Has anyone tried and been successful converting a pre-existing Standard Tier VM to Basic tier VM? I've tried on a half dozen of ours that are applicable this morning and none have worked. I keep getting a server error from the Azure console.
The console UI seems to suggest it should be possible, going as far as stating that you can't do it if you have autoscaling or accessibility sets enabled on a VM. It lets me switch the type to Basic. When I save the setting, it tells me it may need to restart the server, then spins about 60 seconds before coming back with an error.
I'm curious if anyone has gotten it to work, or if anyone from the Azure team happens to be reading the forum and can confirm it *should* work.
