Azure PowerShell - No default subscription has been designated

-
I came across this error after installing Azure PowerShell via WebPI and I launched Azure PowerShell using Administrator.

“Get-AzureRemoteAppCollectionUsageDetails: No default subscription has been designated”

Quiet strange as I had logged in using my account details and authenticated successfully, imported Azure Module by using the command “Import-Module Azure”.

I was trying to explore the cmdlets in Azure PowerShell and build a VM from the set of commands, to take a next step I had to get my Subscription and Set it before I can view or gather any information on my Subscription and view my setup I had in Azure Portal.

Detailed error information from Azure PowerShell:
Get-AzureRemoteAppCollectionUsageDetails : No default subscription has been designated. Use Select-AzureSubscription
-Default <subscriptionName> to set the default subscription.
At line:1 char:1
+ Get-AzureRemoteAppCollectionUsageDetails
    + CategoryInfo          : CloseError: (:) [Get-AzureRemoteAppCollectionUsageDetails], ApplicationException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Management.RemoteApp.Cmdlets.GetAzureRemoteAppCollectionUsageDetails

I explored all the cmdlets and came across one to Add an Azure Account, I tried to read more information on this from Get-Help Add-AzureAccount command and the information was very useful.

Desciption

The Add-AzureAccount cmdlet makes your Azure account and its subscriptions available in Windows PowerShell. It's like logging into your Azure account in Windows PowerShell. To log out of the account, use the Remove-AzureAccount cmdlet.
Add-AzureAccount downloads information about your Azure account and saves it in a subscription data file in your roaming user profile. It also gets an access token that allows Windows PowerShell to access your Azure account on your behalf. When the command completes, you can manage your Azure account in Windows PowerShell. There are two different ways to make your Azure account available to Windows PowerShell. You can use the Add-AzureAccount cmdlet, which uses Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) authentication access tokens.

Results

Once I executed the command Add-AzureAccount, it prompted me to login to the portal and successfully retrieved my Subscription details and added in my current session.







Following adding my Subscription I was able to run all the commands to retrieve my Subscription details and execute Set commands to prepare a Virtual Machine.

I had configured a Virtual Network Gateway and Remote App Collection, I was able to retrieve all of them and modify accordingly. 


Hope this helps anyone having issues with Azure Power Shell to start with.


Enjoy PowerShelling :)

Windows 11 22H2 RDP disconnects and freezes randomly

Namaste Everyone. I have been following and reading many forums with the similar issue of RDP session freezing or either getting disconnected frequently. Logs have not proved anything exceptional or drastic changes in the environment, however I was able to test this in my lab and have traced some Network Logs via the Wireshark and could see retransmision packets between the client and the server. This all started after the update to Windows 11 22H2. The resolution is to either rollback the 22H2 on the client or apply this registry or ADMX setting via the Group Policy. My theory is that after looking at the logs in my client is that the problem is due to the fact that the RDS connection is trying to connect over UDP and is not trying to connect over TCP if the UDP fails or gets block for some reason. So either you can manually set the registry in the client by following the below step: Browse to the below Registry Path with administrator account: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows

Windows 2019 Server Change TimeZone error "Unable to continue" You Do not have permissions to perform this task.

 Namaste everyone, During the install of a new Azure AD Connect software I was provided a brand new Windows 2019 Server Datacenter Edition and this was fully patched and updated with the Security patches. There were no Group Policies with exception of the Domain Policy and a SCCM Server Policy for patching. I noticed the time was out of sync an hour as the server was located in the different region and all other servers were set to local region settings. So the usual step is to try and change the date and time from the Control Panel, however when I tried to update the time I received a message that I cannot change the time. "Unable to continue" You Do not have permissions to perform this task. Please contact your administrator for help. The simple fix to use the Get-Timezone and Set-Timezone PowerShell commands,  Get-TimeZone -ListAvailable | where StandardName -like "*GM*"    ( This command will extract the specific Timezone with the words GM in the StandardName, y
