Hello,
there is available SQL 2012 Web edition only on Windows Server 2008 VM template.
Can I
1) upgrade VM OS from 2008 to 2012 R2 sp1 later?
2) can I upload own image (VHD) with current WS and SQL version and still pay for minute or I need wait for template?
Hi,
I'm trying to create new VM in our virtual Network but GUI gives us error:
"Unable to allocate the required address spaces for the deployment in a new or predefined subnet that is contained within the specified virtual network. The long running operation tracking ID was: 328a6db2a961851291d9c471a5ed8dd7."
Tried to delete Virtual Network but cannot do that because GUI says that Network would be in use. I cannot find from GUI anything which would use Network.
Any thoughts?
My Silverlight app is hosted in a VM created from a Server 2008 R2 template. I installed the roles for Application Server, Web Server, and SMTP. The application works and but doesn't send email. It uses .NET mail and a SMTP relay provided by another host. The app sends mail fine from my development machine. Research tells me that Azure VMs don't support SMTP so many people use SendGrid. I tried it with the same result. It works locally but not in Azure. The firewall is turned off. What am I missing?

Hi
Here is my command line
azure vm create "gfsgsfgfgsf" -o "vmdepot-21908-1-32" --location "West Europe" "AzureUser" "2;rVbUa%hu]+Ul;Qc18-9C" --ssh --vm-size "extrasmall" --blob-url "https://aotrainingtest.blob.core.windows.net/monitorvm/gfsgsfgfgsf"
It is plainly impossible to make it works as shown in the output
C:\Users\NICO>azure vm create "gfsgsfgfgsf" -o "vmdepot-21908-1-32" --location"West Europe" "AzureUser" "2;rVbUa%hu]+Ul;Qc18-9C" --ssh --vm-size "extrasmal l" --blob-url "https://aotrainingtest.blob.core.windows.net/monitorvm/gfsgsfgf gsf" info: Executing command vm create+ Looking up community image+ Looking up cloud service+ Creating cloud service warn: --location option will be ignored warn: --md5-skip, --parallel and/or --base-vhd options will be ignored warn: Any existing blob will be overwritten at https://aotrainingtest.blob.core.windows.net/monitorvm/gfsgsfgfgsf |warn: Incorrect blob destination: https://aotrainingtest.blob.core.windows.net/monitorvm/gfsgsfgfgsf warn: Using instead : http://aotrainingtest.blob.core.windows.net/monitorvm/gfsgsfgfgsf+ Copying image+ Looking up image vmdepot-21908-1-32-61928350+ Creating VM info: Deleting image info: VM image deleted: vmdepot-21908-1-32-61928350 info: Blob deleted: http://aotrainingtest.blob.core.windows.net/monitorvm/gfsgsfgfgsf+ Deleting cloud service error: A lease conflict occurred with the blob https://aotrainingtest.blob.core.windows.net/monitorvm/gfsgsfgfgsf. error: vm create command failed
By looking at the node source code, it seems that azure cli is downloading the blob image externally on blob-url, create the OS image from it, and then try to create a vm on this image by specifying the SourceImageName of the OS disk.
However, the bug seems to be that it also specify, the MediaLink to the same blob-url. When the deployment is running, it crashes because the blob is already leased by the image created earlier.
By the way, for now I'm using IaaS Management Studio instead of the CLI to create my vm, it works fine, but I stumbled on this problem when I was trying to add a feature to my tool to make it generates the azure cli command line.
Things works fine if I don't specify the blob-url, but if I do that, I can't choose where the OS disk is saved
Hi,
I'm new to this Windows Azure experience, having been an Amazon EC2 user for a few months prior, and I'm not sure how I can download my Windows Azure VHDs (that are created at 127 GB by default) without being forced to download all 127 GB.
Is there an easy way to shrink the VHD sizes to something more easily downloaded? Even 30 GB is a lot for a download, but 127 GB is not really acceptable for a download size when you have 10 GB or less of data on the drive.
Hi,
I have three ubuntu vms on Azure with completely different software configurations, when I boot them up, they run for about 5 mins before becoming completely unusable due to 100% iowait. Any ideas?

