TimeCreated property not returning unique value Get-AzureRmDisk
The TimeCreated
property in Get-AzureRmDisk
is not guaranteed to return unique values for different disks. This is because the TimeCreated
property represents the time when the disk was created, and multiple disks can be created at the same time, especially if they are part of automated processes or scripts.
If you need a unique identifier for each disk, you can use the ResourceId
property, which provides a unique identifier for each disk in Azure. The ResourceId
property is a globally unique identifier (GUID) that uniquely identifies each Azure resource, including disks.
Here's how you can retrieve the ResourceId
and other properties for each disk using Get-AzureRmDisk
:
powershell# Import the AzureRM module (if not already imported)
Import-Module AzureRM
# Log in to your Azure account
Login-AzureRmAccount
# Get all disks in the specified resource group (replace 'YourResourceGroup' with the actual resource group name)
$disks = Get-AzureRmDisk -ResourceGroupName YourResourceGroup
# Iterate through each disk and display its properties
foreach ($disk in $disks) {
$DiskName = $disk.Name
$ResourceId = $disk.ResourceId
$TimeCreated = $disk.TimeCreated
$DiskSizeGB = $disk.DiskSizeGB
# Add other properties as needed
# Display the properties
Write-Host "Disk Name: $DiskName"
Write-Host "Resource ID: $ResourceId"
Write-Host "Time Created: $TimeCreated"
Write-Host "Disk Size (GB): $DiskSizeGB"
# Add other properties as needed
# Add a separator between disks
Write-Host "--------------------------------------------------"
}
By using the ResourceId
property, you can uniquely identify each disk in Azure, regardless of whether they were created at the same time. The ResourceId
will be unique for each disk in your Azure subscription.
