Win2000 Server and OS 10.4.11 connection issues

We have 2 Macs running on a WIN2000 Server we have had no issues up until lately. We connect to a drive on the WIN2000 server and normally it will stay connected all day with no interruptions. Now we both are experiencing at least 2-3 times a day the drive is just disconnected and dropped off our desktop, no dialog box stating this, nothing. We don't even realize it's missing until we try and open something from the drive. We don't even get an error message when we try and save documents to the drive. So please help us. Is it the WIN2000 server or is it our MAC OS X we were wondering if it was the latest security update we have done?

Hi tsmonson-
If this is a fairly recent problem, and you did nothing to cause it and cannot find a logical explanation otherwise, all things point towards a possible server problem.
Have you had the folks that maintain the server take a look at it?

New server and/or CA certificate for connection from custom authentication

We are running Access Manager version 72005Q4 in the Sun ONE Web Server 6.1SP5 B06/23/2005 container with java build 1.5.0_07-b03. I run a custom authentication module which checks sessions against our university single sign on system which is CAS (from Yale/Jasig). The checks are essentially https calls. All this has been working well for us for the last couple of years.
I would like to migrate the certificate used on the university CAS system from a Verisign certificate to a wildcard certificate issued by the IPS CA in spain -- these are in most browsers but are not in the standard batch of cacerts CA's -- and are free for .edu domains.
My other java based authentication plugins (Blackboard, custom apps etc) have worked fine once I import the certificate into the cacerts for the java container, but I'm missing something (obvious probably) about importing this certificate so that my amserver custom authentication module can connect to the CAS server once the CAS server is using the new certificate.
Could anyone provide guidance on where I need to import this server certificate (or preferably the IPS CA) in order to allow the custom authentication module to work properly? I assume this same problem has been solved by people wishing to connect from the amserver to services with self signed certificates. For some reason I'm finding the debugging unexpectedly difficult, I'll outline some of those details below.
Relevant things I've tried so far:
Import both the server cert and the IPS CA into the cacerts of the java container identified in the web server server.xml /usr/jdk/entsys-j2se.
Import the IPS CA into the web server cert8 style db via the web admin server.
The debugging has surprised me a bit, as I'm not getting an error that is explicitly SSL related error. It almost seems like the URLConnection object ends up using a HttpURLConnection rather than an HttpsURLConnection and never gives me a cert error, rather a connection refused since there is no non SSL service running on CAS. The same code pointed to the server running the verisign cert works as expected.

String line;
StringBuffer buf = new StringBuffer();
while ((line = r.readLine()) != null)
buf.append(line + "\n");
return buf.toString();
} finally { ...
The fact that this same code in other authentication modules running outside the amserver (in other web containers as well, tomcat and resin for example) running java 1.5 works fine with the new CA, as well as with self signed certs that I've imported into the appropriate cacerts file leads me to believe that I'm either importing the certificate into the wrong store, or that there is some additional step needed for the amserver in the Sun Web container.
Thank you very much for any insights and help,
Ethan

