I tried to export an azure Sql database to an azure blob storage via the Azuer portal and got an error:
Error encountered during the service operation. ;
Exception Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Dac.Services.ServiceException:Unexpected exception encountered while retrieving metadata for blob https://<blobstoragename>.blob.core.windows.net/databases/<databaseName>_12.10.2020-11:13:24.bacpac;.; Inner exception Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage.StorageException:The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden.;
Inner exception System.Net.WebException:The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden.
In the blob storage account's firewall settings all networks access is denied. It's only possible to connect for selected networks and I activated the option "Allow trusted Microsoft services to access this storage account". The Sql Server and the storage have an private endpoint connection to the same network.
I setup an vm in the same network which was able to access the blob storage.
Is it possible to export a sql database to the azure storage when the public network access is denied? If yes, which setting am I missing?
According to my research, when exporting a SQL database to the azure storage, the Azure Storage account behind a firewall is currently not supported. For more details, please refer to here. Besides, you can vote up the feedback to make Microsoft improve the features.
Is it possible to export a sql database to the azure storage when the public network access is denied?
Yes, it's impossible. But it will limit the access according the IP address.
If we only set the Storage firewall settings: Allow access from Selected network and Allow trusted Microsoft services to access this storage account, we will get the 403 error when access the storage from Azure SQL database.
The thing you missed is that when we set Allow access from Selected network, the Storage firewall will be more like Azure SQL database firewall settings! We can see there is an client IP in Firewall setting. We must add the client IP to the firewall then Azure SQL database could access it.

I'am trying to setup connection between Databricks and Azure data lake storage gen2 using Unity Catalog External Locations feature.
Assumptions:
Adls is behind private endpoint
Databricks workspace is in private vnet, i've added Private and Public subnet of the workspace to ADLS account in "Firewalls and virtual networks" (service endpoint)
I've grant the ACL's to the service principal on container lvl of the storage account.
After creating service principal with Storage Blob Data Contributor role (i've also tried Storage Blob Data Owner, Storage Account Contributor and Contributor roles) and creating storage credentials with External Location associated with it, i got an error:
Error in SQL statement: UnityCatalogServiceException: [RequestId=6f9a0a07-513c-45a5-b2aa-a67dd7d7e662 ErrorClass=INVALID_STATE] Failed to access cloud storage: AbfsRestOperationException
on the other hand:
After creating mount connection using the same service prinicpal i am able to connect the storage and write/read data to it.
Do you have any ideas?
When i try connect to the Adls using Managed Identity with the "Access Connector" the problem is gone, but it is now in public preview:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/databricks/data-governance/unity-catalog/azure-managed-identities
I have the same issue. I did notice then when the storage account network firewall is disabled on the datalake it works using the service principle as the storage credential.
I tried to add the public IP addresses from databricks found here but that did fail as well.
Not sure how (from what IP address) to discover how Unity Catalog connects to the storage account.
I have raised a support ticket with Microsoft and Databricks, will update once i hear more.
I fixed the issue by creating two Databricks connectors, one for accessing the metastore storage account and the other for accessing the data lake store account.
I built a storage account according to some youtube video and trying to export my database on azure. My aim was to export it and transform to .mdf and .ldf.
But i fail export it.
the message shows:
The storage account cannot be accessed. Please check the storage account name and key and try again
could anyone help me? or i should just pay for the support? Thankyou.

Microsoft does not allow to export data from SQL on Azure to an Azure Storage account with firewall enabled.
Storage behind a firewall is currently not supported.
Ensure the public network access enabled from all networks to access SQL database.
you can get access key from your storage account >> Security + networking >> acess key
Ensure the public network access is allowed for selected networks to access storage account.
Exported database succesfully:
I'm using Power BI Dataflows to access spreadsheets I have in blob storage. I have configured IAM permissions on the storage account for myself and the Power BI Service user. The network configuration is set to 'Allow trusted Microsoft services to access this storage account' and 'Microsoft network routing endpoint' preferences.
First Test: Storage Account allowing access from all networks
I am able to access the spreadsheet from the Power BI Service and perform transformations.
Second Test: Storage Account allowing only selected networks
In this case, I have added a group of CIDR blocks for other services that need to access the storage account. I have also added the whitelists for the Power BI Service and PowerQueryOnline service using both the deprecated list and new json list.
When running the same connection from Power BI Service Dataflows I now get the 'Invalid Credentials' error message. After turning on logging for the storage account and running another successful test it looks like the requests are coming from private IP addresses (10.0.1.6), not any of the public ranges.

I'm at a loss as what to try next, it is a requirement that this storage account not be open to the world. I have read that you can use a On Premise Data Gateway so that you can lock the address range down to that device, but I don't really want to go down that route.
Have you tried to enable a Service endpoint for Azure Storage within the VNet?
The service endpoint routes traffic from the VNet through an optimal path to the Azure Storage service.
Could you also check if you have whitelisted the following links, you will find them in this link:

After speaking with Microsoft Support I have been told
It is not possible to connect Power BI Service with a storage account that has restricted network access enabled.
However, after doing some reading on Azure Data Factory I noticed a statement...
"Services deployed in the same region as the storage account use private IP addresses for communication. Thus, you cannot restrict access to specific Azure services based on their public outbound IP address range."
Therefore I created a storage account in UK West with our Power BI Service in UK South. Looking at logs on the storage account I can now see requests from Power BI coming over a 51.0.0.0/8 range instead of private addresses. By adding 51.0.0.0/8 to the allowed CIDRs, Power BI Service Dataflows can now access the spreadsheets stored in the Datalake.
We have azure analysis services setup that pulls data from ADLS Gen2 (JSON files). When we try to process or model the tables from within SSMS it throws the following error - –
Failed to save modifications to the server. Error returned: 'The
credentials provided for the AzureBlobs source are invalid.
When I open up the storage to all networks then no issues. However I am worried about the security aspect opening up storage account like that.
My Quesiton is : Any pointers to why SSMS would throw such an error?
Tried to create SP as admin on AAS server and added the same SP to storage blob as contributor but no luck.
Add contributor will never help for solve this problem.
As you can see in practice, this has nothing to do with RBAC roles.
The key to the problem lies in the network, you need to set the storage firewall.
You have two ways:
1, Add the outbound ip of the service you are using to the allowed list of storage .
2, Or integrate your service with Azure VNET, and then add this virtual network to the allow list of the storage firewall.
This is all of the ip address of azure service we can get:(You need to add the ip address of the corresponding service to the allowed list about firewall in storage.)

I am trying to copy a file data from Azure Blob storage to Azure SQL DB just for my learning. I cannot able to create the linked service for Azure SQL db destination as it is giving the error. I can able to connect fine from my local SSMS to the Azure SQL server but not from AZURE data factory. I turned on Allow access to Azure services. I am using the default integration runtime (AutoResolveIntegrationRuntime). I also did Add client IP by adding my current IP address to the rule list
Try using an Azure Integration Runtime with the same region as the SQL server. Sometimes the auto resolve cannot reach the sql server.
Hope this helped!
