Azure PowerShell Module Az 7.4.0 released

Andres Bohren

Hi All,

Just a few Hours ago the new Microsoft Azure PowerShell Module AZ 7.4.0 has been released.

  • Microsoft Azure PowerShell Module Az 7.4.0

To check your installed Module and what Version is available in the PowerShell Gallery you can use the following commands

Get-InstalledModule AZ
Find-Module AZ

AZ is just a Wrapper - the Modules have names Az.*

Get-InstalledModule AZ.*

I’ve checked my installed Modules. It’s a mess - multiple Versions of the Modules.

Get-Module AZ.* -ListAvailable

So i’ve written a short Script to cleanup.

The Script is also available on my GitHub Repo Cleanup-AZModules.ps1

###############################################################################
# Cleanup-AzModules.ps1
# If you have multiple Versions of AZ.\* PowerShell Module installed
# This Scripts uninstalls the Old versions and installs only the Current Version
# 25.04.2022 V0.1 - Initial Draft - Andres Bohren
###############################################################################
#Script needs to Run as Administrator to uninstall/install PowerShell Modules
#Requires -RunAsAdministrator
#Remove loaded az.* Modules

Remove-Module az.*
#Iterate through Modules and uninstall

$Modules = Get-Module AZ.* -ListAvailable | Where {$\_.Name -ne "Az.Accounts"} | Select-Object Name -Unique
Foreach ($Module in $Modules)
{
    $ModuleName = $Module.Name
    $Versions = Get-Module $ModuleName -ListAvailable
    Foreach ($Version in $Versions)
    {
        $ModuleVersion = $Version.Version
        Write-Host "Uninstall-Module $ModuleName $ModuleVersion"
        Uninstall-Module $ModuleName -RequiredVersion $ModuleVersion
    }
}

#Uninstall Az.Accounts
$ModuleName = "Az.Accounts"
$Versions = Get-Module $ModuleName -ListAvailable
Foreach ($Version in $Versions)
{
    $ModuleVersion = $Version.Version
    Write-Host "Uninstall-Module $ModuleName $ModuleVersion"
    Uninstall-Module $ModuleName -RequiredVersion $ModuleVersion
}

#Install newest Module
Write-Host "Install newest AZ Module"
Install-Module AZ
Write-Host "Cleanup finished"

It takes a while to uninstall all the old modules and then the newest Modules

Just wait until “Cleanup finished” appears