I thought since this has had a fair number of views I would give an update.
I have been able to confirm that the custom authentication module is using the cert8 db defined in the AMConfig property com.iplanet.am.admin.cli.certdb.dir as documented. I do seem to have a problem using the certificate to make outgoing connections, even though the certificate verifies correctly for use as a server certificate. This is likely a question for a different forum, but just to show what I'm looking at:
root@jbc1 providers#/usr/sfw/bin/certutil -V -n "FSU Wildcard Certificate" -d /opt/SUNWwbsvr/alias -P https-jbc1.ucs.fsu.edu-jbc1- -u V
certutil: certificate is valid
root@jbc1 providers#/usr/sfw/bin/certutil -V -n "FSU Wildcard Certificate" -d /opt/SUNWwbsvr/alias -P https-jbc1.ucs.fsu.edu-jbc1- -u C
certutil: certificate is invalid: Certificate type not approved for application.
root@jbc1 providers#/usr/sfw/bin/certutil -M -n "FSU Wildcard Certificate" -d /opt/SUNWwbsvr/alias -P https-jbc1.ucs.fsu.edu-jbc1- -t uP,uP,uP
root@jbc1 providers#/usr/sfw/bin/certutil -V -l -n "FSU Wildcard Certificate" -d /opt/SUNWwbsvr/alias -P https-jbc1.ucs.fsu.edu-jbc1- -u C
FSU Wildcard Certificate : Certificate type not approved for application.
So it could be that I don't understand how to use the certutiil to get the permissions I want, or it could be that using the same certificate for both server and client functions is not supported -- though you can see why this would be a common case with wildcard certificates.
BTW for those interested, it did seem to be the case that when the certificate failure occurred that the attempt was then made by the URLConnection to bind to port 80 in cleartext even though the URL was clearly https. I'm sure this was just an attempt to help out misformed URL, but it seemed that the URLConnection implementation in the amserver would swapped traffic over cleartext if that port had been open on the server I was making the https connection to; that seems dangerous to me, I would not have wanted it to quietly work that way exposing sensitive information to the network.
This was why I was getting back a connection refused instead of a certificate exception. The URLConnection implementation used by the amserver is defined by java.protocol.handler.pkgs=com.iplanet.services.comm argument passwd to the JVM, and I imagine this is done because the amserver pre-dates the inclusion of the sun.net.www.protocol handlers, but I don't know, there maybe reasons why the amserver wants it own handler. I only noticed that this is what was going on when I as casting the httpsURLConnection objects to other types trying to diagnose the certificate problem. I would be interested in hearing if anyone knows if there is a reason not to use sun.net.www.protocol with the amserver.
After switching to the sun.net.www.protocol handler I was able to get my certificate errors rather than the "Connection Refused" which is what lead me to the above questions about certutil.

Server 2012 R2 RRAS NAT VPN connectivity issues

Hello all,
I'm having trouble making IKEv2 connections to my VPN server from the Internet after changing my home lab network infrastructure to use Server 2012 R2 RRAS NAT routing. Despite all of the appearances of a proper configuration, it appears that NAT-T is not
working properly.
Let me preface my questions/issues with some critical infrastructure disclosures/explanations to help troubleshoot this issue:
1. This is a home lab environment with no impact to corporate production systems in any way. All information garnered from help in this session is understood to be as-is.
2. The entire environment is on Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V. I’ve configured trunking on all of the layer 2 (Cisco Catalyst switch) etherchannels, and I’ve configured trunking on the Hyper-V vSwitches. I have no issue with internal routing or NAT or with attaching
to VPN from an internal VLAN, which indicates that routing (Layer 3) is not at issue here since everything goes where it should.
3. The NAT server and the VPN server are two separate Windows Server 2012 R2 Std. Hyper-V VMs. The NAT server has 1 NAT uplink to/from my ISP and 5 router interfaces (NICs with no gateways specified). I have a static IP, so it’s not an IP changing anywhere.
I have all of the port forwarding on the public NAT interface configured properly. Email, web, and application access work fine from out-to-in. The VPN server has 2 NICs: one on a VPN VLAN and the other on an internal VLAN.
4. I ran Netmon from my corporate office and saw that IKEv2 traffic to my host over UDP 500 was successful (I got a response back), but the connection to UDP 4500 was attempted 3 times and then fails. Since UDP 4500 is the NAT-T port, I’m thinking this is
where the fault is occurring. I also ran Netmon from the NAT router itself and found that traffic was flowing from the Internet to the VPN server up the stack to Layer 3.
5. As a test, I turned off Windows firewall on both the VPN server and the NAT server. This made no difference, so firewall is not at play here.
6. My certificates are configured properly with my external VPN address and appropriate SANs pointing to the public IP address. These same certificates worked without issue prior to the migration to Server 2012 R2 RRAS as my NAT router.
The actual error I'm receiving is Error 809 which indicates a problem with the connectivity to the VPN server, presumably through the NAT router. Prior to the change to virtual routing, I was using a Linksys E3000 with L2TP/PPTP passthrough enabled and had
no issues connecting to my VPN server remotely.
Some questions I have specifically regarding Server 2012 R2 RRAS and NAT:
1. Is NAT-T "turned on" by default? Are there any settings required through netsh or elsewhere that I might have overlooked to enable NAT Traversal?
2. How can I test if NAT-T is working outside of VPN testing?
3. Is it Microsoft's recommendation/requirement that VPN and NAT be collocated on the same server? I noticed in the NAT forwarding rules that the pre-defined L2TP forwarder says "L2TP on this server." Does that indicate that L2TP can't pass beyond
that server? What are the security implications for running VPN from the router?
Any help would be appreciated. I've been troubleshooting this issue for 2 weeks and cannot seem to find any documentation or help on this issue. I'm hoping if others have similar issues, this post will help point them in the right direction. I have netmon
captures to assist with troubleshooting if it comes to that. I'm certain this is NAT-T at this point, but I just can't prove it beyond a shadow of a doubt, and I have customers who have asked about using Microsoft RRAS for routing. I can't, in good conscience,
recommend it if NAT-T is problematic since most companies want some sort of VPN solution for their environment.
Respectfully yours,
Ron Arestia

