  • majornetwork Markku Leiniö (@majornetwork) reported

    User sign-in failure reason in @Azure AD: "Authentication method '{usedMethod}' by which the user authenticated with the service doesn't match requested authentication method '{requestedMethod}'. Contact the {appName} application owner." Helpful, huh?

  • HeyHelpDeskGuy Hey Help Desk Guy 🎅 (@HeyHelpDeskGuy) reported

    Does anyone out there wanna let me pick their brain about an @Azure issue where we suddenly lose access on prem unless we set a static dns? It's odd that it goes in and out.

  • thejayavardhan Jai 🚀 (@thejayavardhan) reported

    Standard_F16s_v2 VM's (8 CPU, 16Gb memory) plan in @Azure works extremely so slow compared to my laptop with i5 2.2GHz processor. Not by seconds but with a great margin of around 20 min for getting a SQL backup. How could this happen ??

  • HeyHelpDeskGuy Hey Help Desk Guy 🎅 (@HeyHelpDeskGuy) reported

    @_sapi3n @Azure So it's either a DNS issue (hence why everything works when clients are set to static DNS of Azure DC) or some weird auth issue.

  • JonnyEv5 Jonny (@JonnyEv5) reported

    Has anyone else seen Key Vault issues on @Azure ? Weird issue where functions are getting forbidden, settings haven't changed for months.

  • carlcod_es Carl Sargunar (@carlcod_es) reported

    @jonnychipz @cciechaz @Azure Damn! Gutted I missed this one

  • BemmelenPatrick Patrick van Bemmelen (@BemmelenPatrick) reported

    @Azure I had a UniFi Network Controller to manage my AP's which I wanted to move from my on-premises network to the cloud. By using a Docker image I was able to create a new installation into a Container Instance and restore my backup to this instance. This worked like a charm!

  • daric_erminote Dr Daric Erminote (@daric_erminote) reported

    @Azure To have a company you must a school open for the specific job, all the distribution has it. You have always problems with GDRPs because nobody doing it legally, but computer science is OK, you can't do with legislative science.

  • daric_erminote Dr Daric Erminote (@daric_erminote) reported

    @Azure Pass the bad one and you start, replace it with a good one and add strong verifications to sell it everywhere.

  • omwenga_c Collins Omwenga 🇰🇪💻☁️ (@omwenga_c) reported

    @msPartner I am having such a challenge publishing offers to the @Azure Marketplace. Where can I get help? Been trying to raise a support ticket but things sit moving as fast as I’d like 😭😭😭

  • harshitjuneja हर्षित जुनेजा 🤓 (@harshitjuneja) reported

    @Azure Why doesn’t shutting down a VM from within does not stop billing unlike @awscloud’s EC2 Compute? Why must one manually deallocate it out of band (Portal or CLI)? Looks like Microsoft is always the sub-par yet equally (if not more) expensive alternative for everything. 😒

  • daric_erminote Dr Daric Erminote (@daric_erminote) reported

    @Azure You delivering data falsification if you realised the problem and you won't solve it. We need authentic data, nobody stupid here!

  • ochostrike Rich (@ochostrike) reported

    Another **MULTI-REGION** @Azure @AzureSupport outage so soon after the last. Unacceptable. Hoping to hear a lot more about resilience and fundamental systems rearchitecture from @markrussinovich at #MSBuild2021 and a bit less about MS flavours of containerisation.

  • _dan_stradling Dan Stradling (@_dan_stradling) reported

    @jonnychipz @ThePugh @Azure Oh crap! I was hoping to watch the recording. Had a busy evening.

  • daric_erminote Dr Daric Erminote (@daric_erminote) reported

    @Azure My friend everyone is connected with his conduct and automatic GDPRs, you never passing custom within companies or government, nothing warrant anything, the trick is C2 and Level 2 with degrees and you bypass stuff with non-trasparency and you always in troubles with big.

  • matsika5 Tapi (@matsika5) reported

    @MicrochipTech @Azure Counting down

  • daric_erminote Dr Daric Erminote (@daric_erminote) reported

    @Azure I think @LinkedIn is interesting, you warranting that these people understanding electrical engineering and its legal, I haven't to take quizzes with my support company going to a nuclear power plant. So I haven't o open a school in my company.

  • AAngelisC Revan (@AAngelisC) reported

    I love how @Azure seems to have such poor scalability that even their portal is just giving up now. Right when we've solved a problem that would've been so much easier to find if the documentation was written properly..

  • thommck Thom McKiernan ☁️💻 (@thommck) reported

    Seeing lots of reports @Azure and other @Microsoft365 portals are down too. Any update @MSFT365Status?

  • camsoper Cam Soper (@camsoper) reported

    @ObomighieSophie @Azure This is for an App Service resource, right? It sounds to me like your ARM template describes some kind of deployment settings that conflict with what's already there.

  • TechTrainerTim Tim Warner (@TechTrainerTim) reported

    @JustinWGrote @Azure The reason I never use that separate portal is I'm typically going between Azure AD and related services like Conditional Access and Privileged Identity Management. Two portals is inefficient for my use case.

  • HeyHelpDeskGuy Hey Help Desk Guy 🎅 (@HeyHelpDeskGuy) reported

    @_sapi3n @Azure Our CSP just moved our on prem DC to Azure. Since then we've had issues were users on prem can't reach on prem servers. So like we have a IIS site that suddenly times out. The problem comes and goes intermittently.

  • daric_erminote Dr Daric Erminote (@daric_erminote) reported

    @Azure I activate communications and I only accept identities, education, vehicles and properties for this kind of ministerial terminal. For other issues we will implement other activations and practices.

  • TimSpursFan Tim Murphree (@TimSpursFan) reported

    @spara @Azure Holy **** try updating the default credit card to use for monthly billing. It takes you on some new “experience” as they like to call everything now. It’s like 10 clicks and an hour of hide and seek. Waaay over complicated

  • kyhwana GrumpSec Spottycat 🏳️‍🌈🐆 (@kyhwana) reported

    Come on @Azure it's 2021, you can add support for Ed25519 SSH keys already plz, ffs.

  • daric_erminote Dr Daric Erminote (@daric_erminote) reported

    @Azure It's a must, stupid machine learning give automatic problems with evaluations, your conduct is terrible all the time because nothing is transparent and transparency is missing.

  • daric_erminote Dr Daric Erminote (@daric_erminote) reported

    @Azure in October I am going to buy an online C2 and a Level 2 somewhere in UK. I am awaiting the removal of bad informations in the UK systems and then I pass the license, otherwise conducts making it terrible.
