Thank you, great job! I was able to import it to a runbook workflow in my Azure Automation Account and it worked great.

Taking to much time to copy the entities, my test result is 100 entities per 30 seconds.
How can I improve copying rate?

Beautiful! Saved lots of time. Note: for more recent version of Azure Powershell youll need to replace the Windows Table with Microsoft.Azure.Cosmos.Table
