Error in Powershell Azure calls from Jenkins but not Powershell ISE?

Question

I run the following in PowerShell ISE Connect-AzAccount and it works fine , but within Jenkins when run as a Powershell command I get the following error:

The term 'Connect-AzAccount' 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.

Why would this happen ?

Answer 1

Couple of things to try out:

• You do not install AZ and Azure RM side by side , if you have it in the machine , please uninstall the Azure RM

• Please try running the following command in order:

  Install-Module Az Import-Module Az Connect-AzAccount
