Hi All
I use the below syntax to connect to Azure Powershell, but today i am unable to connect to azure powershell. it prompts me to enter tenant and subscription number. I have 1500 subscriptions, how can i know the subscription number for my subscription id. please guide me.
Connect-AzAccount -Credential (get-credential -UserName user1@contoso.com)
Select a tenant and subscription: 12121212-1212-1212-1212-1212121212
Connect-AzAccount : Typed subscription is not a number.

Hello @Glenn Maxwell,
Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Q&A.
Based on your description, it seems that whenever you try to run Connect-AzAccount, you are prompted with "Select a tenant and subscription (type a number or Enter to accept default):". You mentioned entering the Subscription ID as "12121212-1212-1212-1212-1212121212". However, you need to enter the corresponding number of the subscription from the output list. Please refer to the screenshot below to see how to find the value number for your subscription.
I hope this information is helpful. Please feel free to reach out if you have any further questions.

Hello,
First connect without specifying a subscription then list all subscriptions:
Connect-AzAccount
Get-AzSubscription | Select-Object SubscriptionName, SubscriptionId
Once you've identified the correct subscription ID or name from the list, you can switch to that subscription using the Set-AzContext command
Set-AzContext -SubscriptionId "12121212-1212-1212-1212-1212121212"
if you know part of the subscription you can also use the following:
Get-AzSubscription | Where-Object { $_.SubscriptionName -like "*YourSubscriptionName*" } | Select-Object SubscriptionName, SubscriptionId
I hope i help,
Vasilis
