Azure PowerShell Error: Please provide a valid tenant or a valid subscription

You might get the “Please provide a valid tenant or a valid subscription” error when running some Azure powershell commands (I got it when I ran “Get-AzSKAzureServicesSecurityStatus”).

The first thing to make sure is that you have at least version 5 of PowerShell. You can find this by running “$PSVersionTable” and making sure your PSVersion value is 5.0 or greater.

In my case, what I found out was the reason I was getting this error was that the subscriptionid I was providing was not the same one as the account that I was logged in on the computer. So, what I had to do was to log in to Azure using “Login-AzureRmAccount”. Once I had done that, running the command worked flawlessly.

Set-AzureRmAppServicePlan throws “Long running operation failed with status 'Conflict'” error

I was trying to go from a standard tier to the free tier and I got a conflict error.

There are many reasons that you might get this error and they are typically related to some functionality not available in the free tier that you enabled in paid tiers. To figure out why, go into your App Service Plan and look at your activity log. You should an entry for operation name: “Update hosting plan” with a status of failed. If you look at the “Json” and search for “statusMessage”, you should be able to figure out why.

In my case the error was caused by the fact that I was using a hybrid connection.

"Cannot change to the target SKU 'Free' because the Hybrid Connections count will exceed the new limit of '0'\"
