The term 'Add-AzureAccount' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file

Question

I am trying to use this azure commandlets form C# application that is console job hosted in my azure Virtual machine. this job runs more then once in a day automatically but my azure commandlets are fails to execute. yesterday that works fine but after a day it is not working please help me. ☺

Note : here i am doing some administration task and i am using organizational account. but it fails to add account other commandlets goes fail to work.

Can you please let us know how exactly you are trying to connect to azure? Through c# you can use publishsettingfile to connect to azure. Else you can opt Azure runbooks if you are performing some scheduling kind of stuff. — Aatif Akhter, Sep 16 '15 at 16:53

It's renamed to Add-AzureAccount.

How is this different from what the OP has said they are using in the title? – Martin Smith Jul 03 '16 at 16:26
I suspect the OP edited his question. Now my answer doesn't make sense. Will delete. – josullivan Jul 04 '16 at 22:37
If they had edited it the question would have an "edited" link to the version history. – Martin Smith Jul 07 '16 at 07:16

I'm assuming that the original question was "The term 'Login-AzureRmAccount' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file. I'm seeing the same thing, despite "Install-Module AzureRM" having been done (from an elevated powershell prompt) and "Get-Module AzureRM" returning a version of 4.3.1 (i.e. powershell tools being installed).

The first part of the solution for me was to also do "Install-Module Azure" (from an elevated powershell prompt) as well after which "Add-AzureAccount" worked. However a command such as "New-AzureRmResourceGroup" still failed with "Run Login-AzureRmAccount to login".

The second part of the solution was simply to reboot, after which:

Add-AzureRmAccount
New-AzureRmResourceGroup -Name wibble -Location UKSouth

worked.
