Azure Runbook - Create from gallery using a Powershell script


I was trying to create a RunBook in Azure Automation and I chose to use a Powershell script (Cmdlet). But the creation failed with an error because azure couldn't directly convert it and a manual edit is required to make it a "workflow". I am not a pro on PS and I understand you need to know how a workflow works. But my immediate goal is to get the Runbook working and hence trying to figure out an easy way to convert a PS script to a PS workflow for the purpose of runbook... Appreciate any help

Solution

  • Please see this blog post for info on PowerShell script to PowerShell Workflow conversion: http://azure.microsoft.com/blog/2014/11/25/introducing-the-azure-automation-script-converter/

    However, regardless of conversion, you can't interact with local files on your computer from Azure Automation, so this script won't work.
