unable to run AZ module cmdlets

Question

I am try to get the detail of correlation ID. I installed the AZ module and tried the run the get-azlog cmdlet. However, I am getting the following error even if I tried it on different PC. It looks to be a problem from the AZ module and similar error also happens on other AZ cmdlets.

Hi @HK G ,

In general, the error "this.Client.SubscriptionId cannot be null" shows up if we don't set an Azure subscription. In this case, I would recommend to use Get-AzSubscription cmdlet to list all the available subscriptions and then set the subscription by using Select-AzSubscription <subscription ID> cmdlet. For more information w.r.t Az.Accounts PS module cmdlets, refer this document.
