Find-AzureRmResource fails or cannot be found after you update Azure modules
This article provides a resolution to an issue in which the Find-AzureRmResource cmdlet fails or cannot be found after you update Azure modules.
Original product version: Azure Automation
Original KB number: 4338620
Symptoms
After you update the Microsoft Azure modules in your automation account, any runbook that uses the Find-AzureRmResource cmdlet fails and returns an exception, or it records an error entry that states that the program cannot find the Find-AzureRmResource cmdlet.
Cause
Starting in Microsoft AzureRM 6.0.0, the Find-AzureRmResource cmdlet functionality is merged with the Get-AzureRmResource cmdlet, and the Find-AzureRmResource cmdlet is removed. This is noted in the Azure PowerShell 6.0.0 migration guide.
Resolution
To fix this issue, update your runbooks to use Get-AzureRmResource instead of Find-AzureRmResource. For more information, see the usage of Get-AzureRmResource.
