Description

This is for AzureStack specific admin modules
Some of the generated cmdlets throw "Argument passed in is not serializable" error when incorrect parameter value is passed. In the below examples, "TargetSubscriptionId" parameter value is correct for the first one but not for the second one.
```
PS C:\Windows\system32> Get-AzsUserSubscription -TargetSubscriptionId "966bbf24-21ce-43bd-8735-e1a4c0eed411"

Research direction

Start with the Get-AzsUserSubscription cmdlet and reproduce the two TargetSubscriptionId invocations shown in the issue. Read the referenced autorest.powershell issue for additional context; done should mean that an incorrect parameter value produces a useful, serializable error instead of the reported exception.
