How to use latest AzureRM in a VSTS task

Question

I want to execute a command to remove a topic or queue on a remote azure resource group. One of the commands is 'Get-AzureRmServiceBusQueue'.

I use the Azure Powershell task (using the Azure Resource Manager) within a hosted agent of VSTS. This task is using the Azure Powershell 2.0.1.

When I perform the release the agent is returning this failure:

"[error]The term 'Get-AzureRmServiceBusQueue' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again."

I checked that the ServiceBus cmdlet is only provided in newer versions of the Azure Powershell (for example: the latest 4.3.1).

Can I perform a 'Install-Module -Name AzureRM' ?

I have not used VSTS nor do I have an account to test with, but, if it is running PowerShell version 5 or later you should be able to run the install cmdlet as shown. You can also combine it with the -RequiredVersion parameter to be sure you get a consistent version for each build. — Persistent13

According to your description, I test in my lab. Currently, if you use the latest version Azure PowerShell, VSTS task uses 4.2.1 version. cmdlet Get-AzureRmServiceBusQueue works on my task.

Agent queue I use Hosted VS2017. Here is the log I get.
