Unable to run module in Azure Automation Powershell Runbook #4

Tried to use the AzureVmSnapshot module in PowerShell runbook but failed.

Code:

`param ( [Parameter(Mandatory = $true)][string]$Subscription, [Parameter(Mandatory = $true)][string]$VMName, [Parameter(Mandatory = $true)][string]$resourceGroupName,
[Parameter(Mandatory = $false)]$storageType = "Premium_LRS"

)

Import-Module Az.Accounts Import-Module Az.Automation Import-Module Az.Compute Import-Module AzureVmSnapshots

Azure Automation connection settings

$connectionName = "AzureRunAsConnection" try {

Get the connection "AzureRunAsConnection "

$servicePrincipalConnection = Get-AutomationConnection -Name $connectionName         

"Logging in to Azure..."
Connect-AzAccount `
    -ServicePrincipal `
    -Subscription $Subscription `
    -TenantId $servicePrincipalConnection.TenantId `
    -ApplicationId $servicePrincipalConnection.ApplicationId `
    -CertificateThumbprint $servicePrincipalConnection.CertificateThumbprint

} catch { if (!$servicePrincipalConnection) { $ErrorMessage = "Connection $connectionName not found." throw $ErrorMessage } else { Write-Error -Message $.Exception throw $.Exception } }

OS DISK

New-AzVmSnapshot -VmName $VMName -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName

Error message:

This isn't related to the module. The module requires the Az.Compute module. For some reason, that module isn't available in the runbook.

I can run other Az.Compute cmdlets from a powershell runbook but cannot run the AzureVmSnapshots module. Right above my line to execute New-AzVmSnapshot I did a Get-AzVm -ResourceGroupName $myrg and get output just fine.

Verbose logging shows the following: image

It appears this is due to a limitation in AA Powershell runbooks. They cannot use parallel processing such as start-job.
