Add Microsoft Azure for Powershell

Click on Install

Once installed open Powershell (NB – you don’t have to import any azure module. It is already installed)

Type  Get-AzurePublishSettingsFile

Enter email address used for Azure registration

Save the Subscription file

After you’ve saved the file to your system run the following command to import it. Once the file imports you will have connectivity from PowerShell to your Azure subscription.

PS C:> Import- AzurePublishSettingsFile c:\location\filename.publishsettings

Now you can run all of your Azure tasks via PowerShell instead of the console.
