Azure Automation Powershell runbook failed to load assembly

Question

Code That I am running on azure portal

Write-Output "Starting"
$assemblyPath = "C:\Modules\Global\Azure\Compute\Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.dll"
dir $assemblyPath

Write-Output "1"        
Add-Type -Path $assemblyPath
Write-Output "2"

Output

Any idea on this?

of course it failed, there is no the path if you run from azure portal. You should run it from your local pc which can target the path you specified. — Ivan Yang
You can explain more clearly, like after add-type cmdlet, what do your want to do next? — Ivan Yang
I need to run this through using azure portal. How can I do? — Sumit Garg
@IvanYang I want to send the mail using exchange services instead of SMTP — Sumit Garg

To load the .dll assembly, you could refer to the steps.

1.Navigate to your automation account in the portal-> Modules -> Add Module, compress the Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.dll file to Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.zip, then upload. After uploading, you will find it in the portal.

2.Change the $assemblyPath, your complete command should be as below, it will work fine.

Write-Output "Starting"
$assemblyPath = "C:\Modules\User\Microsoft.ApplicationInsights\Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.dll"
dir $assemblyPath

Write-Output "1"        
Add-Type -Path $assemblyPath
Write-Output "2"

Output:
