Azure offer both internal and external load balancing capabilities.
It offers load balaning between virtual machines under the same load balance set.
Check here
http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/virtual-machines-load-balance/
You can create multiple Virtual machines hosting your IIS websites than use the service load balanced IP.
For the Virtual machines performances, you can benefit from the auto-scale Azure capabilities. Autoscale will automatically turn on virtual machines when some performance thresholds are crosses (Memory, CPU usage) and turn them off when it's calm again.
Look here
http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/cloud-services-how-to-scale/
Only Standard virtual machines offer these capabilities, Basic VMs do not

How many concurrent users are allowed for an Azure Virtual Machine?
Please share the details with the Azure VM size. Currently I have Standard VM of size D13(4 cores, 28GB RAM)

Hi SanPSK,
Thanks for posting here.
I suggest you to check this article for Azure VM size
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dn197896.aspx
For the concurrent users on VM - A maximum of 2 concurrent connections are supported, unless the server is configured as a Remote Desktop Services session host.

Need free development account to host sample application to host in Windows Azure platform.

Hi all,
I just started exploring the application on Windows Azure platform. Locally my sample application is working perfectly.
Now I am thinking to host it on Microsoft Windows Azure platform. I started googling and found that it required the valid account which also requires some cost as well. But my application is not a real world apps. It is just a "HelloWorld" application and
I want to know how the things works in Azure platform.
After tons of experiment I could not find any free account to host a application.
If Microsoft won't provide such a development account how would I start my application in Azure platform.
If I am wrong can anyone suggest me to create a development account on Azure platform.
Quick response is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Sanjay

Bug found in Deploy a domain controller and member using Windows Azure Virtual Machines. With fix

I have been working with the script found at
http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/Deploy-a-domain-controller-2ab7d658 as a base for my azure deployments. I ran into a situation where if a VNetwork already had a DNS entry it wouldn't allow you to add another DNS entry. It would give
an error similar to
Property 'DnsServersRef' cannot be found on this object. Make sure that it exists.
This happened at line 447 of the original script.
Line 447 looks like:
$dnsServersRefElement = $foundVirtualNetworkSite.DnsServersRef
I fixed the error by adding .node after $foundVirtualNetworkSite. Like this:
$dnsServersRefElement = $foundVirtualNetworkSite.Node.DnsServersRef
I hope that this gets fixed in the original script or that my post helps someone in the future.

Please post comments and fixes to Gallery scripts by posting in the Gallery Q&A section for the referenced script. THe owner of the script will be monitoring that but not this forum. Also other using the script will be alerted to your discovery.

Deploy Windows Azure Virtual Machine UnauthorizedAccessException

Hi,
I intended to move my stored vm from the VMM Library to Azure, however I received the following error. Which account is VMM using to access my library?
Error:

    Error: The server failed to open file
\\Library\StoredVms\VM1\VM1.vhd: Access to the path is denied.
    StatusCode: System.UnauthorizedAccessException
Thanks for any advice

Hi John,
The Copy/Move job runs under the CloudManagerAzureProviderService. In my case this runs under a system account. I checked the share permissions -> added everyone Full Control and added Everyone RX to the security of the library folder.
I also made the service account local administrator but that did not help at first.
This solved my problem :-)
Hope it will fix yours as well

SQL Azure with Azure Virtual Machine inside Virtual Network - How to connect

Hi Team,
I have one typical scenario where there is one Windows Application I wan to run from my Windows Azure Virtual Machine which is inside Azure Virtual Network (which has its DNS and ADFS and etc..)
Because its Virtual Network, We can't access internet within that network, apparently Virtual Machine can't access SQL Azure. So, How would we resolve this scenario.
Application is running great from my local system so, its accessing SQL Azure Database from my system. So, Application or SQL Azure or connection or such areas has no issue.
Regards, Brijesh Shah

Hi Brij,
Thanks for your reply.
To add a DNS server in an Azure Virtual network, you can refer to the link below:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dn275925.aspx
To obtain a public Azure-provided DNS server IP addresss, you can run "ipconfig/all" in another Azure VM which is not a virtual network which has DNS server defined. After you add a DNS server in the virtual network that VM belongs to, please restart
the VM to update the change.
However, since you mentioned that you are using a customed domain, I am not quite sure if any other configuration should be done for your domain.

