Hi,
Is there any way I can provide a command or script which can run automatically after VM is provisioned. Similar to runonce?
There is a powershell command Add-AzureProvisioningConfig, but it does not expose any switch to supply a script.
Please suggest.

Hi,
I am trying to provision a VM using Powershell and am experiencing problems. My script is as follows...
$image = "a699494373c04fc0bc8f2bb1389d6106__Windows-Server-2012-R2-201504.01-en.us-127GB.vhd"
$machineName = "XYZ-Test"
$un = "VMAdmin"
$pwd = "P4ssw0rd#"
$vmStorageAccount = "https://XYZstorage.blob.core.windows.net/vhds"
$resourceGroupName = "XYZ-Resource-Group"
$vm1 = New-AzureVMConfig -Name $machineName -InstanceSize Small -ImageName $image
$vm1 | Set-AzureSubnet "QASubnet"
$vm1 | Add-AzureProvisioningConfig -Windows -AdminUserName $un -Password $pwd
$vm1 | Add-AzureEndpoint -Name "WinRM" -Protocol "tcp" -PublicPort 5985 -LocalPort 5985
$vm1 | New-AzureVM -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName -ServiceName "XYZ-Test" -Location "West Europe" -VNetName 'Group XYZ-Resource-Group XYZ-Network'
The problem is when I run this command in powershell I get the following error...
New-AzureVM : A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 'ResourceGroupName'.
I have checked the documentation at https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dn495159.aspx and it clearly says that -ResourceGroupName is a paramter.
Please help - this is driving me insane as I cannot see what I'm doing wrong!
Thanks.
Hi!
I have a Suse 12 VM and all default zypper repositories are with HTTP 500. Does anybody knows who (and where) should I alert? I'm replacing with new repositories in my VM, but I think someone should fix that.

I have a VM with some settings done. It is in West US region. I did Sysprep & created an image. I want to create a VM from that image in East US, but when I tried, it allowed me to create it only in West US.
Is there any way around that?
I have a VM with Windows 2008 with IIS & SQL Server 2008 (image from Gallery). I also created a Storage and attached to it as F: drive. I also installed an SSL certificate on it.
My VM is newshipuservm.cloudapp.net and I can connect to it thru RDP.
I have created a CNAME in my DNS Server that secureintranet.attronica.com points to newshipuservm.cloudapp.net. I have created a secure website (https) forsecureintranet.attronica.com.
When I put in the browser, I get "This webpage is not available" and "ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT".
I have checked Firewall and both ports 80 & 443 are open.
Any idea what is wrong here?
Sometimes when invoking more than one instance of /usr/bin/sudo in parallel (on Ubuntu Unity running on a Standard_A1 instance), the execution takes ~5000msec more than normal even for the most trivial of programs. This does not happen explicitly serializing invocations, or performing the exact same thing on non-Azure virtual machines (I already tried Virtual Box on an AMD A10-5800K and a few Google Compute Engine instances).
I have a proof-of-concept code here: https://gist.github.com/lhchavez/7552d955150a54000906

At the same time the above tested website has been working withhttp. I has also added the HTTPS(443) Endpoint in Azure Portal Endpoint settings.
I am also removed the http(80) and added onlyhttps(443) port but it returns same error.
Please give me the solution for this problem. Thank You.
Hi,
I followed all steps given here (https://github.com/Azure/azure-content/blob/master/articles/machine-learning-data-science-setup-virtual-machine.md) to set up a VM to run IPython Notebook.
When I open a browser and type the url https://<virtual machine DNS name>:<public port number>, the browser tries to connect for around 10 seconds but fails with a connection time out error. I am receiving the same problem with Chrome, Mozilla and IE. I have verified that the public port number does not clash with public ports that have already been assigned for internet services (http://www.chebucto.ns.ca/~rakerman/port-table.html).
I tried restarting the VM and assigning a different public port to the IPython endpoint but nothing seems to be working.
Please help!

Occurs on every role when number of roles is scaled in management portal, seems to force all roles to restart, and RoleEnviroment.Changing do not get fired (in webroles and in worker roles with internal endpoint).
Seems to restart all webroles in different fault domains at once and cause the service to go down!!
Occurs with a new template created Azure Cloud service.
This is with SDK 2.5.

