Where are AzureKeyVaultSecret backup/import powershell commands?

Question

I need to export all secrets from my key vault in Azure but I get the following error:

Backup-AzureKeyVaultSecret : The term 'Backup-AzureKeyVaultSecret' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program.

According to the documentation the command is in AzureRM.KeyVault module but it isn't on my machine:

Note, Backup-AzureKeyVaultKey is present but there is no Backup-AzureKeyVaultSecret . I tried Update-Module AzureRM but there are no new commands. Where is this thing?

Answer 1

The recommendation is to download and install the latest Azure Powershell MSI-installer through GitHub: https://github.com/Azure/azure-powershell/releases

Currently the latest version is available though the following direct link: https://github.com/Azure/azure-powershell/releases/download/v4.4.1-October2017/azure-powershell.4.4.1.msi

I've run into the same issue and installing the MSI helped to fix the problem.

Answer 2

OK, I had to do

Uninstall-Module AzureRm.KeyVault

twice (??), and then

Install-Module AzureRm.KeyVault  -Force -AllowClobber

It didn't work without both -Force and -AllowClobber flags. Something with parallel version installation thing.
