Hi Kidd_Ip,I don't think this will work. I forgot to mention that creating the azure function is part of the automation. It's scheduled to download the files from an external site, and instead of storing in the azure blob storage. I would like to download the files to the azure VM for further processing.I looked at PowerShell and AzCopy and I'm not getting anywhere. If there is a easier way, I'm all ears.