Weblogic 8.1 App Server and IBM MQ Series 5.2 Issue

Hi All,
          I am trying to create a bridge between Weblogic 8.1 App Server and IBM MQ Series 5.2 and i am facing issues.
          Bridge works fine if i use QualityOfService="Atmost-once" and i am getting following error when i use
          QualityOfService="Duplicate-okay".
          Error:
          <Oct 16, 2003 6:03:35 PM PDT> <Error> <MessagingBridge> <BEA-200015> <An error occurred in bridge "MQSeries WebLogic Bridge" during the transfer of messages (java.lang.Exception: weblogic.jms.adapter.JMSConnectionHandle.acknowledge(Ljavax/jms/MessageV).>

          Any suggestions or comments will be really appreciated.

It is weird that nothing shows up in the log after you turned on the debug.
          Actually I knew somebody has run into the same problem once.
          The problem disappeared after he did something on the MQSeries side (like
          restart the system and something else). I did not know exactly what he did.
          I am not sure if that will help you but worth trying.
          If that does work either, I'd suggest that you contact the BEA Customer Support
          and somebody will look at it for you in depth.
          Thanks,

Exchange Server 2013 Service Pack Upgrade - Outlook connectivity issue

Hi,
After upgrading to Exchange Server 2013 service pack 1, we are unable to connect via Outlook 2010 or Outlook 2013. Outlook Web Access is working fine though. We have followed all the instructions, and have applied Outlook upgrades, but the issue remain the
same. Outlook was working fine before the upgrade.
Have we missed out something. I would highly appreciate if someone can help out? I'm not sure if this is the known issue as I can't seem to find anything on the internet.
Already applied the transport fix.
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
According to your description, your Outlook 2010 and Outlook 2013 come across the connectivity issue.
To narrow down the issue, I’d like to recommend the following troubleshooting:
1. Check if the issue happens on all Outlook users
2. Check the Outlook Anywhere connectivity by using ExRCA:
https://testconnectivity.microsoft.com/
Additionally, MAPI over HTTP is only supported when you use Outlook 2013 sp1 and Exchange 2013 sp1 at the same time. Since the issue also happens on Outlook 2010 client, we can firstly try the above troubleshooting.
If you have any question , please feel free to let me know.
Thanks,

Jaybird headphones and Macbook Pro Retina bluetooth connectivity issues

I recently purchased the Jaybird Bluebuds X Premium headphones and for awhile it would connect to my new Macbook Pro Retina 15'' via bluetooth, but now it doesn't anymore. The headphones connect just fine to my phone (iPhone 4S), and other Macbook Pros (not retina), but they do not connect to other Macbook Pro Retinas. I was wondering if this was a connectivity issue with Macbook Pro Retinas and if so how can I get around it to connect the headphones again?
Thanks

Hey there LongHorn16,
It sounds like your Bluetooth headphones aren't working with this one computer, but there is no issue with other devices that you have. I would start with these 2 steps from the following article:
Restart your computer
Sometimes a simple restart of your Mac is all it takes to get things running smoothly again. You may also want to try resetting your computer's PRAM and NVRAM.
Reset your Bluetooth device
Try turning your device off and then on again. If that doesn't resolve the issue, see if you can reset your device—refer to the documentation that came with your device for instructions.
Bluetooth Quick Assist
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1153
If it still doesn't work, then I would next use this article to remove the device:
Bluetooth: How to Delete a Paired Device
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA27116
Then restart your computer and pair it again:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