Is there any documentation and samples available that can explain how I can push MS SQL data (dataset) to a Windows Azure application?
Thanks for the help

Hello all,
I recently created an Azure VM from the gallery using the SQL 2014 CTP and Server 2012 R2. Now I would like to connect to it from my local SSMS but can't figure it out. I assume I need to create a MSSQL endpoint on the VM which I did, and I need to set up a SQL Authenticated password, also done.
Now in local SSMS, What is the server name? Is it not <machine name>.<dns name>?
I can't even ping the dns name. Should I not be able to?
Thanks

Do you know if you are creating Virtual Machines in Azure, 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. This sticky thread is a place where you can provide feedback, issues or any general questions you have on this topic.
Hi all,
The scenario which I have is I need to setup a way to stream data to HDInsight hosted on WindowsAzure specifically using Flume.
I have a third party tool which collects website metrics. I want to send these metrics to a flume service on HDInsight. I then want to use Hive to regularly import this data into Hadoop. The third party tool only has the capability to stream to a flume service.
Has anyone had any experience with this kind of setup? I can install Flume on HDInsight, that's not a problem. The biggest problem I have right now is being able to send the data to the flume installation. Specifically I need to know the URI to point to for the Flume Service on HDInsight and I need to be able to setup the port for this.
Can anyone give me any help with this?
Many thanks,
I understand the reasons that Azure IAAS servers must be restarted, but the process by which it happens (for me at least) is really rough. Yesterday, All my servers restarted twice in one night, without warning of a planned maintenance window. From what I can gather this was due to host upgrades in the East US region. However, not only did it take each server much longer than normal to boot, the essential services (iis on web services, sql on SQL services, etc ) did not restart with out manual intervention. I have fail overs and HA, but it is of no use when i have to babysit all the servers so that they actually come back up before another server restarts. This does not happen when i restart the servers myself so why when MS does it?
In addition, our application is quite complex and has many layers and hence many availability groups - approximately one for each functional layer of our application. This means that the short outage that occurs while a failover occurs within an availability group, happens frequently during a host upgrade and so the application is unanavailable for a much longer period of time than expected during the short but frequent recoveries.
my questions is two parts
1. Has anyone else experienced services not restarting after an azure host upgrade and hopefully found a solution?
2. I was under the impression that availability groups should match for each functional set of services. i.e. one for the web front end, one for reporting, one for transactional DBs, one for load balancing, one for reporting, etc.. Is this incorrect?
I have created a Windows Server 2008R2 Virtual Machine, installed IIS in it, and hosted a root site , and configured it to access it through custom domain . i.e www.mysitetech.com
Now i want to host another website on the same server with another domain name, i.e www.mysiteweb.com
I am planning to host 3 to 4 website on that same server.
How can i configure iis for the same.
And can any one suggest some free control panel like softwares which i can use to manage the websites hosted on the Azure VM iis from internet without need to connect to virtual machine remotely.
Please help, its critical.

I suddenly lost access to all my VM's. They show running in the portal but not serving the IIS and cannot be RD into.
Is there a general problem with the service? If not - what are my options as I need the IIS service running again ASAP
When installing java_ee_sdk-7-jdk7-windows.exe I get the following,"Error: Could not find the required version of the Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment in '(null)."
I have tried setting the Java Path in the environment variables. As well as running the install as administrator.
Is there a way increase the OS disk size (127gb) of an existing/new Virtual Machine from PowerShell or some supported Azure tools? I've seen the 2 links below, but was wondering if there was another way of doing it.

Hello all,
Is there any easy way to identify disks (vhd) names in windows azure?
I have
1 - OS image (sysprep)
1 - Virtual Machine (used already prepared OS disk)
1 - Data disk (attached to Virtual machine)
Under Azure Portal -> Virtual Machines -> Disks, how can i know which one is my prepared image, which one is my running VM and which one is my attached disks? I created few virtual machines and images before so there are more disks than I should have.
Now I am not sure which one is to be deleted.
And another thing about disk space license: do I still charged if I keep those disks inside my storage account without using?
Thanks in advanced,
Lin
The RDP connection to my vm has started misbehaving.
Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.
When it doesn't I get the message
"Remote Desktop can't connect to the remote computer for one of these reasons:
1) Remote access to the server in not enabled.
2) The remote computer is turned off.
3) The remote computer is not available on the network."
If I wait awhile and then retry, it connects.
Sometimes it can take me half an hour and several attempts before I am able to connect
It usually connects in the end.
Any ideas?
