I have verified the installed software/packages from the link. No were mentioned Az module is available. Is Az module made available on the microsoft hosted agents? If not from when it will be available. We are using ADO custom build tasks and Azure automation accounts with Azure RM module. What should be the best migration to Az module.
Az module is available if you use the latest Azure Powershell task (AzurePowerShell#4). It would pull the Az module automatically.
Agree with #4c74356b41's answer. We have expanded and preloaded some modules in Azure Powershell#4 task, including Az module. This task would load Az cmdlets automatically which do not need you to use Install-Module cmd anymore.
If you do not want to use this task, but only Powershell task, the Az module can also be used, just use one cmd to install module firstly:
Install-Module -Name Az -AllowClobber -Force
This command can be applied in all agents, no matter it is hosted or private one.
With cmd Get-InstalledModule checked, you can see that it is installed successfully:
If you want to know the best migration to Az module, check this doc. It express the details of how should you configure the environment for the migration to succeed. And how should the migration be applied suitable when the environment meets the migration criteria.
The latest available release of AzureRM is 6.13.1. If you don't have
this version installed, your existing scripts may need additional
modification to work with the Az module beyond what's described here
and in the breaking changes list.
If your scripts don't work with AzureRM 6.13.1, update them according
to the AzureRM 5.x to 6.x migration guide. If you use an earlier
version of the AzureRM module, there are migration guides available
for each major version.
AZ is already downloaded on the agent, just not installed
Something like this could work
$env:PSModulePath += ';C:\Modules\az_7.1.0'
Write-Host "##vso[task.setvariable variable=PSModulePath;]$($Env:PSModulePath)"`

I am trying to run
az billing account list
However, when I run this I get:
az billing: 'account' is not in the 'az billing' command group. See 'az billing --help'. If the command is from an extension, please make sure the corresponding extension is installed. To learn more about extensions, please visit https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/azure-cli-extensions-overview
I have installed the account extension but it still has not worked.
If I run it in the Cloud Shell I get:
Command group 'billing account' is in preview and under development. Reference and support levels: https://aka.ms/CLI_refstatus
[]
so I do get a response here.
I cannot find anything to install this extension or preview extentions.
Repo doesn't have it https://github.com/Azure/azure-cli
Python Repo doesn't have it https://pypi.org/user/microsoft/
No information on the Documentation https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/billing/2019-10-01-preview/billingaccounts
listing the extensions doesn't show anyting https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/azure-cli-extensions-overview
The upgraded billing commands are shipped with Azure CLI 2.15.0 and the Cloud Shell you are using with Azure might be an older version, Try to update and see
While Running a job for arm template deployment using a Power shell script it's throwing error like the term New-AzumResourceGroupDeployment is not recognized as a name of cmdlet function script file.can anyone help me understand on this.
Odds are the AzureRM Powershell module isn't installed on the machine. Run the following command in an elevated powershell session: More Detail
Install-Module -Name AzureRM -AllowClobber
I would make a recommendation note to user AzureRm as it has been replaced with the Az module. For Az run: More Detail If the machine has Az already installed on it then skip to the alias section as this would also throw the error you are describing if Az is installed and the script is reference Rm
Install-Module -Name Az -AllowClobber
If you are running powershell that reference the AzureRm module create an alias for it after installing Az by running
Enable-AzureRmAlias -Scope CurrentUser
After the installing the Az Module
Firstly, there is Azure Resource Group Deployment task that could be used to deploy ARM template.
Also, there is Azure PowerShell task that would include many modules, so you can use this task too.
Secondly, the command is New-AzureRmResourcegroupdeployment or New-AzResourceGroupDeployment.
On the other hand, by default, for powershell task, it won't include Azure Modules, you need to install or import it. Check DreadedFrost's reply.

We are currently rolling out Windows 10 (1903) devices via Intune, and we have requirements to install Azure PowerShell modules under the System account for the devices to communicate and write data to Azure tables. There is a script running under the system account that will write data to Azure every so often.
None of these modules are loading, even when we manually copy them across to the correct location and try the 'offline' method, and we have noticed the following errors on the clients within Event Viewer:
Cannot convert value "2.0.0-preview" to type "System.Version". Error: "Input string was not in a correct format."
The modules that I am trying to install are:
Install-Module -Name Az -AllowClobber -Force | Out-Null
Install-Module -Name AzureRmStorageTable -RequiredVersion 2.0.1 -Force | Out-Null
Any advice/help would be greatly appreciated.
Referring to Github issue: Can't install PowerShell Az - Cannot convert value "2.0.0-preview" Windows 10
If your PowerShellGet module version is less than 1.6.0, you might encounter this issue. You may update the PowerShellGet module nad have another try.
According to the Prerequisites section of this official Azure documentation you can find the latest version of the new Azure Az module by running Get-Module -ListAvailable Az command. I successfully installed the new module on my Windows 10 Pro - Update 1809. But when I run the above command, I get no output as shown in the image below. Question: What I may be missing here, or is it a bug?
NOTE: The question is specific to the above command for the new Azure Az module and NOT like the one already nicely answered here.
The same behavior as you. The Get-Module cmdlet gets the PowerShell modules that have been imported, or that can be imported, into a PowerShell session. On my side, there is not the name Az module just Az.* modules in the output of Get-Module -ListAvailable. So I get no output by running Get-Module -ListAvailable Az command.
Generally, you could get the PowerShell modules name Az installed on a computer directly by using Get-InstalledModule.
I have Azsk implemented in my azure devops pipeline. Before anything works finely and i can run the pipeline normally. i didn't changed anything but it gave me this error atm

Google got me to this : https://github.com/Azure/azure-cli/issues/2357
But this will update the module on my local machine, while the problem is the installation of the module in my pipeline (some kind of container that azure devops is running).
Anyone have this issue lately or does know how to fix this ?
From the official Azsk GitHub:
Error message: "PackageManagement\Install-Package: cannot process argument transformation on parameter 'InstalledModuleInfo'..."
If you have installed AzureRM PowerShell using Azure SDK in your machine, it typically get installed in Program Files. You could run the below command to confirm
Get-Module -Name AzureRM* -ListAvailable
If this is the case, then you need to remove the Azure PowerShell modules installed through Azure SDK completely from the Program Files. You could also take back up in case if you need. AzSK also need AzureRM modules. But it would download from PSGallery instead of from Azure SDK. This downloading of AzureRM modules from PS Gallery would conflict with AzureRM modules installed through Azure SDK. After cleanup, If you again the run the below command, it would fetch AzureRM version 5.2.0 by default into the current user scope instead of in Program Files.
Install-Module AzSK -Scope CurrentUser -AllowClobber
In case you still need to use the other version of AzureRm (that you removed), you can install it from PS Gallery using the command below:
Install-Module AzureRM -Scope CurrentUser -AllowClobber -RequiredVersion <versionNumber e.g. “3.8.0” >
Note: If "-AllowClobber" option is not available in your version of PS, then replace that with "-Force"
If you happen to have multiple versions of AzureRM, then it depends on which version of the module loads first in the PS session. In that case, to avoid confusion, close the installer PS session and in a new PS session run the following first:
Import-Module AzSK
Then you can run one or more AzSK commands or other AzureRm commands. The "Import-Module" ensures that the right version of AzureRM gets loaded into the current session.
So in your case that is Hosted agent, try add PowerShell task before the Azsk task and run the commands above.