Win2000 Server and Tiger Compatibility

We're a commercial printer and just bought 2 new G5's with OS 10.4.3. Our server is Win2000, SP4. We also have some Mac's with OS9. We are connected to server via TCP/IP.
When copying customers files from OS9 to server, the type 1 font size is zero K when viewed on the G5. Fonts look ok when viewed from OS9. When copied from OSX fonts look ok but OS9 views size as zero K.
Do we need third party software such as XtremeZ-IP or is there something we can do to address this problem?
Thanks, Bob
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Hi Bob!
Are your Mac OS X machines connecting via SMB rather than AFP? A file size of 0k would indicate you're looking at the resource fork rather than the data fork (where the bulk of the file's data resides).
ExtremeZ-IP isn't necessary, but for a commercial printer I'd recommend it to take advantage of 10.4.x's AFP 3.2 features such as long file names (up to about 255 characters) and Windows' full set of permissions (not just owner, group and everyone but also the extended permissions).
Keep in mind that to maintain compatibility with your Mac OS 9 systems, you need to keep file names short and permissions simple.
Hope this helps! bill

URGENT : MS SQL Server and SAP BW 3.5 Connection problem....

Hello All,
How ya all doin ?
I got job as a fresher, and now we are facing some problem here with
the datasource creation / generation. We have already generated views
& DSs for some tables, for some views we can see the data in the
datasource in the BW datasources but for some views it is giving
information NO DATA IN THE TABLE for that we can see the data in the
DB Table in MS SQL Server using select ......
Kindly help with this issue as soon as possible.
Thanks in advance....
Best Regards....
Sankar Kumar

Hello Sankar,
Thanks...
For Varchar(500) you can try this way.
When you are getting data from DBConnect, include that VARCHAR(500) field in view (so this includes this field to be in transfer structure). But don't map any transfer rules for this field (This avoids the problems to be raised by DB Connect).
Create a Start Routine in the Transfer Rules. In this routine, you can access your VARCHAR(500) field. (I don't know what is your requirement for VARCHAR(500) field with respect to reporting perspective.)
One way is create 9 InfoObjects with char(60). Then parse the varchar(500) field and assign to InfoObject1, InfoObject2 so on....
Another way is, create a table using se11. With key fields to identify individual comments, comment Line number and actual comment. Parse varchar field and insert into this table. Based on your requirement either create a generic extractor using this table and load the data into ODS. Then you can join this ODS and rest of the data ODS and display. or write an ABAP program to show as report using this table...
Hope this helps,

FCP 6.0.5 and Sony HVR-M15U - DV Connection Issue

My head is hurting at the moment. I cannot get my Sony DV deck to be seen in FCP 6.0.5. I can see the deck as HDV. For DV mode, you have to turn on the iLink conversion. I have set the deck to iLink Set - DV SP. BUT... Final Cut Pro does not see the deck at all.
Here's the specs:
Mac Pro (Late 2007) Quad Pro 3.0
8 gig of matching paired RAM
FCS 2.0 with all of the latest updates.
MacOS 10.5.6
AJA Kona 3 driver version 6.03
AJA Io driver version 2.01 - disconnected unless needed for capture from older tape decks
ATI Radeon XT1900 (512 RAM)
ATTO Celerity FC-42ES fiber channel card
Quicktime 7.6
Adobe Creative Suite Premium CS3 (with all updates applied)
I have checked Apple's tech site and forums, nothing other than removing the old Quicktime receipts and reinstalling Quicktime. I tried this... Still nothing. I tried to use another deck, a Sony HVR-M10U. Nothing!
Before you say, its the firewire connection in the computer, HDV does work just fine. Its DV that doesn't work. I have used it just fine with Adobe Premier Pro CS3 (DV capture and Export to Tape). Apple's iMovie sees the deck just fine, too. I wish I had an HVR-1500 deck so that I could bypass this issue, but I don't have one.
What I ended up doing was exporting my sequences from FCP using Quicktime Conversion and setting it to DV Stream. Then I can import my video into Premier Pro CS3 and Export to Tape. Works perfectly.
If I go back into FCP and try this, I get an error message telling me the firewire connection is not found. My iLink lights on the front of the deck are also off. Its not showing any iLink connection on the deck. Now, when I open Premier Pro, the iLink light comes on for DVCAM.
Makes you go, hummmmmm........
HELP!

