Hi,
I created a VM using the Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 August 2012 from the gallery, then customized it. I followed https://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/manage/windows/how-to-guides/capture-an-image/ and capture an image as MyImage of the VM. The results are:
1. The original VM is destroyed as expected
2. There is no MyImage in the portal
3. There is a new blob in the storage, that should be capture vm, and it IS attached to MyImage image
4. There is MyImage in `azure vm image list`, but attempt to create a VM based on it fails:
azure vm create -r 3389 <name>@cloudapp.net MyImage <USER> <PASS> -l "West US"info: Executing command vm create
+ Looking up image
+ Looking up cloud service
+ Creating cloud service
error: The hosted service name is invalid.
info: Error information has been recorded to azure_error
error: vm create command failed
4. Creating a new VM based on the original image works, the machine is reported as running, but
I am not able to connect to it using remote desktop and the custom service seem to not be running.
5. Re-creating the original VM (with azure vm create-from previously exported VM settings) gives again VM that is working according to the portal, but I am not able to connect via remote desktop or the custom survice running on it.
So my question is how to recover the original VM and the capture clone?
