I'm looking for a way to use Azure PowerShell commands to do a deployment swap for an Azure App Service (previously Azure Websites). All of the posts I've seen say to use the command
Move-Deployment -ServiceName
but that appears to only be valid for cloud services and swapping between Production and Staging predefined slots.
I have a website with deployment slots that I've defined and I can use the following command to get information about the website site, but I don't see how to swap it:
Get-AzureWebsite -Name "sitenamehere" -Slot test
Could this be what you're looking for?
Switch-AzureWebsiteSlot [[-Name] <String> ] [[-Slot1] <String> ] [[-Slot2] <String> ] [-Force] [-Confirm] [-WhatIf] [ <CommonParameters>]
The solution is to use the command
Switch-AzureWebsiteSlot -Name "sitenamehere"
More details are provided in this blog post http://blogs.msdn.com/b/harikharan/archive/2015/01/01/swap-slots-in-azure-web-site-when-there-are-2-or-more-staging-slots-using-azure-powershell.aspx

I am attempting to login to an Azure account through a PowerShell script by means of making use of a publishsettings file; However, I am still finding that it is requiring me to login to my account using Login-AzureRmAccount, regardless of having those credentials.
My step-by step looks something like this:
Clear out all accounts that may be available:
Get-AzureAccount | ForEach-Object { Remove-AzureAccount $_.ID -Force }
Download the PublishSettings file: Import-AzurePublishSettingsFile –PublishSettingsFile $PublishSettingsFileNameWithPath
Select the Azure subscription using the subscription ID:
Select-AzureRMSubscription -SubscriptionId $SubscriptionId
And finally, create a new resource group in the subscription before deploying it: New-AzureRmResourceGroup -Name $ResourceGroupName -Location $ResourceGroupLocation -Verbose -Force 2>> .\errorCIMS_RG.txt | Out-File .\rgDetailsCIMS_RG.txt
However, this is when an error is thrown: Run Login-AzureRmAccount to login.
Assuming I have the PublishSettings file, and it hasnt expired, why would this be giving back an error?
As Mihail said, we should check Azure PowerShell version first, and install the latest version.
We can run this command to list Azure PowerShell version:
Get-Module -ListAvailable -Name Azure -Refresh
By the way, Import-AzurePublishSettingsFile work for ASM, New-AzureRmResourceGroup is ARM command, so if you want to create resource group, you should Login-AzureRmAccount first.
Note:
The AzureResourceManager module does not support publish settings
files.
More information about Import-AzurePublishSettingsFile, please refer to this link.
I solved this problem by updating to last version of azure powershell cmdlet.
You can find last one here:
https://github.com/Azure/azure-powershell/releases
I'm trying to run some azure powershell commands as part of my Visual Studio Team Services build using Azure Resource Manager.
It gives me the following error:
No default subscription has been designated. Use Select-AzureSubscription -Default to set the default subscription.
The commands I'm trying to run:
$website = Get-AzureWebsite | where {$_.Name -eq 'my-website'}
Write-Output ("##vso[task.setvariable variable=DeployUrl;]$website.HostNames")
When I tried to run it locally, I had to call
Add-AzureAccount
Select-AzureRmSubscription -SubscriptionName "Visual Studio Premium with MSDN"
to get it working, but it is not possible in the VSTS build.
UPDATE:
I've configured it to use the azure classic mode instead of resource manager, at it works. I don't think that it is a feasible solution for production as azure classic mode is obsolete.
Since you are using Azure Resource Manager, please check the things below:
Make sure "Azure Resource Manager" service endpoint is added correctly.
Use "Get-AzureRmWebApp" command instead of "Get-AzureWebsite" command just as bmoore mentioned.
I have tested it at my side, it works correctly.
My PowerShell script:
$website = Get-AzureRmWebApp | where {$_.Name -eq 'eddieapp0930'}
Write-Host $website.HostNames
Run from "Azure PowerShell Script" task:
Thank you for your question.
If you are using service manager mode(classic mode), the correct cmdlet is:
Add-AzureAccount
Get-AzureSubscription -SubscriptionName “name” | Select-AzureSubscription
If you are using Resource Manager, the correct cmdlet is:
Login-AzureRmAccount
Get-AzureRmSubscription –SubscriptionName "name" | Select-AzureRmSubscription
or just use -SubscriptionId instead of -SubscriptionName.
More information about ASM and ARM, please refer to the link below:

If you still have questions, welcome to post back here. Thanks.
New-AzureWebsite Cmdlet -
New-AzureWebsite [[-Name] <String> ] [[-Location] <String> ] [[-Hostname] <String> ] [[-PublishingUsername] <String> ] [-Git] [-GitHub] [-GithubCredentials <PSCredential> ] [-GithubRepository <String> ] [-Slot <String> ] [ <CommonParameters>]
What is the difference between Name and HostName? In what situations we can use them?
Both parameters will determine the addresses of your website.
The Name represents the website name, and it will determine the default website address allocated by Azure (it is a subdomain of azurewebsites.net).
