Hi Mike,
I am following your DevOps training course from CloudSkills. This script is not working on cloud shell to create Azure Service Principal. Getting below error message.

New-Object:
Line |
10 | $cred= New-Object Microsoft.Azure.Commands.ActiveDirectory.PSADPass …
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
| Cannot find type [Microsoft.Azure.Commands.ActiveDirectory.PSADPasswordCredential]: verify that the assembly containing this type is loaded.
New-AzADServicePrincipal:
Line |
11 | … New-AzAdServicePrincipal -DisplayName $Name -PasswordCredential $cred
| ~~~~~
| Cannot bind argument to parameter 'PasswordCredential' because it is null.

Kindly let me know if there is workaround for this?

Thanks,
Kivi
