“ Get-InstalledModule -name az ” Command gives 'No result Found'" But all Az commands works

Question

I had to check if Az or AzureRM module is installed on some machines.

But I faced one issue where all Az commands work from PowerShell but when I execute Get-InstalledModule -name az it gives the below error:

PackageManagement\Get-Package : No match was found for the specified search criteria and module names At C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\PowerShellGet\1.0.0.1\PSModule.psm1:2216 char:9 + PackageManagement\Get-Package @PSBoundParameters | Microsoft. ... + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (Microsoft.Power...lets.GetPackage:GetPackage) [Get-Pac + FullyQualifiedErrorId : NoMatchFound,Microsoft.PowerShell.PackageManagement.Cmdlets.GetPackage

Need to understand why Get-InstalledModule command not giving the expected result.

Try with other command available in powershell Get-Module -ListAvailable . This option will display all the installed modules. As you said powershell is working for all the az commands, this option might work for you :)