>could not get PP CS5 to display the video
As far as I know (from reading only, I don't do HDV) PPro does not show the video during capture... this is not a bug
You should (again, reading only) be able to see the video in PPro while simply playing it on the camera and not actually capturing
CS5 User Guides - online and PDF (see link in upper right corner at individual pages)
http://blogs.adobe.com/premiereprotraining/2010/08/help-documents-for-creative-suite-5-pdf -and-html.html
Over on the Win side many people use HDVSplit for capturing, but I have no idea what is available for a Mac

Windows 8 pro and 8.1 pro WiFi connection issues

I hope to start a meaningful dialogue with Microsoft about the WiFi issues that Windows 8 and 8.1 have.
I've been deploying Windows 8 and 8.1 since the Surface Pro was released. Since then we've deployed about 50-75 Surface Pro, Surface Pro 2, Dell Latitude 7000 series, Lenovo Yoga 13 IdeaPad and Lenovo Yoga Thinkpad devices. Some have Windows
8 pro, some have been upgraded to 8.1 Pro, and some were purchased with native 8.1 Pro builds on them. All of these devices have difficulty with wireless in one form or another. We were able to reduce some of the problems (not eliminate) on our
corporate LAN over the last year by turning off Windows' ability to turn off the wireless adapter to save power, or turning off some of the offload or chimney or other advanced capabilities of the adapters. Problems were still present, but less so.
Many of our users were able to be on the wired LAN, so the issues were somewhat glossed over.
We were finally able to fix our Wireless LAN issue (we believe everything is working as expected after 2 weeks of testing and observation) by updating the controller and AP firmware for our Aruba wireless infrastructure (we have one controller and 11 ap's
across 5 well connected sites). This is great- sort of...
The problem is that while it's now very obvious that in our case, updating the firmware on our corporate WiFi is able to get the various 8 and 8.1 devices working on our LAN, this is not a true fix as it does not address our mobile and wireless capabilities
while:
1. traveling
2. working at a partner's or customer's location and connecting to their WiFi
3. Working from Home
4. Etc.
We obviously can't update everyone's AP/wireless router firmware. The solution, by necessity, must reside on the Windows 8/8.1 machine and it's inability to reliably connect and stay connected to existing Wifi networks. I want
to know the current state and thinking that Microsoft has regarding this persistent issue (searching for "Windows 8.1 wifi" in the "Windows 8.1 IT pro" forums on TechNet returned 4000+ results). Ignoring or not addressing this
problem head on is a huge mistake. Let us know the root cause (SOMETHING has changed in the Network/IP stack) and a solution to work around the cause.
I'll conclude like this: I KNOW that some Wifi issues can be resolved with firmware updates to WiFi routers/APs. I KNOW that some WiFi issues can be resolved with driver updates or, in some cases, downgrades. I KNOW some Wifi issues can be resolved
by uninstalling Intel ProSET, or getting manufacturer direct drivers. I KNOW some issues can be resolved by turning off Windows' ability to turn off the adapter when "not in use" to save power. I KNOW some owner's of Windows 8/8.1
machines have downgraded to Windows 7 or XP or abandoned Microsoft altogether and move to Linux or Mac. The ONLY common problem across all of these solutions, is Windows 8/8.1. Therein MUST lie the ultimate answer.

THIS.
I have been going through the same efforts as DLovitt with no joy. I have ruled out all variables which leads directly to something with Win 8/8.1 being the problem. Very frustrating that I cannot find a fix anywhere.
Subscribing to this thread in the hopes an answer is forthcoming.

Windows 2008 Server and HP Color LaserJet 2605dn Driver Issue when Sharing Printer

I have a HP Color LaserJet 2605dn printer that I need to setup on a Windows 2008 server. I need the server to act as a Print server, but I have been unable to get any drivers to load other than the 64 Bit Universal drivers. Because most of the company uses XP (32 and 64 bit), I also need to load those drivers under additional drivers; however, I have been unable to load them, when I point to the INF file (any of the 10 that unzip from the driver package), it says it is not for this printer. I have even tried the generic 32 bit PS and it says the same thing. Any ideas on what I am doing incorrectly or where to get the drivers that I need?
Thanks,
Gary

Hello, I have the same problem. For the 2605 Printer is only the universal print driver available. Is seems that HP is to be lazy about making new 2008 driver.

