throw "Could not retrieve '$VMCredentialName' credential asset. Check that you created this asset in the Automation service."
}
# Set up Azure connection by calling the Connect-Azure runbook. You should call this runbook after

As the first error says, you need to use an Azure AD credential to authenticate to Azure from your runbook, not a Microsoft account credential. See http://azure.microsoft.com/blog/2014/08/27/azure-automation-authenticating-to-azure-using-azure-active-directory/ for more details on how to create an Azure AD OrgID credential.
The other errors are due to the first error.
