Set-AzContext works in Azure Cloud Shell but doesn't in Azure PowerShell

Question

When i execute following command

Clear-AzureProfile
Connect-AzAccount -TenantID xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Set-AzContext -SubscriptionId xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
         


        

Answer 1

If you are cycling through subscriptions in the same tenant and don't want to have to sign in with Connect-AzAccount multiple times, the following worked for me to switch between subscriptions:

Remove-AzContext -InputObject (Get-AzContext) -Force | Out-Null;
$sub = Set-AzContext -Subscription $_.SubscriptionName;

Before adding the Remove-AzContext statement I was seeing that Set-AzContext was not actually switching the context to another subscription for some reason.
