Get-AzVM: The current subscription type is not permitted to perform operations on any provider namespace. Please use a different subscription.
You receive the following error message once you have connected to your Azure Tenant and try to run a basic command like Get-AzVM.
How to resolve this error?
To resolve this error, we simple just have to change the subscription where we have all our resources located in.
If you notice when your PSSession was setup it connected to a different Azure Subscription. So we basically just have to change the subscription
Example of the wrong subscription.
As you can see from the above warning, because the tenant has more than one subscription it will automatically connect to the first subscription and in this case the first subscription is the wrong one so we need to change it to the right one.
How to change to the correct subscription?
We need to run the following cmd to change the subscription.
Set-AzContext -Subscription "xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx"
(the xxx-xxx represents the subscription object id)
If you do not know the subscription object id, you can run the following to get a list of your subscriptions.
Get-AzSubscription
Hope this helps the next person and saves some time.
