From within an Azure runbook I want to run get-azautomationjob to find out information about jobs. I ran a get-command from within the runbook, and it says I have that cmdlet available. But when I run it, there is no data returned(variable is null), but there's also no error. There's no evidence at all that it even tried to run. Any ideas?

    Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum.

    Ensure that you are providing the required parameters, particularly -AutomationAccountName and -ResourceGroupName.

    If you are filtering by job status, confirm that there are indeed jobs with that status. You can try omitting the status parameter to retrieve all jobs.

    Add debugging information to your runbook to see what is happening during execution. Use Write-Output or Write-Verbose to log messages that can help identify where the issue lies.