So having the next comand:
New-AzureWebsite -Name MySite
Will generate an azure website with the next address: MySite.azurewebsites.net.
The Hostname represents additional domain name to be attached to your website. You can use it in case you have your own domain name.
So modifying the previous command:
New-AzureWebsite -Name MySite -Hostname MyWebsite.com
It will generate an azure website with the next addresses: MySite.azurewebsites.net and MyWebsite.com.
The Azure Portal equivalent operation for Hostname parameter is explained here - Web Sites Custom Domain Names
I'm trying to move some of my resources (Azure Web Apps, Azure SQLs, Redis caches) from one resource group to another. I'm using the Azure Resource Manager PowerShell cmdlets.
Here's what I've tried:
PS C:\> Move-AzureResource -DestinationResourceGroupName NewResourceGroup -ResourceId "/subscriptions/someguid/resourceGroups/Default-Web-WestEurope/providers/Microsoft.Web/sites/somesite"
Or:
PS C:\> Get-AzureResource -ResourceName somesite | Move-AzureResource -DestinationResourceGroupName NewResourceGroup
Or:
just Move-AzureResource, hitting enter and supplying the parameters one by one.
None of the commands seems to work. They just don't do anything. No error, no output.
When I changed the debug preference to $DebugPreference = "Continue" I got only the following:
DEBUG: 12:16:06 - MoveAzureResourceCommand begin processing with ParameterSet '__AllParameterSets'.
DEBUG: 12:16:06 - using account id 'my#account.tld'...
Please note that I'm able to create a new resource group (New-AzureResourceGroup), list resource groups (Get-AzureResourceGroup), list resources (Get-AzureResource), etc.
Note: you have to call Switch-AzureMode AzureResourceManager before you can use the cmdlets. The authentication is done by Add-AzureAccount.
Articles I've been referring to:
Moving resources between Azure Resource Groups
Move-AzureResource
Using Azure PowerShell with Azure Resource Manager
GitHub - Using Azure PowerShell with Azure Resource Manager
Reading this azure forum it looks like they have implemented the cmdlet but not all resources support being moved yet.
We have released a new powershell cmdlet to move resources across resource groups. Not all resources have support yet, but the "main" ones do like hosted services, virtual machines & storage accounts.
Looking back at the example I was following, this does only use VM's. So based on this I think websites aren't supported yet. That fact that no error or warning is returned for unsupported resources is a bit poor.
Though not all resources are currently supported, I understand the current version - 0.9.1 - does have a bug which means that even a supported resource may not be moved with the symptoms as seen by the author of the question. I understand this is being worked on for the next release, but in the interim (as a temp. work around) the previous powershell cmdlets release of 2 versions ago should work fine. https://github.com/Azure/azure-powershell/releases
The original issue is fixed in the 0.9.4 release. I just tried and it works.
FYI. To move a VM using Move-AzureResourceGroup you need to move the containing cloud service and all its VMs at the same time. For example:
Get-AzureResource -ResourceGroupName OriginalResourceGroup | where { $_.ResourceType -match 'Microsoft.ClassicCompute' } | Move-AzureResource -DestinationResourceGroupName NewResourceGroup
By default, the resources in a cloud service are put in a resource group with the same name as the DNS name of the cloud service.
For some reason, Azure PowerShell Version 1.0 has trouble moving over web apps from one Resource Group to another. If you follow the instrctions below, you will be able to move the web app over via powershell.
Download Azure PowerShell Version 1. The below instructions only work for this version. Type the commands below in order.
1) **Login-AzureRmAccount** (a login window will pop up asking for your azure credentials, type them in)
2) **Get-AzureRmResource -ResourceGroupName "NameOfResourceGroup" -ResourceName "WebAppName"** (if you are moving over a website, you will see 2 files, you need the one that is a resource type of Microsoft.Web/sites)
3) **Get-AzureRmResource -ResourceGroupName "NameOfResourceGroup" -ResourceName "WebAppName" -ResourceType "Microsoft.Web/sites"**
4) Assign value 3 to a variable of your name choice. I Chose $a, so **$a = Get-AzureRmResource -ResourceGroupName "NameOfResourceGroup" -ResourceName "WebAppName" -ResourceType "Microsoft.Web/sites"**
5) **Move-AzureRmResource -DestinationResourceGroup "DestinationResourceGroup" -ResourceId $a.ResourceId**
6) It will ask you if you are sure type "Y" and hit enter.
This question refers to the application slots feature for Azure Server Manager (ASM) WebSites that enables the ability to create a staging website under an existing one. I'd like to swap my site's staging and production environments using Powershell, but I haven't found the way to do it with the currently available commands. Does anyone have an idea how to do it?
Switch-AzureWebsiteSlot -Name "your web site name" -Force
You can use this PowerShell cmdlet:
Switch-AzureWebsiteSlot [[-Name] ] [[-Slot1] ] [[-Slot2] ] [-Force] [-Confirm] [-WhatIf] [ ]
[-Force] parameter is used in order to not confirm the swap operation and directly execute
An Example:
C:\PS>Switch-AzureWebsiteSlot -Name YourWebsite
