I signed up for a free trial. Looked to create a virtual machine clicked XenApp Trial 7.8 and did all the forms. Selected 2 cores. The lowest setting. What for?
Validation Failed
Quota Exceeded: Max allowed 4 cores. Currently in use zero. Needed TWELVE cores.
Whats the point? Not impressed. Complete waste of time.
Hi,
It seems that when I capture a VM to an image, the image size is the same as the VM's OS disk size. Is there a way to optimize it? E.g. the VM's OS disk is 128 GB, but only 75 GB is actually used. Is there a way to get an image from this VM with size 75 GB instead of 128 GB?
Regards,

Hi,
I tried to launch VM from custom image using ARM template. My custom image was located on a Classic Storage.
The launch of the VM failed because it doesn't recognize the classical storage:

}
}
Now how do I create new ARM storage account and copy the image from Classical Storage to the new ARM storage? In the old portal, we can copy custom image from VM Depot and the new preview portal doesn't have the option.
And regarding launching VM from custom image, does the storage of the image has to be within the same Resource Group? Or it can be of different Resource Group within same region(service manager supports same region)? I hope it's not limiting to within same Resource Group since it's impossible to create a new resource group storage with that custom image in. Actually better solution would be that we can upload custom image somewhere to Azure so that it behaves like bundled image(like AWS community image), so we don't need to have physical custom image reside in the storage in order to launch a VM.
Thanks and hope to hear from you soon.

Hi,
I am looking for some kind of documentation for MDSD protocols and it's source code.
Is anything freely available online?
Why am I doing this:
I am currently engaged by a customer to build an environment on top of azure which heavily relies on the autoscaling feature. The linux distribution of choice in this case is NixOS which is not officially supported by Microsoft Azure. (No, switching the
distro is not an acceptable alternative ;) )
It turns out someone already put in some work to get the WAAgent working on NixOS ( https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/nixos/modules/virtualisation/azure-agent.nix ). Apparently the WAAgent alone is not enough to use the autoscaling feature based on CPU usage. I traced the issue to the MDSD (mandatory diagnostics service daemon?) binary which will not run without special preparation on NixOS (and some other distributions).
My goals are
I would appreciate any help (especially code and/or documentation) regarding the MDSD.
Thanks!
How is accessing a new Windows VM secure? You connect to it through the internet and receive a response with a self-signed certificate, asking for your password. Is this still secure in some way that I do not realize?
With Ubuntu you can set up a system, providing an SSH public key instead of password. My understanding is if you've kept that public key private then you can assume you are talking to the right machine when your private key logs you in.
I considered uploading a vhd after installing a system and exporting its certificate before uploading it as an image but I became convinced that wouldn't work. I tried downloading a vhd of a VM that was created online, hoping I could export it the key, but the image wasn't readable. Right now I'm working on trying to remote desktop from the Ubuntu server I can trust, but I'm currently having trouble setting up vnc and rdp to remote into the Ubuntu Server. There has got to be a better way.
Every time i reboot the VM, the vm's ip address changes. We would not want to reconfigure our dns zone everytime VM is rebooted. So the solution is to assign a reserved IP to our VM's. I can create a reserved IP but i cannot assign the reserved ip to our existing VM. I have tried some commands using the powershell but i cannot get it to work. Below is the command to associate the reserved ip to a service.
Set-AzureReservedIPAssociation -ReservedIPName <myreservedip> -ServiceName <service>
When i ran this command, it is telling me that there are no default deployment. I am guessing that the i am missing with the Service Name. Any thoughts on how to resolve this issue?
Hello.
I have some VM's in North Europe. This week I can't connect to some internet resource(https://www.roseltorg.ru/, http://utp.sberbank-ast.ru/) from them.
I try:
1. Restart VM.
2. Flush and renew DNS
3. Use Google DNS.
4. Restart TCP stack
What i need do to fix this problem?

I am building a multi-subnet SQL Server 2012 cluster using SQL Server VM's (Iaas). I am restrained in my build to the classic (ASM) portal, I really wanted to utilize the SIOS DataKeeper Enterprise Cluster service which is available in the ARM marketplace, however it does not appear in the ASM marketplace, nor in the available compute-virtual machines-image gallery. I spoke with the vendor and they were unaware of the limitation. Is there any particular reason you are cutting ASM off to many of the services?

I want to active directory for window,MAC and Linux client. I all PC will be join in domain.
Hi there.
I recently signed up for a (to my mind) powerful Azure VM. The specific VM image type is :
Windows Server 2012 R2 operating system with the Remote Desktop Session Host (RD Session Host) role installed along with Microsoft Office 365 ProPlus which has Shared Computer Activation enabled.
The specs are 2 core, 14gb of RAM - should be enough (!) to run Office. I connect to the VM via Remote Desktop Client. Initially I used the default settings on remote desktop client but I have also tried experimenting with "lesser" settings, see screenshots [1]
But unfortunately, the VM is more or less unusable. The user experience for me is roughly as follows:
My instinct is that this is much more to do with network connectivity than the raw performance of the machine itself. To start with, my own network connections (wired ethernet to an ADSL router) is not superlative, but at the same time, it's not terrible. I just ran a simple ping to google.com, and I have an average ping of 8ms. Not bad!
Now on to pinging my azure VM. Because Azure VMs (at time of writing) do not respond to ping, I'm using psping.
Here's me pinging google.com:80
PS C:\Users\John> C:\Installs\SysInternals\psping -q -n 1000 -h 10 -i 0 google.com:80

The stats are MUCH worse - three or four times worse? Worse than that even? I will do more data collection soon, need to head out now.
Also, I tried pinging azure.com:80 vs google.com:80 - azure.com is TEN TIMES slower.
PS C:\Users\John> psping -n 10 -q google.com:80So, overall it seems to me that the azure service is going to be net-net very slow and painful UNLESS microsoft really focuses on improving its network connectivity.
Or, is there something I should be doing my end?
THanks!

Hi All
I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this question.
I'm trying to create a VM in ARM using Vagrant. I followed the steps here - https://github.com/Azure/vagrant-azure
The above link uses a default Ubuntu image and I want to use an windows one. For some reason it doesn't want to pick up the windows image.
This is the info in the vagrant file
azure.vm_name = 'vagrant-test' # max 15 characters. contains letters, number and hyphens. can start with letters and can end with letters and numbers
azure.tenant_id = 'my tenant'
azure.client_id = 'my client'
azure.client_secret = 'my'
azure.subscription_id = 'sub'
vm_name = 'TestVM01'
vm_size ='Standard_A1'
