You shoudl try to set $env:PSModulePath it looks like your modules aren't being found. Did you publish the modules to your Azure environment?

    I have just deployed the project using publish to azure and in package file i can see reference to dll's. do i need to explicitly publish the dll to azure. can you tell me how can we do that.

    Thanks

      Hi KJS,

       

      I'm having to make some assumptions. But if your module files are in Azure then you migth find that they aren't in the location where you expect them to be.

       

      In general I first get the path where I'm running my scripts form:

       

       

       $path = Split-Path -parent $MyInvocation.MyCommand.Definition

      Then I set my module path 

       

       

      if ($env:PSModulePath -notlike "*$path\Modules\MyModules\Modules*")
{
      $env:PSModulePath += ";$path\Modules\MyModules\Modules"
}

      you might find that when you build abnd publish your project the module files are found in (and therefore published to) the bin/debug folder.

        Thanks for the reply 

         

        I tried refrencing the path in the c# code but it did not worked

        InitialSessionState initialSession = InitialSessionState.CreateDefault();
initialSession.ImportPSModule(new string[] { "D:\\home\\site\\wwwroot\\app_data\\jobs\\triggered\\NMLSiteStorage\\Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell" });

         

        this is the path in azure web job where all dll's are and it also has the code dll 

        D:\\home\\site\\wwwroot\\app_data\\jobs\\triggered\\NMLSiteStorage\\

         

        Can you please tell do you want me to add it before the script with the above path 

         

         $path = Split-Path -parent $MyInvocation.MyCommand.Definition
        if ($env:PSModulePath -notlike "*$path\Modules\MyModules\Modules*")
{
      $env:PSModulePath += ";$path\Modules\MyModules\Modules"
}


         const string connectScript = "Import-Module Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell \r\n $AdminUrl = \"https://tenant-admin.sharepoint.com\" \r\n $UserName = \"user@tenant.onmicrosoft.com\" \r\n $Password = \"password\" \r\n $SecurePassword = $Password | ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText -Force \r\n $Credentials = New-Object -TypeName System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -argumentlist $userName, $SecurePassword \r\n Connect-SPOService -Url $AdminUrl -Credential $Credentials \r\n Get-SPOSite -Detailed -Limit All | select * ";


        Thanks
