I am getting following error on azure automation when I trying to connect VM.
Also follow this link https://stackoverflow.com/questions/29899964/azure-powershell-automation-no-default-subscritpion-has-been-designated
1/4/2016 3:33:14 PM, Error: Add-AzureAccount : unknown_user_type: Unknown User Type
At New-AzureVMEndpoint:16 char:161/4/2016 3:33:14 PM, Error: Get-AzureVM : No default subscription has been designated. Use Select-AzureSubscription -Default to
set the default subscription.
At New-AzureVMEndpoint:20 char:20

done
My Code :
workflow New-AzureVM
{
[String] $AzureCredentialAssetName = 'AzureCredential'
[String] $AzureSubscriptionIdAssetName = 'dxxxxxx-xxxxxxx'
# Returns strings with status messages
[OutputType([String])]
# Connect to Azure and select the subscription to work against
$Cred = Get-AutomationPSCredential -Name $AzureCredentialAssetName
$SubId = Get-AutomationVariable -Name $AzureSubscriptionIdAssetName
$AzureAccount = Add-AzureAccount -Credential $Cred
Get-AzureAccount
Get-AzureVM
echo "done"
}
If I Select-AzureSubscription -Default 'SubscriptionName' it throws an error saying the syntax is invalid.
Also I try to use azure in-build templates for connect the VM but on every script getting this error : Add-AzureAccount : unknown_user_type: Unknown User

Make sure the credential asset name (not username) is a simple string. Also make sure the credential asset username is a valid OrgID user (ex: abc@fdgdf.onmicrosoft.com), not a Microsoft / Live account (joe@gmail.com).
