The 'Get-azVM' command was found in the module 'Az.Compute', but the module could not be loaded

Question

I have used Az module in powershell script which is getting executed from powershell core but getting error while executing the script from application (.Net core SDK 2.1).

$VMExistanceCheck = Get-azVM -ResourceGroupName $VMResourceGroup -Name $NewComputerName -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue

I checked that Az.Compute module had been imported there.

I added Import-Module Az.compute -verbose -force inside the script also.

I got the following error while the script is getting invoked from application using runspace(System.Management.Automation, Version=6.1.0.0):

System.Management.Automation.RuntimeException: The 'Get-azVM' command was found in the module 'Az.Compute', but the module could not be loaded. For more information, run 'Import-Module Az.Compute'. ---> System.Management.Automation.CommandNotFoundException: The 'Get-azVM' command was found in the module 'Az.Compute', but the module could not be loaded. For more information, run 'Import-Module Az.Compute'.

'Get-Module -ListAvailable ' shows that Az.Compute module is avilable but while the command 'import-module Az.Compute' is executed using Powershell 6, nothing is importing.

You can provide more details about what error do you get? If all the Azure PowerShell cannot execute? And do you log in before you execute the Azure PowerShell? — Charles Xu, Mar 27 '19 at 02:37
Add-AzAccount and Login-AzAccount are executing inside the script before the 'Get-azVM' command — SRoy, Mar 27 '19 at 06:21
You can try to import the Az.compute module before running the script. — Charles Xu, Mar 27 '19 at 06:51
'Import-Module Az.compute -verbose -force' is there at the beginning of the script.I had also added 'Import-Module -Name Az.Accounts ' which is working fine. — SRoy, Mar 27 '19 at 07:06

Install-Module -Name Az -AllowClobber -Scope CurrentUser

Run that command. Restart Powershell. Run import-module az.compute again

I checked the log of PowerShellCore/Operational from Event viewer and found the following error:

Error Message = Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage, Version=9.3.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35'. Could not find or load a specific file. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131621) Fully Qualified Error ID = System.IO.FileLoadException,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.ImportModuleCommand

I have installed Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage and finally the powershell script is getting invoked and the Get-AZVM command is successfully getting executed.

This package has been deprecated. See https://www.nuget.org/packages/WindowsAzure.Storage/ . It appears to have been replaced by multiple packages Microsoft.Azure.Storage.Blob, Microsoft.Azure.Storage.File, Microsoft.Azure.Storage.Queue, and Microsoft.Azure.Storage.Common. — Llama D'Attore, May 20 '20 at 08:14
