Also tried in following flavor but still blank result any idea?

Answer 1

You should call Select-AzureSubscription "subscription name" first.

It likely is defaulting to a subscription that doesn't have any virtual machines in it.

To view your current subscription names call:

Get-AzureSubscription | select SubscriptionName

Answer 2

Actually the answer above is only semi-correct.

This had me pulling my virutal hair out trying to do automation (which took 7 hours of manual fudging to get working!).

Simply, you have two types of virtual machine in Azure; Classic, and Resource Manager.

If you Switch-AzureMode -name AzureServiceManagement then use Get-AzureVM you will list all of the classic VM's you have created.

If you Switch-AzureMode -name AzureResourceManager then use Get-AzureVM you will list all of the Resource Manager (or new) VM's you have created.

And remember, if you are trying to do automation, then you need the VM's in the new mode available through the portal, your old VM's (classic) that you created through management are not visable in this mode and you will have to recreate them.
