Hi All,

I have created two PS script one for creating snapshot of the disk and other one is for the exporting the snapshot to blob storage both scripts are working fine individually but when i combining both the script i am getting below error:-

First Script:-

Select-AzureRmSubscription -SubscriptionName ‘Visual Studio Enterprise â€“ MPN’
$resourceGroupName = “Demo-Grp”
$vmName=“VM1”
$Location = “East US”
$snapshotName = “Snap-disk”
$vm = get-azureRmVm -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName -Name $vmName
$vmOSDisk=(Get-AzureRmVM -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName -Name $vmName).StorageProfile.OsDisk.Name
$Disk = Get-AzureRmDisk -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName -DiskName $vmOSDisk
$SnapshotConfig = New-AzureRmSnapshotConfig -SourceUri $Disk.Id -CreateOption Copy -Location $Location
$Snapshot=New-AzureRmSnapshot -Snapshot $snapshotConfig -SnapshotName `
$snapshotName -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName

Second Script:-

$resourceGroupName = ‘Demo-Grp’
$snapshotName = ‘Snap-disk’
$resourceGroupNameStorageAccount = ‘Demo-Grp’
$storageAccountName = ‘backup878’
$storageContainerName = ‘test’
$destinationVHDFileName = ‘Newsnap-disk’
$storageAccountKey = Get-AzureRmStorageAccountKey -resourceGroupName $resourceGroupNameStorageAccount -AccountName $storageAccountName
$sas = Grant-AzureRmSnapshotAccess -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName -SnapshotName $snapshotNameÂ -DurationInSecond 3600 -Access Read
$destinationContext = New-AzureStorageContext â€“storageAccountName $storageAccountName -StorageAccountKey ($storageAccountKey).Value[0]
Start-AzureStorageBlobCopy -AbsoluteUri $sas.AccessSAS -DestContainer $storageContainerName -DestContext $destinationContext -DestBlob $destinationVHDFileName

While combining getting below output:-

I haven’t used the Azure service you mention but it looks like you have some encoding issues.

Select-AzureRmSubscription -SubscriptionName 'Visual Studio Enterprise â€“ MPN'

â€“

$destinationContext = New-AzureStorageContext â€“storageAccountName

â€“

he Resource 'Microsoft.Compute/snapshots/Snap-diskï¿½' under resource group 'Demo-Grp'

Snap-diskï¿½’

Line |
  21 | … onContext = New-AzureStorageContext �storageAccountName $storageAccou …
    |               ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    | A positional parameter cannot be found that accepts argument 'backup878'.

Hi, and welcome to the PowerShell forum!

Pretty much as Mike said, you want to make sure you remove all those special character, maybe also look at the code with a Hex Editor so you can see possibly funky symbols used.

Select-AzureRmSubscription -SubscriptionName 'Visual Studio Enterprise MPN'
$resourceGroupName = "Demo-Grp"
$vmName = "VM1"
$Location = "East US"
$snapshotName = "Snap-disk"
$vm = get-azureRmVm -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName -Name $vmName
$vmOSDisk = (Get-AzureRmVM -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName -Name $vmName).StorageProfile.OsDisk.Name
$Disk = Get-AzureRmDisk -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName -DiskName $vmOSDisk
$SnapshotConfig = New-AzureRmSnapshotConfig -SourceUri $Disk.Id -CreateOption Copy -Location $Location
$Snapshot = New-AzureRmSnapshot -Snapshot $snapshotConfig -SnapshotName $snapshotName -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName

# Second Script
$resourceGroupName = 'Demo-Grp'
$snapshotName = 'Snap-disk'
$resourceGroupNameStorageAccount = 'Demo-Grp'
$storageAccountName = 'backup878'
$storageContainerName = 'test'
$destinationVHDFileName = 'Newsnap-disk'
$storageAccountKey = Get-AzureRmStorageAccountKey -resourceGroupName $resourceGroupNameStorageAccount -AccountName $storageAccountName
$sas = Grant-AzureRmSnapshotAccess -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName -SnapshotName $snapshotNameÂ -DurationInSecond 3600 -Access Read
$destinationContext = New-AzureStorageContext -storageAccountName $storageAccountName -StorageAccountKey ($storageAccountKey).Value[0]
Start-AzureStorageBlobCopy -AbsoluteUri $sas.AccessSAS -DestContainer $storageContainerName -DestContext $destinationContext -DestBlob $destinationVHDFileName
