First step after AzurePowerShell installation is authentication with your Azure Account via Add-AzureAccount PowerShell command. We use 10.0.0.6 as your internal VNET IP for assignment to VM called vmName in the example below. Pleas note: it is improtant to add your VM when you auto-provision to a specific VNET set up before you start provisioning your Virtual Machine.

Please find steps below required for successful VNET IP swap.

Step 1. Add-AzureAccount

Step 2. Import-Module azure

Step 3. Get-Azuresubscription

Step 4. Select-Azuresubscription "Pay-As-You-Go"

Step 5. Get-AzureVM -ServiceName "serviceName" -Name "vmName" | Remove-AzureStaticVNetIP | Update-AzureVM

Step 6. Get-AzureVM -ServiceName "serviceName" -Name "vmName" | Set-AzureStaticVNetIP -IPAddress 10.0.0.6 | Update-AzureVM
