Check If Azure Resource Group Exist - Azure Powershell

Question

I'm trying to verify if ResourceGroup exist or not so i thought that following code should return true or false, but it doesn't output anything.

$RSGtest = Find-AzureRmResource | Format-List ResourceGroupName | get-unique $RSGtest -Match "$myResourceGroupName" 

Why am I not getting any output?

Answer 1

Update:

You should use the Get-AzResourceGroup cmdlet from the new cross-plattform AZ PowerShell Module now. :

Get-AzResourceGroup -Name $myResourceGroupName -ErrorVariable notPresent -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue  if ($notPresent) {     # ResourceGroup doesn't exist } else {     # ResourceGroup exist }

Original Answer:

There is a Get-AzureRmResourceGroup cmdlet:

Get-AzureRmResourceGroup -Name $myResourceGroupName -ErrorVariable notPresent -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue  if ($notPresent) {     # ResourceGroup doesn't exist } else {     # ResourceGroup exist } 

Answer 2

try this

$ResourceGroupName = Read-Host "Resource group name" Find-AzureRmResourceGroup | where {$_.name -EQ $ResourceGroupName}
