I'd like to start VM automatically using automation user and runbook but dose not work...

  1. create automation user
  2. import "Start Azure V2 VMs" from gallery and create runbook
  3. publish runbook and link to schedule and input "RESOURCEGROUPNAME" and "VMNAME"

What is missing in this procedure?

Thanks,

Ok, have you created the user in the "Credentials" section in the Automation Account ?
On the left side, under Shared Resources, click on Credentials

Then, create a user...
Name: You decide the name
User Name: It has to be a valid user in your tenant AD
Password: The password of the user account.

When created, you can call this user in your Automation Account script

    You have created the automation account as well as the run as account ?

    Then you have imported a ps script from the gallery and then you want to run this script with the automation account?

    Any error message?