To log on to a virtual machine running Windows Operating system in Windows Azure,we usually use a Remote Desktop Connection to achieve that. However, we may encounter issues during the Remote Desktop Connection and there are multiple reasons for RDP issues in Azure.
Next, we will introduce the common troubleshooting steps without recreating the Azure Virtual Machine for RDP issues in Azure. According to the error messages, we divide the article into two main parts:
1. Remote Desktop cannot connect to the remote Azure Virtual Machine
Sometimes, after you use the Connect button in the Management Portal to start a Remote Desktop Connection, the error message would be prompted as below:
Figure 1. Error message for Remote Desktop Connection
If you encounter the error message above, you can start troubleshooting from the three parts below:
1) Check the basic information for the Virtual Machine that you want to log on:
1. Check the quick glance in the Dashboard of the Virtual Machine and ensure that the Virtual Machine is running and other parameters are all displayed. If not, please restart the Virtual Machine to see if the issue persists. The figure below is the screen capture of quick glance for an Azure Virtual Machine in our test.
Figure 2. Quick glance of an Azure Virtual Machine
Check the endpoint for Remote Desktop to ensure that it is existing or not. If not, you can recreate a new endpoint for Remote Desktop.The figure below is the screen capture of the endpoints for the Virtual Machine lab01.
Figure 3. Endpoints of an Azure Virtual Machine
2. Check the Azure Status page to make sure that no known issues happened in the region that the Virtual Machine belongs to:http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/status/
3. Besides, resizing the Azure Virtual Machine may fix the issue if there is a problem specific to the host where the Azure Virtual Machine is currently running. SinceD: drive will be lost and the internal IP address of the Azure Virtual Machine will also be changed if the Azure Virtual Machine ends up on a different host after resizing, please make sure that no important data on the D: drive and no influence would be caused by changing the internal IP address.
2) Check the Remote Desktop configuration on the local side
You need to make sure that Remote Desktop service is not blocked on your local side.
You can enable Telnet Client on your local computer and run “telnet xxx.cloudapp.net public_port_for_Remote_Desktop” at the command prompt to see if it is able to connect to the VM using the public port of the endpoint for Remote Desktop.If you receive any error message when running the Telnet command, it means a failure.
In our test, since TCP port 59585 is the public port for Remote Desktop, we ran “telnet lab0.cloudapp.net 59585” at the command prompt in our local computer and it was able to connect. You can refer to the figures below:
Figure 4. Telnet the public port for Remote Desktop on local side
Figure 5. Result of Telnet
You can also connect from different network to see if it is possible to connect. If connecting from a different network succeeds, maybe the Remote Desktop connection is blocked by your local side. Then you can open the related ports to make the Remote Desktop Connection succeed. If the Remote Desktop connection is blocked by the corporate firewall, you need to contact the corporate network administrator for help.
3) Check changes on the Azure Virtual Machine
You need to check that if you had done any changes related to Remote connections on the Azure Virtual Machine.
If you choose the option “Don’t allow remote connections to this computer” in the Remote Desktop settings or disable Remote Desktop in Windows Firewall on the Azure Virtual Machine, you can use the cmdlets below to enable RDP and the necessary Windows firewall rule for the Azure Virtual Machine if you have install VM agent on the Azure Virtual Machine:Get-AzureVM -ServiceName “xxx” -Name “xxx”| Set-AzureVMAccessExtension | Update-AzureVM
In addition, you can also use Remote PowerShell endpoint to execute PowerShell commands remotely on Azure VM from our local machine to change the related configurations:

Hello,
Let me start by saying I'm not a network expert, but have setup a network in Azure with a VPN connection to our corporate network so I have a little bit of knowledge. We started our Azure adventure with a PaaS PoC and the network was created with two basic subnets, a front and a back. We now want to further our understanding of Azure by implementing a IaaS PoC and while we were designing our solution came across this information: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dn630228.aspx
"If you have both VMs and PaaS instances in your virtual network, you may want to separate the VMs that have static DIPs from your PaaS instances by creating a separate subnet for the VMs and deploying them to that subnet. It’s not only helpful for you to be able to see your static VMs in a separate subnet and know immediately which have a static DIP, but for this release, it also prevents a new PaaS instance from acquiring the static DIP from a VM that is in the process of being stop/deprovisioned (not just restarted). This is a current limitation in this release for mixed VM/PaaS subnets and static DIPs."
So my question is would anyone be willing to give some design advice based on their azure experience in creating a network subnet design that incorporates the stated technical limitation regarding VM and Paas instances in a virtual network? What does your design look like? Are there patterns for the network design we should be looking at?
Thank you,
JES
In our project, we want to capture the Azure VM (diagimage), we add the "Microsoft Monitoring Agent Diagnostics" Extension, then we capture Image we want to include the configuration for the Image.
then we create a AzureVM (vmfromiamge) using the Image which we captured, but the VM does not including the Diagnostics Configuration Info.
So Is there any way to store the Diagnositics Information when Capture the Azure VM Image?
Thanks so much.
I have created a azure VM and have a application running on it. I want to access my application with IP add of that machine. Right now that application I have deployed listens to a port.
I was trying to list all the services from my Azure subscription using powershell to update our CMDB database
Is there a uniqueid for each azure resource so that I can update CMDB based on that ID
For Eg:
Get-AzureVm will list all the VMs in my subscription
I tried looping the list by passing Name and Service name for the VM so I will get the details of the VM
Get-AzureVm -Name ****** -ServiceName **
But nowhere I could see a unique ID to identify the VM
I created a new Windows VM(A3 configuration) but I am unable to RDP into it. I have tried from diferent PC(at home and work), different ISP/networks. TCPPing to my VM shows RDP port not open. When I try to connect I get the message
Remote Desktop cant connect to the remote computer for one of these reasons:
1) Remote access to the server is not enabled
2) The remote computer is turned off
3) The remote computer is not available on the network.
My endpoints are all properly configured with public port 3389, VM status is running and everything looks good on the management portal.
I am converting uploaded video to *.mp4 with help of third-party .exe.
the exe is working fine on local but not working on azure.
how i allow to run that exe on azure
please help.
