Azure File - Error Snapshot - PowerShell

Hi all,

 

I want to deploy an Azure File (Storage Account) and use it as a Shared Folder in my Windows 10, up here all right. I´ve created a Runbook to launch shares snapshot automatically everyday (PowerShell). The code used is:

 

$connectionstring="DefaultEndpointsProtocol=https;AccountName=<name>;AccountKey=<key>;EndpointSuffix=core.windows.net"
$sharename=":work"
$ctx=New-AzureStorageContext -ConnectionString $connectionstring
$share=Get-AzureStorageShare -Context $ctx -Name work
$share.Snapshot()

 

The Runbook ends with de next error: 

 

Method invocation failed because [Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage.File.CloudFileShare] does not contain a method named
'Snapshot'.

 

 

This error is the same when trying these code in "Windows PowerShell ISE" client, but doesn´t appear in Cloud Shell (Azure Portal).

 

Please, somebody could help me?

 

Thanks in advance.

Juanma.

    Try importing or updating Azure.Storage module in the automation account, that worked for me.  I'm running something similar to schedule snapshots
