Why was "Microsoft Azure Services" weblink installed on all 2012/ 2012R2 machines?

I can't seem to find the KB article mentioning this weblink being installed on all of our machines. Can someone help us out? Just trying to figure out how this weblink got onto all our 2012/2012R2 machines.

Hi Sir,
Thanks for your posting!
I am not totally understanding your meaning. In my azure server, we could see this administrative Tools, such as this image:
Would you like to replace this folder as a weblink?

  • Why was my Backup Deleted after installing 5.0.1?

    I was prompted to install 5.0.1. I decided to backup my ipod before the Update.
    There is logs for the backup but there is now no backup on my computer pre-5.0.1.

    That's odd. I backup my iPhone up regularly and it only ever lists the most recent backup made.  I've checked the folder for other backups, but there aren't any listed.
    Do you manully back up your iPod or let iTunes do it automatically?
    I don't think this applies, but according to this Apple support document: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946
    Note: Backups that are listed with a Date and Time stamp in the backup name were created by restoring the iOS device.

  • Microsoft Azure service

    Hello,
    We are created two VMs in  windows azure cloud services and I am trying to ping between them. But it is not get communicate with each other.
    VM1 – our application server.
    VM2 – our Database server.
    And both are configured  in same DNS & location.  Can please any one assist in this.
    Regards,

    Regards, Surendran.G

    Different Azure cloud services cannot communicate to each other in this way, unless they are configured in the same virtual network and use the internal names or the external endpoint for ping is exposed to allow the server to ping through the *.cloudapp.net
    url
    If they are configured properly with the azure ports, check your windows firewall to make sure the servers themselves are allowing pings

  • Error : -2145124329 Installing Microsoft Azure Recovery Services Agent on SBS Standard 2011

    When installing the Microsoft Azure Recovery Services Agent on Windows SBS 2011 Standard I receive error code - Error : -2145124329. When looking at the file OBManagedlog.LOGCurr.errlog located here: C:\Windows\Temp extract below it appears to be failing on
    the Windows Powershell 3.0 prerequisite which is apart of the .NET 3 Framework. I have tried to install this manually but it does not appear to be compatible with SBS 2011 standard. Anyone have any ideas? MS Azure cannot help until we have a paid subscription,
    I have only a trial at the moment as I wanted to test the product first but have been unable to do so as i can't install the agent.

    Hi,
    I searched and it seems that Windows SBS 2011 is not in the support list. Only Windows Server 2012 Essentials (and later versions) are available.

    Edit on May.2: I've heard that it was supported in trial version so I'm now trying to contact related team about whether or not it is supported. Will update when getting any response.

  • Publish cloud service fails from Visual Studio 2013 Update 4: Published Asset Entry for Image Microsoft.Azure.Diagnostics_PaaSDiagnostics_europeall_manifest.xml not found.

    I have a cloud service project with two roles (service and worker). In Visual Studio 2013 Update 4 when I choose "Publish..." from the "Solution Explorer",  it opens "Microsoft Azure Activity Log" and quickly terminates.
    Here the log:
    9:43:47 AM - Applying Diagnostics extension.
    9:44:09 AM - Published Asset Entry for Image Microsoft.Azure.Diagnostics_PaaSDiagnostics_europeall_manifest.xml not found.
    All works fine when uploading the package and updating from https://manage.windowsazure.com/. It only fails from within Visual Studio.
    What can I do to get it working?

    I have the same problem with our Azure project. Two web roles (service and worker). Just updated from SDK2.2 to SDK2.5 and Visual Studio 2013 Update 2 to Update 4. The main reason behind this was to move from log4net to WAD and in doing so, of course directly
    move to the new diagnostics version.
    Now, I get the same error message in Visual Studio:
    11:45:24 - Checking for Remote Desktop certificate...
    11:45:25 - Applying Diagnostics extension.
    11:45:45 - Published Asset Entry for Image Microsoft.Azure.Diagnostics_PaaSDiagnostics_europeall_manifest.xml not found.
    With my small testing project - also two roles (service and worker) - everything is fine. However, I'm looking for a solution to make by existing production service working.
    Also the test project shows no Microsoft.Azure.Diagnostics_PaaSDiagnostics_europeall_manifest.xml,
    but this is no problem - so what's the meaning of or solution to this error messages?
    What I found so far:
    I deployed the Azure project from the same development environment to another Azure test service: Deployment
    showed no errors and the service is running fine! So the problem is not with the source, the development environment, library dependencies etc.
    Trying Azure cmdlets for PowerShell also work fine for the new service and fails for the production service with almost the same error message:
    Following http://blogs.msdn.com/b/kwill/archive/2014/12/02/windows-azure-diagnostics-upgrading-from-azure-sdk-2-4-to-azure-sdk-2-5.aspx
    I tried:
    PS C:\> Set-AzureServiceDiagnosticsExtension -StorageContext $storageContext -DiagnosticsConfigurationPath $public_config -ServiceName $service_name -Slot 'Staging' -Role $role_name
    VERBOSE: Setting PaaSDiagnostics configuration for MyWebRole.
    Set-AzureServiceDiagnosticsExtension : BadRequest : Published Asset Entry for Image
    Microsoft.Azure.Diagnostics_PaaSDiagnostics_europeall_manifest.xml not found.

    The problem seems to be related to those service configuration parts in the cloud which are not replaced
    by a new deployment... So what are possible reasons or fixes for this behaviour?

