Azure Startup run book stop working, not sure what happened?

Question

The following script below worked for awhile, not sure why I keep getting this error:

Select-AzureSubscription : The subscription name Visual Studio Ultimate with MSDN doesn't exist. Parameter name: name

...etc..

Get-AzureVM : No default subscription has been designated. Use Select-AzureSubscription -Default to set the default subscription. At RICSVMStartup:13 char:13

Here's the powerscript:

workflow RICSVMStartup
{
    # Grab the credential to use to authenticate
    $Cred = Get-AutomationPSCredential -Name 'AzureCredential'

    #Connect to Azure
    Add-AzureAccount -Credential $Cred

    #Select the Azure subscription you want to work against
    Select-AzureSubscription -SubscriptionName "Visual Studio Ultimate with MSDN"

    # Get all Azure VMs in the subscription that are not stopped and deallocated and shut down
    inlinescript
    {
        Get-AzureVM | where{$_.status -ne 'Started' -and $_.name -like 'RICS*' -and $_.name -ne 'RICSDC2'} | start-AzureVM 
    }
}

Answer 1

In brief, you must have a server administrator account and create a AD account, set the new AD Account as co-administrator in SETTING>Administrators, set the new AD account as credential in Automation>ASSET, and run your code: $Cred = Get-AutomationPSCredential -Name 'your new AD account'. The above answer refers to more information links.

Answer 2

I encounter these errors when using Live Id as the credential to connect to Azure. The solution is to use Azure Active Directory OrgID credential-based authentication, please follow the steps in this blog to create an Azure AD user and then use the OrgId to create the Automation credential asset.
