updated to the latest version of Az module.

I have created custom module and uploaded it in Azure Automation module section. Now when I try to run the command to fetch the list of modules, it is not showing over there. I have used PowerShell command and REST API also but it is giving me value of Default modules only. Is there any way I can get the details of custom module?
I have tried below 2 ways-
Powershell - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/az.automation/get-azautomationmodule?view=azps-7.0.0
API
Please help.
Here is the one of workaround that i was able to fetch the custom module that i have added to Azure Automation using Powershell
Added Microsoft teams custom module to my Azure Automation .
Run the following cmd to get all the modules default and custom
Get-AzAutomationModule -AutomationAccountName "<name>" -ResourceGroupName "<name>"
To Fetch the list of custom modules run the below cmd
Get-AzAutomationModule -AutomationAccountName "<name>" -Name "MicrosoftTeams" -ResourceGroupName "<name>"
Also can able to see it from azure portal itself. Also make sure that you have added the custom module with some functionality .
I have a VM running in Azure which has ansible installed.
Is it possible to run ansible to find the tags associated with this VM (which ansible is running on)?
Furthermore Can it be done as part of a "lookup" expression?
E.g hosts: {{lookup(tag_name) }}
Elaborating Hassan Raza's suggestion:
This is Azure REST API reference and this is Tags REST API section and this REST API helps to get the entire set of tags on a resource. So you may just use this REST API to accomplish your requirement.
On the other hand, you can also leverage Az PowerShell to get the entire set of tags on a resource and this is that Az PowerShell cmdlet which is part of Az.Resources module so you need it this module imported as a pre-requisite. Again, you may just use this cmdlet from your local machine or from wherever you want to.
On the another hand, you may also create something called Azure Automation Runbook (in general words its a script that's created in Azure cloud under an Azure Automation account). So you may create an Azure Automation account and then a simple runbook to get the entire set of tags on a resource.
The solution we went with was to use the Ansible azure_rm_virtualmachine_info_module :
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/azure/azcollection/azure_rm_virtualmachine_info_module.html
This returns azure tag info.
Before deleting a custom domain from Azure Active Directory (AAD), I first need to get a list of all users, groups, and applications that reference that custom domain. This can be done manually through the Azure portal
Is there a way to get this list through PowerShell? I see the PowerShell cmdlet Get-MsolDomain, but I do not see that this outputs this kind of information.
I recommend to use cmdlet Get-AzureADDomainNameReference -Name '' from module AzureAD.
You can install that module from PowerShell Gallery - https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/AzureAD/
I am using powershell script, using this i create/setup vm in azure. I want to run powershell script without azure credentials (right now i am using as below but I don't want to my.publishsettings or publishsettings details in powershell script).

Is there any want to do same. please suggest me.
There are two ways by which you can connect to and manage your Azure Subscription - One is using X509 Certificate (which is what you're doing when you use publishsettings file) and the other is using Azure AD.
Please see this link for detailed instructions on how you can use Azure AD to manage your Azure Subscriptions: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-in/documentation/articles/powershell-install-configure/. Scroll down to section titled How to: Connect to your subscription.
