HDInsight Cluster Creation Functions Get Stuck

Question

Hello, 
I am trying to provision an HDInsight Cluster from PowerShell and from HDInsight .NET SDK.
I am following this tutorials: http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/hdinsight-provision-clusters/#powershell
My problem is that in both cases the method/function that creates the cluster gets stuck. It doesn't create the cluster on Azure.
In the case of PowerShell the function is:
# Create a new HDInsight cluster
$config = New-AzureHDInsightClusterConfig -ClusterSizeInNodes $clusterNodes |
    Set-AzureHDInsightDefaultStorage -StorageAccountName $storageAccountName_Default -StorageAccountKey $storageAccountKey_Default -StorageContainerName $containerName_Default |
        New-AzureHDInsightCluster -Name $clusterName -Location $location -VirtualNetworkId $vnetID -SubnetName $subNetName
In the case of HDInsight .NET SDK is:
ClusterDetails cluster = client.CreateCluster(clusterInfo);
Does somebody know what am I doing wrong? Could it be something in the configuration of my storage/blob accounts? 
Thank you in advance.

Hi Carlos,
The issue could be the fact that HDInsight SDK is not synchronization context aware and we have seen this in WebApp and Forms that have this. The following workarounds helps.
override the SynchronizationContext
var sc = new SynchronizationContext();
SynchronizationContext.SetSynchronizationContext(sc);
Invoke SDK commands here
Start an Async task
Task.Run(async () =>
             Invoke SDK commands here
Can you try the above and let us know if that helps?
