Requirements

• Azure PowerShell module installed on the Commander server.
• A Commander account credential with at least read permissions on the Azure account.
• Advanced property embotics.workflow.script.credentials set to true in Commander.
• Execution Policy on the Commander server may need to be set to Unrestricted.

Steps to configure and run the report

1. On the Commander server, install the Azure PowerShell module (if not already installed):

   Install-Module -Name AZ -AllowClobber -Force

   If you encounter a security error, run:

   [Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12

2. Download the workflow file Azure_Waste_Reclamation_Report.json.
3. In Commander Admin UI, go to Configuration > System > Advanced.
   • Set the property embotics.workflow.script.credentials to true.
4. Under Configuration > Command Workflows, click Import in the workflow list grid and upload the Azure_Waste_Reclamation_Report.json file.
5. After importing, edit Step #3 in the workflow and specify the recipient email address that will receive the report link.
6. To run the report:
   • In Views, select the Azure cloud account.
   • Right-click the account and choose Run Workflow.
   • From the list, select Azure Waste Reclamation Report.
7. After completion, the designated recipient receives an email link to the HTML-based report. If re-run, the report updates the existing version. Print the report if needed for future reference.

Troubleshooting

• If the report runs but is empty or the workflow fails:
  • Confirm the Azure PowerShell module is installed.
  • Ensure the correct report path.
  • Download the Commander diagnostic package from Help > Support and review the latest entries in commander.log.

Outcome

Running this workflow provides a comprehensive HTML report listing unutilized Azure resources, helping reduce waste and optimize resource allocation.
