In this blog post, you’ll learn how to use an Azure PowerShell script to automatically register all the necessary Azure Compute resource providers in a new subscription.
As many of you know, resource providers are essential building blocks in Azure. Without registering the appropriate providers, you might encounter errors or unexpected behavior when deploying or managing resources, especially in a freshly created subscription.
For instance, if you’re working with Azure virtual machines, containers, images, or disks and the required Compute resource providers aren’t registered, your deployments may fail.
Manually registering each provider can be time-consuming and prone to mistakes. That’s why, in this blog post, I’ll show you how to automate the process using an Azure PowerShell script that ensures all necessary Azure Compute resource providers are registered up front. This not only saves time but also helps avoid common deployment pitfalls.
An Azure Administrator account with the required RBAC roles to run the script.
At least version 10.4.1 of the Azure Az PowerShell module is required.
Executing actions and utilizing the Azure PowerShell script
To automate the registration of the required Azure Compute resource providers in a specified new subscription, I’ve created the following Azure PowerShell script. It performs the following actions:
Remove the breaking change warning messages.
Change the current context to the specified subscription.
Register the required Azure resource providers for Containers in the current subscription, if they are not already registered.
Register the required Azure resource providers for Core Networking in the current subscription, if they are not already registered.
Register the required Azure resource providers for Azure Update Manager in the current subscription, if they are not already registered.
Register the required Azure resource providers for Defender for Cloud in the current subscription, if they are not already registered.
Register the required Azure resource providers for Azure Automation in the current subscription, if they are not already registered
Register the required Azure resource providers for Azure Monitor in the current subscription, if they are not already registered.
Register the required Azure resource providers for Azure Policy in the current subscription, if they are not already registered
Register the required Azure resource providers for Azure Key Vault in the current subscription, if they are not already registered
To use the script, start by either copying and saving it as “Register-Azure-Compute-resource-providers-in-a-specified-subscription.ps1” or downloading it directly from GitHub. Then, run the script using Windows Terminal, Visual Studio Code, or Windows PowerShell. Alternatively, you can execute it directly from Cloud Shell.
Azure PowerShell script
If you are not using Cloud Shell to run the script, remember to sign in with the Connect-AzAccount cmdlet to link your Azure account. If you have multiple Azure tenants, ensure you select the correct one before running the script by using the Set-AzContext -TenantId cmdlet.
You can then run the script with the required parameters.
.\Register-Azure-Compute-resource-providers-in-a-specified-subscription -SubscriptionName <"your Azure subscription name here">
💡 While most resource providers register within a few seconds to a couple of minutes, some may occasionally take up to 10 minutes to complete the registration process.

Quickly list registered resource providers in a subscription
Of course, you can verify all successful resource provider registrations through the Azure Portal, but this process can be time-consuming if there are many providers to check.
That’s why it’s more efficient to use the following Azure PowerShell one-liner to quickly list all registered resource providers in a subscription:
I hope the Azure PowerShell script shared in this blog post helps simplify the registration of all required Azure Compute resource providers in any of your new or existing subscriptions.
