Hi,

Create a brand new virtual machine including sql server 2014 standard edition.

When connecting to the machine with remote desktop and opening a SSIS solution i get the error "Invalid license data. Reinstall is required."

Seems a bit odd when using a brand new VM.

RD display problem when the underlying computer uses Iris graphics

$

Question from Allan Hirt @SQLHA via Twitter:

Seeing an issue in Azure as well as with Hyper-V on machines with Iris graphics. It's not a driver issue because it's not only the latest, but it does not happen with any other program including VMware Workstation. Have seen it both with native Windows Server 2012 R2 running H-V and I'm seeing this under Win 8.1 connected to Azure. It's a RD problem when the underlying computer uses Iris graphics.

Any help?

Outbound SSH connections from VM

$

I'm having issues with outbound SSH connections on Ubuntu 14.04. Essentially I'm tunneling out of Azure to another cloud server (hosted on Digital Ocean). Initially I've connected ok and the tunnel has worked as expected but after a few times closing and reopening the tunnel attempts to tunnel out just hang.

Here is the SSH session:

azureuser@az-server:~$ ssh -vv -i ~/.ssh/key.pem user@do-server.com

OpenSSH_6.6.1, OpenSSL 1.0.1f 6 Jan 2014

debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config

debug1: /etc/ssh/ssh_config line 19: Applying options for *

debug2: ssh_connect: needpriv 0

debug1: Connecting to do-server.com [redacted_ip_address] port 22.

..eventually timesout

Nothing appears in the do-server's auth.log but the server is responsive to SSH connections from other computers and I'm able to reach other services on the do-server from the Azure VM:

azureuser@az-server:~$ nc -vz do-server.com 80
Connection to do-server.com 80 port [tcp/*] succeeded!

If I do not attempt to connect for a few minutes connections will start working again. Restarting the Azure VM has no effect though. It is as if the virtual network layer is refusing to route my SSH connections. I've looked through the Azure VM management UI for something related to outgoing connections but I don't see anything. I don't have any virtual or local networks configured in Azure, I'm just using the VM as a stand-alone machine.

Does anyone know if there could be some sort of filtering that I could be triggering? I'm just doing standard sort of debugging, restarting the SSH session 10 or 15 times an hour. I'd be surprised if this was being picked up as an attack of some sort.




Server 2012 R2 cluster configuration issues.

I am trying to configure a SQL server always on availability group in Azure.   I am following these instructions http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn425027.aspx.  Specifically on step 9 you are supposed to use powershell to assign some "ClusterParameters" to the cluster resource created earlier.  However I can't seem to get this step to work.  

According to the documentation for the set-clusterparameter cmdlet, there should be three ways to use it, but none of them are working for me.

Sending file(s) via FTP

$
0

I have a need to send files via FTP from my Azure Virtual Machine.  I am doing this via a PowerShell script and when I run the script locally, it works fine.  When run the script from my Azure Virtual Machine, it doesn't work.  My guess is that Azure is blocking my attempt to FTP files out from the VM, but I am not sure how to configure to allow it.

I've tried turning off the firewall entirely on the VM and it still doesn't work so I don't think it is a VM problem.  I think it is a configuration problem with the Azure host itself that my VM is sitting on.

How can I configure this so my VM can FTP files out to a remote machine.

Virtual machine not working and nothing I can do.

I have a linux Virtual Machine on West US.

It was working with no problem. This VM only host a MySQL Database for some very low traffic webapps (websites).

Today, one customer calls in asking me why the website wasn't working. I tryied to SSH or directly connect to the DB with no success. No event logs or anything interesting on any of both portals. No email nor alert was received.

Tried to create a support ticket but it will cost me $39 / month, just for asking why the VM that is supposed to work doesn't and I don't think that's fair.

The suscription got plenty of $ left, that's not a problem. I restarted the VM, same issue. I can't even ssh into it.

I scaled up, just in case, because it was configured as a A0 Shared Core 768mb instance.

So, what are my options ? What can I do. I read the azure notifications and there is a VM maintenance planning but it's for Saturday 11, it's Friday 03 today.

Any guidance will be really appreciated. My biggest concern is that various websites went down, no alert whatsoever (from azure pov everything is operating normal) I cannot ssh, restart doesn't work and I see no log/event registered/recorded. Is this normal with azure? What can I do to a) fix this issue asap, b) be sure it doesn't happen again (at least be notified somehow to avoid having a customer call in)

Thanks, really appreciate any help. Don't know what to do.

Can I add additional IP address to VM?

Hello,

I need to add additional non routable IP address on my machine.

I understand I can create VP with multiple network cards but this is available only during VM creation which is not an option for me. Another possibility is to add private IP on the same subnet as a main one? Is it possible to do?

Ping and network connectivity to happening oneway

Hi,
I have created 3 VMs:
1. ADDS(Win 2012 R2, ADDS and DNS configured)
2. DB (Win 2012R2 + SQL 2012 SP2)
3. AOS (win 2012 R2)

Now all of them are configured with DNS which is on mspawcadds. Problem is, when pinging server 2 from server 1 or 3, or trying to open a SQL DB of server 2 through ssms its throwing error. But the other way around i.e. ping from server 3 or 1 to server 2 is working great.

I have checked the DNS entry for DB server which has no issues and similar to the other servers. Similar to & fro ping problem is not happening between the other two servers.

Unless I do this i cannot install Dynamics AX in server 3 which will connect the DB in server 2.

Please help me resolving this.

Regards,

Suvro

creating virtual machine from Visual Studio and deploy

$

Hi,

I have two question related to deployment of my Web API application to windows azure. Application implementation is almost done and now I need to host that on azure. Following are the question :

1. From visual studio, I use publish and try to create the virtual machine in process. I click on more options and click "Microsoft Azure Virtual Machine" option.

Problem is the list of images the next dialog shows doesn't have any image with Windows OS with Visual Studio Community edition. I cannot use MSDN images as I don't have subscription. So my question is how I can use get other private/custom images in the list?

2. As I was not able to get required image of Virtual Machine from Visual Studio, I thought of creating required image (i.e. windows server 2012 with Visual Studio Community edition) through Azure Management portal and then from Visual Studio while I publish I select my already created virtual machine and deploy my app. But problem is I don't get to see any virtual machine in the list to select from. 

 

So problem is I cannot get to use my desired configuration of virtual machine no matter what I do? Can anyone suggest me the way out of this problem?

VM's and Virtual Network for Ethical Hacking Lab

$

I would like to create a Virtual Network in Azure which is to host 5 VM's. These 5 VM's will have different OS's installed on them to allow me to complete the Pluralsight CEH Ethical Hacking course.

I have a few questions on this:

1. Can I use Azure for this purpose? Creating a virtual lab for ethical hacking practice?

2. How does one create a Virtual Network and add 5 VM's to that network (which have no access to the Internet).

There are a couple pre-reqs for the network itself:

1. Each VM must be able to ping and communicate with all others on the network.

2. The network must be isolated and have no internet access.



Low trust provider hosted app on Azure Virtual Machine

Hello All,

I am creating a low trust provider hosted app on visual studio 2013. I am using O365 developer site for testing my app. For testing i created azure website and deployed my remote web on the website. Everything is working fine. However now i want to deploy it on Azure hosted Virtual Machine. However i am not sure whether it's possible. 

I performed the following options

1. I configure my VM with IIS server and webdeploy

2. Created a publishing profile for deployment

However when i try and deploy it fails without providing any error. So I want to determine whether it's possible or not. Wce can definitely do it using certificates but that would be then high trust app.

Any suggestions on this would be highly appreciated.

Regards,

Amit