  • Run MSOnline Module without installing Microsoft Online Services Sign-In Assistant

    Hi guys,
    I would to check if it is possible to run Azure Active Directory Powershell (MSOnline) without installation of 
    Microsoft Online Services Sign-In Assistant
    Azure Active Directory Module for Windows PowerShell (64-bit version)
    I'm coming from the point of application deployment where the objective is to reduce additional installation to the server and to package the DLL, PSD1 (if required) of the Azure AD Module and run it like a portable app.
    Did anyone manage to do that? 
    i found the modules installed in one of my testing machine C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules\MSOnline and i tried to run the module in a new server without any installation of those mentioned above, it gives Type Initialization error. I
    believe it is caused by lacking of Microsoft Online Service Sign-In Assistant. 
    Where are the dlls stored for MS Online Sign-In Assistant so that i can try to copy to the new server and test? 
    Thanks in advance!
    Cheng

    You can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    You can trash Firefox 4.0 then re-install Firefox 3.6, it will use your existing bookmarks, passwords etc
    Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com

  • Many years ago synced iCal with Microsoft program. Since installing Lion whenever I try to create an event in iCal it flashes up message "Unable to open Microsoft sync services Power PC applications no longer supported." How do I get rid of message?

    Many years ago synced iCal with Microsoft program. Since installing Lion whenever I try to create an event in iCal it flashes up message "Unable to open Microsoft sync services Power PC applications no longer supported." How do I get rid of message?

    Lion no longer supports PowerPC apps. If this is Microsoft Office 2008 (Entourage 2008) then you should disable the syncing services.  (I don't have Office 2008 installed anymore so I don't know exactly what it's called anymore.)  If you have Microsoft Office 2004 or earlier, then it can't be run on Lion at all since Lion removed Rosetta, which is what allowed a PPC app to run on an Intel based Mac.
    Also, I believe Microsoft removed sync services from the current Outlook 2011 (which replaces Entourage) so even upgrading to a newer version of Microsoft Office will not get you back that calendar sync feature.  Supposedly Microsoft is working on a new syncing system, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

  • Why to extra service while installing RAC?

    Hi All,
    I have installed 10gR2 2-node RAC. By following the steps given in the following link:
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/hunter_rac10gr2.html
    I have the following doubt:
    In this link, it is mentioned to create ORCLTEST service apart oracle's original service_name (ORCL) and TAF on ORCLTEST service while creating cluster database using DBCA. Why do we need this? can we apply TAF on the original service name(ORCL)? if so, how can i do it? While connecting from any applications like web based application which one to use ORCL or ORCLTEST?
    Thanks,
    Praveen.

    As Jeffrey says ... during the install, he created the extra TAF-aware service. "It provides all the necessary configuration parameters for load balancing and failover."
    TAF has some non-traditional configuration requirements. Go back through the install & configure sections to see exactly how he did that. Or read the Oracle Networking manual ... TAF is primarily implemented in the Oracle Networking layer and the appropriate OCI libraries.

  • No Cloud Services when signing into Microsoft Azure Publish

    When signing into Microsoft Azure Publish in Visual Studio 2013 (right click Cloud Project -> "Publish..."), none of my cloud services are appearing.
    This has previously always been working for me.
    Signing in using my Windows Live account (I am a "co-administrator"):
    When opening the publish window, I get this popup asking me to create a new service!
    Because as you can see, I now have no services:
    I have no idea what has happened. Can anyone help?
    I also tried signing in with the portal Administrator credentials - same problem!
    I posted this same question on stackoverflow:  http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27544319/no-cloud-services-when-signing-into-microsoft-azure-publish

    Hi,
    I have tested the same in my lab environment and I am able to find the list of cloud services.
    Suggest you to try the below
    Sign Out of your subscription by going to Publish > Manage > Sign Out
    Re open Visual Studio by choosing Run as an Administrator and Sign In with your subscription and check if you are now able to find all the cloud services in your subscription
    Looking forward for your reply.

  • VM in Running (Installing Extensions) state - it seems it's failing to enable the Microsoft.Azure.Diagnostics.IaasDiagnostics plugin

    My VM is in the follow state "Running (installing extensions) state. In the dashboard it appears that the IaasDiagnostics extension is not enabled. The message displayed in the dashboard is:
    Enable failed for plugin (name: Microsoft.Azure.Diagnostics.IaaSDiagnostics, version 1.2.0.0) with exception Command C:\Packages\Plugins\Microsoft.Azure.Diagnostics.IaaSDiagnostics\1.2.0.0\DiagnosticsPluginLauncher12.exe of Microsoft.Azure.Diagnostics.IaaSDiagnostics has exited with Exit code: -3
    How can I get this working?

    Hi,
    Thanks for your feedback.
    Can you RDP into the VM? If yes, you can check the log in the path below to see if you can find any root reason for this issue:
    C:\WindowsAzure\Logs\WaAppAgent.log
    I also tried to use the Remove-AzureVMDiagnosticsExtension cmdlets to do that and got the same results as yours:
    I am sorry to say that I haven't found any ways to remove the DiagnosticsExtension in Azure PowerShell at present. I recommend you to feeback this on the Azure feedback
    link below:
    http://feedback.azure.com/forums/216843-virtual-machines
    By the way, you can access the
    preview portal by going to Browse Virtual Machines, select the VM, select
    Extensions, select the extension to remove and click Delete. After it has been deleted, go back and select
    Add and add it back.
    In addition, if you restart the VM and still encounter this issue, please contact Azure support by requesting a support ticket in the link below:
