Remove-Azureaccount (Can't get Azure credentials to stick in Powershel)

Hi all,

I am wanting to use Powershell (v4) to automate backup and restore of SQL Azure DB to Azure Storage. I am using certificate method....download publishsettings file for my subscription and import via PS console command Import-AzurePublishSettingsFile. I have verified that the cert is imported and registered on machine Get-Item cert:\\CurrentUser\My\$thumbprint.  Script is failing with "Get-AzureSqlDatabaseServer : Your Windows Azure credential in the Windows PowerShell session has expired. Please use Add-AzureAccount to login again." message.  If I authenticate in the console using Add-AzureAccount it all starts working again. Then if I close the session or let it time out and try to run it I get the prompt/error again. This obviously does not work for automating with scripts and I am in need of some help in solving this issue. Any help appreciated.

I'd try this:

- Run REMOVE-AZUREACCOUNT first, before you start running your scripts, make sure you get rid of that azure account from your PS Session

Then run your script using the publish settings file and cert mgmt. This should work. If you use Add-azureaccount it overwrites certificate authorization. If you remove-azureaccount it will fall back to certficiate authorization.

Let me know how it goes - Matt Sampson