PowerBook and iMac 802.11 G connectivity issues

I have a Linksys WCG200 (Cable modem/ 4 port wired /802.11G wireless router) that I use to share internet with two notebook PCs (work) and my Powerbook G4 and iMac G5. This set-up has worked flawlessly for 6 months.
Recently, I have run into the issue of not being able to connect wirelessly with my Macs. If I take the PowerBook to within a few feet fo the router, it will sometimes "see" it, but then when attempting to connect, it will indicate "there was an error connecting to the network". The PC notebooks see the router OK and my MACs see all the neighbors SSID's, but not mine. My SSID is not hidden, and I can still wire the MACs to the router and connect OK.
The firmware on the Linksys is not user upgradeable and I have not changed it.
All software updates on the MACs are current.
Any ideas?

Cheers for the quick replies, but I'm feeling particularly stupid today. I'm going to the recommended website on the BT help page to do it - http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/32376/kw/802.11n/c/346,502,504 - but it's just now showing up. "Problem loading page" and all that.
Ah well, I just checked the streaming video problem using another device, and it works fine, so I'm guessing the problem is nothing to do with my network and something to do with the 360.

Jetpack LTE and older imac w/airport connection issue

Hello,
I get an error message when trying to login to jetpack lte with an older imac G4 OSX 10.4.11 via the airpot card. Can I disable WEB security on this unit to bypass the WEP security password issue? I can login onto this unit with my Macbook Pro no problem.
This is my mom's computer and I am trying to help her out. It is her only means of internet where she lives.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Marten

Marten,
If you disable WEP from the MiFi you will disable security for everyone and leave your device open and vulnerable to moochers. I do not suggest opening your connection up to the world as anyone who connects without your consent will hold you liable for thier data usage.
Instead, a better technique would be to change the password type from WEP to WPA or preferrably WPA2. The newer security types will be more secure than WEP anyways and should always be used whenever possible.
Regardless, the steps to change your password to disabled or another type are all the same. Test them out and choose which ever option will work the best for you. See the MiFi 890L User Guide for more details:
http://cache.vzw.com/multimedia/mim/vzw_890_jetpack/eufi_890_manual.pdf
To change the MiFi 890L Security Type:
1. Connect a computer to the MiFi
2. Navigate to 192.168.1.1 or http://vz.hotspot
3. Sign into the MiFi with the admin password printed on the back of the device
4. Navigate to WiFi Settings > Security
5. Change the Security Type
6. Confirm and record your wirelss password in the Password field (this will change from type to type)
7. Click Apply

SQL Server Connectivity Issues

Hi,
I am getting the below error intermittently. On the Database server, CPU, Disk I/O, and Network all look fine.
Any suggestions on where to track what may be causing this issue? Thanks!
The underlying provider failed on Open. ---> System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the pre-login handshake. (provider: SSL Provider, error: 0 - The wait operation

Thanks.

Hi,
Restarted the server 5days ago but getting these connection issues each day since and for a couple of weeks before restart.
Apps connecting are .Net and using Entity Framework, but occasionally I get the connection error when attempting to connect through SSMS.

Azure Visual Studio 2013 Integrated Sign Connectivity Issues

I am having periodic VS2013 Ultimate and Azure tools 2.3 connectivity issues. I'd say it's all related to session timing out but it causes VS to crash sometimes and other times when using some Azure feature, right clicking 'Web Role' I get 'Object....null
reference' messages.
I can ask studio to connect to Azure, via right clicking Azure node of Azure branch in server explorer and it always tells me I'm currently signed in as the correct\current user but this seems to prevent the issue from occurring if I do this first thing
everyday.
How can I properly resolve the Visual Studio crashes and such? I'd say I've had Visual Studio 2013 crash more in the last 6 months than all prior VS crashes across my DEV lifetime....and I started developing long before Visual Studio was born :>)

Hi,
It's hard to reproduce this issue, please try to update your vs, then see whether this issue exist or not. You could also use another computer to do the same operation, if you encounter the same issue, please contact with azure support to
get further help: http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/support/contact/
