Please use a different subscription?
One of my automated scripts suddenly stopped working. I saw the following error message in Azure Automation:
Get-AzureRmStorageAccount : The current subscription type is not permitted to perform operations on any provider namespace. Please use a different subscription.
I was surprised because this script has been running daily for more than a year, why shouldn’t it work now?
An easy fix though…
Add the following command to your script and adjust the subscription to your own subscription.
Set-AzureRmContext -Subscription SUBSCRIPTION
The subscription with us has been the same for ages, so why I suddenly had to add this, I still do not understand. It will solve the problem though.
I thought you only added this if you have multiple subscriptions within your Azure environment. It may be that this has recently changed.
For more about Set-AzureRMContext, you can best go to this Docs post from Microsoft.
