Guest OS metrics is not available

Since around yesterday, I have been unable to get the guest OS metrics on *all* virtual machines in my subscription.

My dashboard, which is setup to monitor performance metrics, shows this:

 

On the metrics blade, all guest OS metrics are unavailable. The [Host] metrics function as usual.

Not sure if this is related, but about one week ago, I got all these "IaasDiagnostics" items in my resource group. Previously they have never been there:

Since I did nothing, I suspect there was an update on the "metrics" function and it broke. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Hi All

I've been using an Azure VM with Windows 10 installed as a backup development environment and recently connected Cortana on there to my Live account.

After this I was unable to connect using my normal credentials, but was (thinks to someone suggesting on another forum) able to connect using my live account credentials.

Unfortunately, though I can now connect to the machine via RDP the Azure portal management functions are unable to work, such as trying to reboot, redeploy, add disk, with the following message:

Could anyone please suggest anything I could try. Thanks in advance for any help offered

Password change option while Creating VM from custom VHD

I have a sample custom VHD with OS and other software loaded in it along with a couple of users setup as a workgroup.
When I create a new VM in Azure with this custom VHD upload, I require the user to change the password since he would not know the actual passwords within the VHD. I would give a drop down to select from a list of users and change the password so that when the VM is created, the user can directly use this newly created password to login to the VM and start using the application from the vhd.
It would be great if the newly created password is applicable for all users.
Thanks,

North Europe not available for Virutal Machine Deployment in MSDN Subscription

Hi,

I am trying to use my azure benefits from msdn to play with a VM deployment using ARM templates. The problem that I am facing is that I can create storage, availability sets, load balancers, NICs and IPs in north europe but as soon as I try to create a machine it says sku not available.

If I choose west europe the deployment works but I cannot access the public IP address of the server because of the proxy at my mork.

So is there any way to get the north europe region available in a msdn subcription?
When trying to create a vm manually from the portal the region is not even available in the dropdown.

Regards
Carsten

We have one Virtual Machine (Linux) deployed in Azure portal using Resource Group model.  When we logged in to this virtual machine using SSH client we observed that there were so many failed login attempts made previously.  So, is there a way to configure Alerts for such failed/successful attempts which sends an email or SMS to the concerned team.

VM Agent and VM Extensions – Feedback, Issues, Questions

Do you know if you are creating Windows Virtual Machines in Azure through Powershell or Portal, by default we now enable installation of VM Agent. VM Agent is a light weight process for managing VMs through VM Extensions which are simply software components that extend the functionality of a VM and make common management scenarios easier. If your Windows VM was created before Feb 20, 2014 (when VM agent was enabled by default from Portal)you can install VM Agent for Windows on VMs by downloading it from here.

VM migrated using Azure Site Recovery missing OSprofile and Azure VM agent

We migrated VM's form Hyper-V VMM using Azure Site Recovery.

The VM's are running fine and I have installed the Azure VM agent MSI. I tried enabling the VM agent using

$vm = Get-AzureRmVM -ResourceGroupName $rg -Name $name $vm.OSProfile.windowsConfiguration.provisionVMAgent = $True Update-AzureRmVM -ResourceGroupName $rg -VM $vm

But I get an error message saying " 'provisionVMAgent' cannot be found on this object. Verify that the property exists and can be set."

When I try to get the OSProfile using

$vm.OSprofile i just get a blank result. It seems this has never been set during migration. How do I set this value and how do I get the Azure VM agent installed and registered?

I tried changing the TCP/IPv4 to static instead of dynamic, but when I exit the configurations it goes back to DHCP and the changes don't take effect. Can this be created at the vm level? Thanks!

4.0.20161012                  2012-R2-Datacenter WindowsServer MicrosoftWindowsServer 

4.0.20161109                  2012-R2-Datacenter WindowsServer MicrosoftWindowsServer 

What are the actual differences between versions? Is it Security updates or also feature updates ?  This is important because  using always getLatest in the ARM migth Produce a different machine in Production than a machine in Pre-Production , or even break some application setting.

Specify a Program to Start Automatically When a User Logs On With Remote Desktop Services Session Does Not Work in Windows 2016 Server.

By default, Remote Desktop Services sessions provide access to the full Windows desktop, unless a program has been specified to start when the user logs on to the remote session.

If an initial starting program has been specified, it will be the only program that the user can use in the Remote Desktop Services session. The Start menu and the Windows Desktop are not displayed when the user logs on to the remote session, and when the user exits the program the session is automatically logged off.

In Windows 2016 Server this feature does not work. However it works perfectly in 2008 and 2012 Server.

The ComputerName is empty (-)

Hi all,

We are moving our resources from Azure Service Mangement mode to ARM mode.

To do that, i just copied the VHDs to a new V2 storage account.

I than used Powershell + JSON to create a new virtual machine using the VHD (Attach option in JSON)

All the operations were successful, the VMs boot and i'm able to communiate with them.

The only matter is that the ComputerName is empty (-)

I tried to restart, recreate the VM, but it's the same issue.

How to troubleshoot that ? Is there any need for the Azure Agent ?

Note:

- If i deploy a VM from the gallery, it's good, the computer name is shown

VM extensions fail to install when no internet connection available from VM

December 11, 2016, 2:18 pm

Hi,

I am provisioning VMs via ARM templates. I have a number of VMs in subnets which have no internet connectivity. I am attempting to use the DSC extension to install/promote a VM to domain controller. However the extension manifest (I.e. the extension itself, not the custom artifacts of mine that the extension should use) is failing to download (as there is no connectivity to the internet).

What is the recommended approach in installing extensions on VMs that will not have connectivity? Should I provide access for this part of the installation process, and then lock down after the extensions have been installed? If so, what is the best approach for doing this?

Error from C:\WindowsAzure\Logs\WaAppAgent.txt on the VM:

"[WARN]  Error in downloading version manifest for Microsoft.Powershell.DSC from: https://ardfeextml1prdstr01.blob.core.windows.net/3055d769a0ed485d8c5ea8a7cd24073e/Microsoft.Powershell_DSC_australiasoutheast_manifest.xml with exception: Manifest download error from https://ardfeextml1prdstr01.blob.core.windows.net/3055d769a0ed485d8c5ea8a7cd24073e/Microsoft.Powershell_DSC_australiasoutheast_manifest.xml.

I am looking to find out what restrictions are placed on Network bandwidth on various VM sizes.

Is there a table available detailing this instead of medium,high,extremely high? Is the restriction applied to both inbound and Outbound?

Any help much appreciated.
