$sourceVM = get-vm -name LinuxBox

$myDatastore = Get-Datastore -Name datastore1
##$vmhost = Get-VMHost
##-ResourcePool $vmhost

Above is the code I am trying to use, below I have the error I am getting. I am connected to the ESX server already and all variables contain values. Any insight would be appreciated. ESXi version 6.0. 12.5.0. VMware.PowerCLI

Apparently, this was a bug, and the Azure team will be deploying the fix to production. Here is the link https://github.com/Azure/azure-powershell/issues/19927 which gives the timeline.

AzureAD thinks a user exists when they don't

This is using the latest Powershell and Azure modules. The user was deleted. My question is why can't I recreate them?

Ah....so AAD doesn't fully delete users.
By running
Get-MsolUser –ReturnDeletedUsers -All | Remove-MsolUser –RemoveFromRecycleBin –Force
I was able to clear them all out and "re-use" the UPN

Is that possible to use "Invoke-SqlCmd" as a part of Visual Studio Online build step?

We try to get our DB updated as part of the Visual Studio Online build as dedicated build step, but the PowerShell script that we locally using fails to work on the hosted build controller with following error.
2015-07-28T20:35:26.8546681Z ##[error]import-module : The specified module 'sqlps' was not loaded because no valid module file was found in any module
2015-07-28T20:35:26.8546681Z ##[error]directory.
Is there any way to use "Invoke-SqlCmd" in VSO hosted build controller?
Got it working with those lines!
Add-PSSnapin SqlServerCmdletSnapin100 -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
Add-PSSnapin SqlServerProviderSnapin100 -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
Here how I do it:
$moduleName = "SqlServer"
if (Get-Module $moduleName -ListAvailable) {
Write-Host "Module '$moduleName' is available"
} else {
Write-Host "Module '$moduleName' does not exist"
try {
Install-Module -Name $moduleName -Force -AllowClobber
Write-Host "Module '$moduleName' successfully installed"
} catch {
Throw "Installation of module '$moduleName' failed: $($_.Exception)"
}
}
