'build.cmd local' throws an exception (Cannot validate argument on parameter 'Tenant'.)

[nkgami]

With Azure PowerShell 4.4.0 or newer, we get exception at Common\Deployment\DeploymentLib.ps1:904 like below.

Select an option from the above list: 1 2017-11-20T04:54:39.4788171+00:00 - SubscriptionId changed to Set-AzureRmContext : Cannot validate argument on parameter 'Tenant'. The argument is null or empty. Provide an argument that is not null or empty, and then try the command again. At C:\temp\azure-iot-remote-monitoring-master\azure-iot-remote-monitoring-maste r\Common\Deployment\DeploymentLib.ps1:904 char:78 + Select-AzureRmSubscription -SubscriptionName $rmSubscription.Name -TenantId $rm ... + \~\~\~

• CategoryInfo : InvalidData: (:) [Set-AzureRmContext], Parameter BindingValidationException

This is because $rmSubscription doesn't have property 'Tenant', we should use 'TenantId' instead.

$rmSubscription = Get-AzureRmSubscription -SubscriptionId $global:SubscriptionId
 Select-AzureRmSubscription -SubscriptionName $rmSubscription.Name -TenantId $rmSubscription.Tenant.Id

$rmSubscription | Get-Member

With Azure PowerShell 4.2.1 no exception is thrown, but actually we pass null to '-TenantId' and Select-AzureRmSubscription method just ignores this option. Please consider to change 'Tenant.Id' to 'TenantId'.

Thanks for identifying this, it solved my problem too.

I'am using powershell 5.1+ and AzureRM 6.13.1 and fixed this issue by replacing Tenant.Id by TenentId like that :

Select-AzureRmSubscription -SubscriptionName $rmSubscription.Name -TenantId $rmSubscription.TenantId
