Method ‘get_SerializationSettings’ error when Login-AzureRMAccount

Recently, while trying to execute the script to upload and download the file from the Azure storage container using PowerShell, I got the above error.

The complete PowerShell script was as below

Login-AzureRmAccount
$Keys2 = "Coro2SvGOTD+nT3YdaKCrnauzWvHMF6BmuD9PfSKtNJWt6etO@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@=="
$StorageContext2 = New-AzureStorageContext -StorageAccountName sqlvaqrc7kssdx4eus -StorageAccountKey $Keys2
$containerName2 = "democontainer2";
Set-AzStorageBlobContent -File "D:\Bijay\Upload3.txt" `
  -Container $containerName2 `
  -Blob "Upload3.txt" `
  -Context $StorageContext2 

The complete error message was as below

Login-AzureRMAccount : Method ‘get_SerializationSettings’ in type
‘Microsoft.Azure.Management.Internal.Resources.ResourceManagementClient’ from
assembly ‘Microsoft.Azure.Commands.ResourceManager.Common, Version=4.0.0.0,
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35’ does not have an
implementation.

oadException

Note: The reason we are getting this error is that we have Az and AzureRM modules installed, and the AzureRM module is loaded when we are trying to use the Az module.

method ‘get_serializationsettings’ in type ‘microsoft.azure.management.internal.resources

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

Run your PowerShell ISE or Windows PowerShell as an administrator mode

Hoping by now, you have the AzureRM module is installed in your machine. If not, you can install the AzureRM module by following my article The term ‘Login-AzureRmAccount’ is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet

Well, the next step to fix this issue is, run the below Enable-AzureRmAlias cmdlet on your PowerShell ISE

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Enable-AzureRmAlias -Scope CurrentUser

Now if you will run the below PowerShell script, it will run successfully.

Login-AzureRmAccount
$Keys2 = "Coro2SvGOTD+nT3YdaKCrnauzWvHMF6BmuD9PfSKtNJWt6etO@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@=="
$StorageContext2 = New-AzureStorageContext -StorageAccountName sqlvaqrc7kssdx4eus -StorageAccountKey $Keys2
$containerName2 = "democontainer2";
Set-AzStorageBlobContent -File "D:\Bijay\Upload3.txt" `
  -Container $containerName2 `
  -Blob "Upload3.txt" `
  -Context $StorageContext2 

Now it will ask to enter the credentials and click on the Sign in button.

Then it executed successfully with out any issue.
