[BUG]: AzurePowerShell@5 is failing to install Az modules about azure-pipelines-tasks

[RickKra]

@v-schhabra it only happened 4 times for us. I created the bug in case it happened more.

Any way you can look into why it happened and either add retries or something to prevent future occurrences?

[v-schhabra]

@RickKra Could you please install Az and Az.Accounts module externally and check if task works fine or not?

[RickKra]

@v-schhabra it's a complex pipeline building a production app, so I can't change it quickly and easily. Can you not fix the task?

[v-schhabra]

@RickKra I observed that now the task is working fine for you without any issues.
Could you please update if the issue is fixed or not?

Hi @dimpatel-MSFT
Thanks for sharing the logs. We are investigating your issue and will share the updates soon.

The above error may be caused by the PowerShell NuGet package provider not being installed in 1ES agents.

As a workaround we suggested @dimpatel-MSFT to install the Nuget packages through Azure Powershell or Powershell task and this works fine for her.
For the permanent fix we are working with 1ES Hosted agent team and will post the latest updates here.

Closing this out as issue is mitigated. Please raise the new request incase you face any new issues.
