The name of an Automation connection asset that contains an Azure AD service principal with authorization for the subscription you want to start VMs in. To use an asset with a different name you can pass the asset name as a runbook input parameter or change the default value for this input parameter. .PARAMETER ResourceGroupName Mandatory All VMs in the sequence list, must be located in this resource group. .PARAMETER Sequence Mandatory A sequence of VM names of a resource group and waiting times in seconds. The informations are separated with commas. Example: vm1, vm2, 60, vm3 This stops vm1, then vm2, then waiting 1 minute and afterwards vm3 will be stopped. .NOTES AUTHOR: Thomas Zuehlke LASTEDIT: Januar, 2020 #> # Returns strings with status messages [OutputType([String])] param ( [Parameter(Mandatory=$false)] [String] $AzureConnectionAssetName = "AzureRunAsConnection", [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)] [String] $ResourceGroupName, [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)] [String] $Sequence ) try { # Connect to Azure using service principal auth $ServicePrincipalConnection = Get-AutomationConnection -Name $AzureConnectionAssetName Write-Output "Logging in to Azure..." $Null = Add-AzAccount ` -ServicePrincipal ` -TenantId $ServicePrincipalConnection.TenantId ` -ApplicationId $ServicePrincipalConnection.ApplicationId ` -CertificateThumbprint $ServicePrincipalConnection.CertificateThumbprint } catch { if(!$ServicePrincipalConnection) { throw "Connection $AzureConnectionAssetName not found." } else { throw $_.Exception } } $elems = $Sequence.Split(",") foreach($elem in $elems){ $elem = $elem.Trim() [int]$seconds = 0 [bool]$result = [int]::TryParse($elem, [ref]$seconds) if($result -eq $true) { Write-Output "Sleeping $seconds ..."
