If you’re working with Logic Apps in Visual Studio 2019, you may have encountered an issue when deploying Azure resources using the Deploy-AzureResourceGroup.ps1 script.
This script might be using commands from the now-deprecated AzureRM module, causing errors when running your deployment.
Here’s how to resolve this issue by replacing the outdated AzureRM cmdlets with the newer Az module commands, ensuring your script works seamlessly.
📝 One-Minute Brief
When deploying Azure resources for Logic Apps, you may encounter failures caused by deprecated AzureRM PowerShell cmdlets. In this Friday Fact, I explain how to manually fix AzureRM cmdlet errors in Logic Apps deployments by replacing them with modern Az module commands. This approach allows you to unblock deployments, modernize PowerShell scripts, and align with Microsoft’s current Azure tooling recommendations.
Common Errors You Might Encounter:
sourceGroup.ps1: The term 'Get-AzureRmResourceGroup' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program.
CommandNotFoundException, Deploy-AzureResourceGroup.ps1
Deploying template using PowerShell script failed.
Solution:
The AzureRM module has been deprecated, and Microsoft recommends using the Az module instead. Below is a list of cmdlet replacements that should resolve your deployment issues.
| AzureRm (Deprecated) | Az Module | |
| Get-AzureRmResourceGroup | ➡️ | Get-AzResourceGroup |
| New-AzureRmResourceGroup | ➡️ | New-AzResourceGroup |
| Get-AzureRmStorageAccount | ➡️ | Get-AzStorageAccount |
| New-AzureRmStorageAccount | ➡️ | New-AzStorageAccount |
| New-AzureStorageContainer | ➡️ | New-AzStorageContainer |
| Set-AzureStorageBlobContent | ➡️ | Set-AzStorageBlobContent |
| New-AzureStorageContainerSASToken | ➡️ | New-AzStorageContainerSASToken |
| (Get-AzureRmContext).Subscription.SubscriptionId | ➡️ | (Get-AzContext).Subscription.Id |
| BlobEndPoint | ➡️ | BlobEndpoint |
| New-AzureRmResourceGroupDeployment | ➡️ | New-AzResourceGroupDeployment |
Install the Az Module: First, make sure you have the Az module installed on your system. You can install it using the following PowerShell command:
Install-Module -Name Az -AllowClobber -Force -Scope CurrentUser
Update the Deploy-AzureResourceGroup.ps1 Script: Open the Deploy-AzureResourceGroup.ps1 file in your project and replace the AzureRM cmdlets with the corresponding Az module cmdlets
After replacing the commands, save the file and try running the script again. Your deployment should now work without encountering the errors related to the AzureRM cmdlets.
