Method ‘get_serializationsettings’ in type ‘Microsoft.azure.management

Recently, while trying to execute the New-AzureRmAutomationConnection command using PowerShell, I got the above error message. Below was the cmdlet I was executing for creating the AzureSQL database.

• The Term ‘Connect-AzureRmAccount’ is Not Recognized

$myConnectionAssetName = "AzureRunAsConnection"
$ConnectionFieldValues = @{"ApplicationId" = $Application.ApplicationId; "TenantId" = $TenantID.TenantId; "CertificateThumbprint" = $Cert.Thumbprint; "SubscriptionId" = $mySubscriptionId}
New-AzureRmAutomationConnection -ResourceGroupName $myResourceGroup -AutomationAccountName $AutomationAccountName -Name $myConnectionAssetName -ConnectionTypeName AzureServicePrincipal -ConnectionFieldValues $myConnectionFieldValues 

Error:

The exact error message is

Now to fix the above issue, you need to follow the below steps

Step-1:

Run your PowerShell ISE or Windows PowerShell as an administrator mode

Step-2:

Install the AzureRM module referring to my article No match was found for the specified search criteria and module name ‘AzureRM’

Step-3:

Once you have successfully installed the AzureRM module, You can run the below cmdlet again.

$myConnectionAssetName = "AzureRunAsConnection"
$ConnectionFieldValues = @{"ApplicationId" = $Application.ApplicationId; "TenantId" = $TenantID.TenantId; "CertificateThumbprint" = $Cert.Thumbprint; "SubscriptionId" = $mySubscriptionId}
New-AzureRmAutomationConnection -ResourceGroupName $myResourceGroup -AutomationAccountName $AutomationAccountName -Name $myConnectionAssetName -ConnectionTypeName AzureServicePrincipal -ConnectionFieldValues $myConnectionFieldValues 

Now you will not get that error “method ‘get_serializationsettings’ in type” after executing the above cmdlet.
