Azure Runbooks Issue

Question

I've included my code below... All i'm trying to do is loop this runbook through specific subscriptions in our Azure environment and have it report on the backups performed in these subscriptions. When testing it in Powershell ISE it works perfectly fine. In runbooks not at all, it also doesn't give me any errors so no idea whats happening.... Please HELP!

$connectionName = "AzureRunAsConnection"

try{
    #Getting the service principal connection "AzureRunAsConnection"
    $servicePrincipalConnection = Get-AutomationConnection -name $connectionName

    "Logging into Azure..."
    Add-AzAccount -ServicePrincipal -TenantID $servicePrincipalConnection.TenantID -ApplicationID $servicePrincipalConnection.ApplicationID -CertificateThumbprint $servicePrincipalConnection.CertificateThumbprint

}
catch{
    if(!$servicePrincipalConnection){
        $ErrorMessage = "Connection $connectionName not found."
        throw $ErrorMessage
    }else {
        Write-Error -Message $_.Exception
        throw $_.Exception
    }
}

if($err) {
throw $err
}

Send-Email

Answer 1

When you execute a script as Azure Automation runbook, I suggest you to save the AzureBackupReport$(Get-date -f ddMMyyyy).html file in $env:temp and also for sending email, I suggest you to use Invoke-RestMethod cmdlet instead of Send-MailMessage cmdlet because as per this Azure document Invoke-RestMethod cmdlet approach is suggested to use for sending an email from an Azure Automation runbook.

Same Azure document also has an example runbook for reference so I suggest you to check it as reference.
