I’m keep getting the above error when trying to execute Start-AzureService.

Following information prompted when executing Get-AzureAccount: 

Id                    Type Subscriptions                        Tenants

And following information prompted when executing Get-AzureSubscription:

Use this one to select your default subscription: 

Select-AzureSubscription -Default -SubscriptionName "My Production (Pay-As-You-Go)"

You can also choose to use -SubscriptionId (and the GUID) instead of the name.

For more information on the Select-AzureSubscription commandlet; type Get-Help Select-AzureSubscription .

If this doesn't work, try running first, before selecting your subscription:

 Add-AzureAccount

Update if you're still facing trouble:

If you are using AzureRM / with old cmdlets (or just AzureRM) and are still facing problems I would strongly recommend you to check if you have multiple versions of AzureRM.Profile module . I've encountered this numerous times when one version is installed under Program Files and another under my user profile (or somewhere else in PSModulePath).

To list what modules / versions are installed : 

Get-Module AzureRm.Profile -ListAvailable

If you have multiple instances and versions of this it might create some trouble with some of your cmdlets.

    To get help, it's actually `Get-Help`. – David Makogon Jun 19 '16 at 20:33

    Hi CmdrTchort, Not helps. Using Select-AzureSubscription -Default -SubscriptionName "My Production (Pay-As-You-Go)" prompts we with "WARNING: Current and Default parameters have been deprecated. Select-AzureSubscription will always update the Default Subscription" and Start-AzureService : No default subscription has been designated. When afterword’s try to use Select-AzureSubscription -Default to set the default subscription. is prompted again when trying to use Start-AzureService -PassThru -Profile STAGING -ServiceName myService. – albertsha Jun 20 '16 at 06:49

When I tried to Select-AzureSubscription it was giving me the error "Subscription does not exist" when I was passing 100% correct subscription name or subscription Id that I found on Azure portal and from powershell:

$account = Login-AzureRmAccount
$account.Context.Subscription.SubscriptionId
$account.Context.Subscription.SubscriptionName

Adding Azure account fixed the problem for me:

Add-AzureAccount
