I am using azure data factory to run an ETL. 

Before I copy the data across across to the staging tables I want to truncate them. 

I entered the below code in the sink section in the copy data wizard but I get an incorrect syntax message every time I try run it.

Also, How would I write the code for multiple tables needing truncating ? 

"sink": {
                        "type": "SqlDWSink",
        "writeBatchSize": 0,
                        "writeBatchTimeout": "00:00:00",
"sqlWriterCleanupScript": "truncate table stage.PostGL",
                    }

I am using a classic windows server 2012 virtual machine. I've set up batch script (backup some data) in the shutdown policy in Local Computer Policy. This VM is controlled remotely by azure cli command from my local MacBook Pro. However the batch script was never executed when I run "azure vm shutdown xxx".

Anyone know what I'm missing? Thanks.

Hi - With 2019 now available for Azure VMs, I went ahead and spun up a few 2019 Datacenter with Containers instances. All instances will not activate. I have confirmed KMS connectivity via docs. Anyone have any suggestions?

Best,

Chad

How can i solve this problem?

It is not possible to create an endpoint with the same public and private port in a virtual machine. It has always been possible to do. The portal shows the next message 

"Private port should be different from public port when floating IP is enabled." but floating ip is disabled.

Hi,

I have created a linux VM with the initial admin login using SSH via Azure portal. And I can connect it using ssh [admin]@[IP address]

Now I would like to create another users and let them login using the same way, e.g. [user1]@[IP address].

I tried to create users in linux and create those key pairs. but when I connect it, it all returns "refuse key". 

But it works if i modify the new user to use the initial key during creation of the VM. (vi /home/mynewuser/.ssh/authorized_keys (put the initial public key))

Anyone has any idea about it?

Hi,

we are trying to stop a Linux VM to restore the osdisk from backup.

But it wont since more than 45 Minutes at least.

AZ CLI, Portal, Powershell - nothing does deallocated the VM.

How to force a stop?

I have a user who is trying to RDP onto our Azure VM. I can login fine, however under his login he gets.

"The task you are trying to do cant be completed because Remote Desktop Services is currently busy. Please try again in a few minutes. Other users should still be able to log on"

Obviously a reboot fixed the problem short term, however need a fix to stop this occuring again.

Many Thanks Clem

Hi All,

Using this below script we could get VM name along with its status. However we only want a kind of two liner report in csv/html/txt file with VM running and Deallocated count.

Like : -   VM running = 16

             VM deallocated = 2

We tried some count and measure cmdlets here but no luck. 

param(

    [string]$tenantId="",

    [string]$file="Azure-ARM-VMs.csv"

)

if ($tenantId -eq "") {

    login-azurermaccount

    $subs = Get-AzureRmSubscription

} else {

    login-az urermaccount -tenantid $tenantId

    $subs = Get-AzureRmSubscription -TenantId $tenantId

}

$vmobjs = @()

foreach ($sub in $subs)

{

    Write-Host Processing subscription $sub.SubscriptionName

    try

    {

        Select-AzureRmSubscription -SubscriptionId $sub.SubscriptionId -ErrorAction Continue

        $vms = Get-AzureRmVm

        foreach ($vm in $vms)

        {

            $vmInfo = [pscustomobject]@{

                'Subscription'=$sub.SubscriptionName

                'Mode'='ARM'

                'Name'=$vm.Name

                'ResourceGroupName' = $vm.ResourceGroupName

                'Location' = $vm.Location

                'VMSize' = $vm.HardwareProfile.VMSize

                'Status' = $null

                'AvailabilitySet' = $vm.AvailabilitySetReference.Id }

            $vmStatus = $vm | Get-AzureRmVM -Status

            $vmInfo.Status = $vmStatus.Statuses[1].DisplayStatus

            $vmobjs += $vmInfo

        } 

    }

    catch

    {

        Write-Host $error[0]

    }

}

$vmobjs | Export-Csv "c:\temp\VMList.CSV"

#Write-Host "VM list written to $file"

I'm evaluating Azure Vmss with publicIPPrefix for outbound connections. 

At upscale new publicIPAddress is allocated and at downscale this publicIPAddress is deallocated. Everything works as expected until here. 

As we can guess if all the publicIpAddess are allocated, and we try a new upscale operation, the creation of the new instance fails.

But the unexpected behavior is that after that try we can't also downscale or remove an instance, “The resource operation completed with terminal provisioning state 'Failed'”.

This behavior can be more easily reproduce if over provisioning is enabled for the scale set.

Hello there,

do you know any possibility to attach or assign a usb security Dongle to a specific Azure VM?

Does Micorsoft provide an service which can mount usb devices to Azure VMs?

Thanks in advanced.

I'm running a D4s v3 Azure virtual machine and was using nested virtualization to run a Hyper-V Linux VM inside my Azure VM. I couldn't get a DHCP Address leased to my Linux VM, so I unticked the "Allow management operating system to share this network adapter" in the Hyper-V Virtual Switch settings.

Now I can't RDP into my Azure VM.

How can I reset this? I do not want to have to redo my entire installation/setup.

Thank you.

Hi,

I need machines which have support for Intel's Transactional Synchronization Extensions (TSX). Sometimes I get a VM with this support and sometimes I don't. Is it possible to specify this requirement when I create a VM?

Every template on internet that i saw is creating VM from vhd but is creating it as managed disk. I need to create VM from vhd and be vhd not managed disk. I have one template where I can create VM as vhd from vhd but I can´t specify subnet because it will create new subnet not attach to existing and I don´t know how to edit template to work. Always failing. Is somewhere some template for vhd as vhd?

PS: Custom image is not solution for me. I need to reconfigure 10 machines to vhd.
