Azure Powershell Select-AzureSubscription with subscription id
-

Question
I am using Powershell Azure cmdlets to do some operation on each subscription I have.
However, all my subscriptions have the same name. So if I do an operation like:
$subs | ForEach-Object {
Select-AzureSubscription -Current -SubscriptionName $_.SubscriptionName
$services = Get-AzureService
Write-Output "$($services .Length) services under $($_.SubscriptionId) subscription"
}
it always works for the same subscription because the subscriptions only differ in subscription ID.
And the Select-AzureSubscription
does not have a -SubscriptionId
parameter.
Any ideas how can I find a workaround?
Solution
Edit the publishsettings file, giving each subscription a different name. Then re-import. At that point, you'll be able to easily access each one uniquely by name.
OTHER TIPS
Not sure if this was added later, but as of Nov 2015 you can use -SubscriptionId
Write-Host "Selecting Azure subscription using id"
Select-AzureSubscription -SubscriptionId $subscriptionId
If you are an account administrator for your account, you can change the name of your subscription. This way when you or anyone else who has access to the subscription downloads publishsettings, the name will be set the way you want.
