As an Azure Stack Hub user, you can use PowerShell to manage Azure Stack Hub resources such as create virtual machines, deploy Azure Resource Manager templates, etc. This topic is scoped to use with the user environments only. In order to interact with Azure Stack Hub PowerShell, you will need to set up your environment. To do so follow the below guide:
Prerequisites from a Windows-based external client.

$ArmEndpoint | The Azure Resource Manager endpoint for Azure Stack Hub | |
$AzsUsername | Your AAD username | |
$AzsPassword | Your AAD password |
# Set Execution Policy
Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned
# PowerShell commands for Azure Stack Hub are installed through the PSGallery repository
# To register the PSGallery repository, open an elevated PowerShell session and run the following command:
Set-PSRepository -Name "PSGallery" -InstallationPolicy Trusted
# Install the latest version of PowerShellGet
Install-Module -Name PowerShellGet -Force
Close and reopen your elevated PowerShell session to load the newly installed version of the PowerShellGet module.
# Uninstall existing versions of Azure/Azure Stack Hub PowerShell
Get-Module -Name Azs.*, Azure*, Az.* -ListAvailable | Uninstall-Module -Force -Verbose
# On some older systems, you may need to explicitly set the TLS 1.2 security protocol to be able to interact with PowerShell Gallery
[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12
# Install the Az.BootStrapper module
Install-Module -Name Az.BootStrapper -Force
# Install and import the API Version Profile required by Azure Stack Hub into the current PowerShell session
Install-AzProfile -Profile 2020-09-01-hybrid -Force
Install-Module -Name AzureStack -RequiredVersion 2.2.0
# Confirm the installation
Get-Module -Name "Az*" -ListAvailable
Get-Module -Name "Azs*" -ListAvailable
# Set Execution Policy
Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned
# Declare endpoint
$ArmEndpoint = "https://management.frn00006.azure.ukcloud.com"
# Register an Az environment that targets your Azure Stack Hub instance
Add-AzEnvironment -Name "AzureStackUser" -ArmEndpoint $ArmEndpoint
# Sign in to your environment
Connect-AzAccount -EnvironmentName "AzureStackUser"
Warning
This method will not work if multi-factor authentication is required for your AAD account. You must use the other method that does not have the -Credential parameter on the Connect-AzAccount cmdlet.
# Set Execution Policy
Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned
# Declare endpoint
$ArmEndpoint = "https://management.frn00006.azure.ukcloud.com"
# Register an Az environment that targets your Azure Stack Hub instance
Add-AzEnvironment -Name "AzureStackUser" -ArmEndpoint $ArmEndpoint
# Create your Credentials
$AzsUsername = "user@contoso.onmicrosoft.com"
$AzsPassword = 'Password123!'
$AzsUserPassword = ConvertTo-SecureString -String $AzsPassword -AsPlainText -Force
$AzsCred = New-Object -TypeName System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -ArgumentList $AzsUsername, $AzsUserPassword
# Sign in to your environment
Connect-AzAccount -Credential $AzsCred -EnvironmentName "AzureStackUser"
Now that we've got everything set-up, let's use PowerShell to create resources within Azure Stack Hub. For example, you can create a resource group for an application and add a virtual machine. Use the following command to create a resource group named "MyResourceGroup":
# Get location of Azure Stack Hub
$Location = (Get-AzLocation).Location
New-AzResourceGroup -Name "MyResourceGroup" -Location $Location