Redirection error An error occurred while processing your request in provider-hosted app which is hosted in Windows Azure

Hello,
I developed one simple provider hosted app and I published it in my Azure website. I also published the SharePoint App of this solution in O365 site. I'm using Visual Studio 2013 Premium edition. I've followed all the steps to do this work e.g.
generate the client ID and client secret through my O365 site and updated the AppManifest.xml as well as web.config etc. In my AppWeb project, I've TokenHelper.cs and SharePoint.cs classes.
When I'm clicking the app from my O365 site, I get the following error "An error occurred while processing your request" which is due to the following code:
protected void Page_PreInit(object sender, EventArgs e)
            Uri redirectUrl;
            switch (SharePointContextProvider.CheckRedirectionStatus(Context, out redirectUrl))
                case RedirectionStatus.Ok:
                    return;
                case RedirectionStatus.ShouldRedirect:
                    Response.Redirect(redirectUrl.AbsoluteUri, endResponse: true);
                    break;
                case RedirectionStatus.CanNotRedirect:
                    Response.Write("An error occurred while processing your request.");
                    Response.End();
                    break;
It's always executing the case RedirectionStatus.CanNotRedirect. Why?
I've checked the method "CheckRedirectionStatus" of SharePointContext.cs class completely and I am not understanding why am I getting this error.
When I browse my Azure website http://sitename.azurewebsites.net, even there I'm getting this error. I believe that error is because there is no query string parameter there e.g. SPHostURL etc.
Please let me know why I'm having this redirection error.
Thanks,
Ashish

Hi,
For a better troubleshooting,
I suggest you do as the following:
Debug the code step by step to find the reason of the issue.
For the remote debug your app from Windows Azure, you need to download Azure SDK:
http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/downloads/
After installing the SDK, it will have “Attach Debugger” for Azure web site, you
also need to set "Attach Debugger" to on in the Windows Azure Management Portal

Did you configure the Point-to-Site virtual network using this article?

After the virtual network is created, you may create the gateway as the link mentioned.

How to Install an APO Livecache on Windows Using Virtual Host Names

Hi,
How to Install Live Cache on windows using Virtual Host names?
we are using SCM 4.0 with live cache build 7.4.3 on two differnt servers.
I have checked the Live cache CD (7.4.3) is with setup.cmd, where as it need use command sapinst.exe SAPINST_USE_HOSTNAME=Virtual hostname.
Please advise.
Thanks
Anil

a possible workaround (that I have no tested) is to temporarily name your server with the same of the virtual name, install. when completed, rename server to original name.
This is not a proven method, but it might work.

How to configure a proxy server for Windows Azure Tools in Visual Studio 2013

Hi Visual Studio/Azure Tools team
I would like to use the Windows Azure tools in Visual Studio 2013 to manage my Azure Web sites (Server Explorer -> Windows Azure -> Web Sites) from within my corporate network which is secured using a proxy server. Unfortunately, I am not able to use
the Windows Azure tools since the required HTTPS connection to windows azure is not going through the default configured proxy. Instead, Visual Studio tries directly to connect to port 443 which is blocked by our corporate firewall (and yes: there is no way
around using our proxy server). Other visual studio features like NuGet, updates, etc. work fine and use the configured proxy server.
So my question: How can I configure visual studio respective its Azure tools to use a proxy server instead of a direct connection? I already tried configuring the proxy server within the file devenv.exe.config but this doesn't show any effect for Windows Azure
tools.
Regards
tschaena

As we have very similar problems I consider the found solution a work arround an existing problem which will not work if corporate FW policy does not allow such changes.
In my mind, any tools in charge of dealing with some sort of FW protocols should deliver the following information, should make it absolute clear how to setup that the request packages are setup rigth at the first time.
a) proxy server
b) proxy port
c) proxy user
d) proxy users-password
e) proxy.auth.Preference="BASIC"
And for moste tools (including Visual Studio and AZUR Tools) it is absolut unclear
a) how to setup that on a per tools basis
b) OR who inherits this information from whom i.e. use the same as IE does, what if we use FireFox or any other browsers?
I understand that developers requested to cure such problem areas will often have difficulty to gain all required elemenst used to realy test the solution.
But I can tell you: I loos more time figthing down the FW setups for my clients. WHat I do at home in a sniff, takes ages to be realised by all the various clients on the market where each has to deliver the same sort of information but actually does not,
or has it just somewhere, but not in the vicinity of the demanding user.
Good examples i.e. NetBeans IDE where the Option Menu shows very clearly what information is required to pass through a FW/Proxy; but even there, the hint to start with a BASIC authentication schema is not part of this OPTION menu and must be added a JAVA
environment value. But at least, it works.

32-bit Application stops working on Windows 7 Enterprise machine after Windows is restarted

Hello,
We have a legacy 32-bit application that we distribute that was built with Microsoft's Visual Basic 6.0. I have installed this application on many versions of Windows up to and including Windows 8.1 with no issues.
Recently we provided the application to one of our end users who is running Windows 7 Enterprise on multiple laptops. They are able to install the application and run it without issues until the machine is restarted. After the machine is restarted
the icon for the application changes to the standard Windows EXE icon and when they attempt to start the application they get the Windows message box: "The version of this application is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running....".
From the research I have done, this error would only apply to trying to run a 16-bit application or if you are trying to run a 64-bit application on a 32-bit version of Windows, neither of which is the case here.
It also quite odd that they are able to install and run the application with no issues until Windows is restarted, and this has been verified on multiple of their machines. The icon change is also quite odd.
If anyone can provide any information regarding this issue it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi,
