SQL Data Sync Agent 2.0 install error system services - azure

I am trying to install SQL Data Sync Agent 2.0 but I got this install error
I am running virtual machines with Hyper-V.
I tried in a windows server 2016 and a windows 10. Up to date.
I added the account to log as a windows service.
What could be the issue?
Thanks

I have fixed this issue by adding Computer-name in front of the Username.
Make sure the following,
Username and password are correct.
Prefix the computer name along with the username (Eg: MYPC\user).
You can find the computer name on This PC's properties.

This error occurs in two situations:
User name and/or password are incorrect. Do not use the Windows Live login to install the agent use (create) a local Windows account to install the agent.
The specified user account does not have sufficient privileges to logon as a service, but you told us you did this already. Anyway please verify the following steps:
To Grant logon-as-a-service credentials to the user account please do the following steps:
Navigate to Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Local Security Policy > Local Policy > User Rights Management.
Find and click the Logon as a service entry.
Add the user account in the Logon as a service Properties dialog.
Click Apply then OK.
Close the windows.
Some more suggestions:
Install the client agent using the least privilege account with network service access.
It is best if the client agent is installed on a computer separate from your on premises SQL Server computer.

F30063: You are not authorized to access issue in Azure Dev

I have an Windows agent in my server. When i run it as Administrator manually its connecting successfully. But when i added it into Task scheduler to start automatically(restart server) its getting this error
TF30063: You are not authorized to access https://dev.azure.com/my-projects
My windows scheduled task added it to Run with highest privileges. But its getting same issue.
To resolve this issue I have two methods/steps.
Step 1 is to clear the credential from credential manager:
Go to Control Panel (with small icon view)-->User Accounts-->Manage your credentials (on the left column)-->Select Windows Credentials-->Scroll down to the Generic Credentials section and look for your TFS server connection.
Step 2 is to click on the operation that Connects to the Team Projects which is the button/plug icon in the Team Explorer tab. Then to also right click the project you are getting this issue on and select Connect:

TF400998 error attempting to restore TFS databases from one server to another

I am attempting to move TFS from SERVERA to SERVERB. I am using this MSDN article as my main resource for accomplishing this. I have installed SQL Server (same version) on SERVERB. I have backed up the SERVERA TFS databases. I installed TFS but did not configure on SERVERB. On SERVERB, I used the TFS admin console and clicked restore databases and navigated to the network location of my backup. After selecting the backup set there are a few more screens to go past but eventually I get the below error during the readiness check. I am logged in as a domain user who has local administrator rights (in the local administrators group). I believe that if I can solve the TF400998 error the other errors (TF246017) may go away as well. The error refers to "The current user". If that means my domain user, then what exactly is the restore looking for?
Edit: I will rephrase my question. Since my domain account is a powerful user on the system, what permission might be missing? Also, this account has the sysadmin server role in SQL server.
You can try to use NT AUTHORITY\NETWORKSERVICE as SQL Server service account and have a try. Also see the below threads to solve the issue:
TFS 2010 Backup fails with "The current username failed to retrieve MSSQL Server service account. "

Azure Remote Desktop - Access Denied

I'm currently facing an Access Denied error while connecting to an Azure VM. This VM is registered in an Active Directry. When I log with the AD credentials, I get an "Access Denied" error message with a "Ok" button without any other text on the screen. I never faced this issue before. The maching was working perfectly last week...
Do you have any idea about this issue ?
Thanks for your help
Access Denied Error Screenshot
Can you still access the VM and its using your Azure Portal login? If so, try adding the AD user via RDP.
Go to Computer Mgmt on the VM via Remote Desktop
Expand the list of Remote Desktop Users.
Select the user(s) to add.
See details in the MSDN thread:
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/9ebce1bb-2aa0-4bb0-adc7-d1e229c5ee9e/add-user-to-remote-desktop-group-in-azure-vm?forum=WAVirtualMachinesforWindows
If you're having RDP issues with the primary user account, check the Settings blade of your VM in the Azure Portal, and look at the Users list under Resource Management.
Hope that helps!
I had the same issue, in my case it was related to Terminal Service Licensing.
First save a local copy of the RDP file from the portal and run this command at a PowerShell command prompt to connect. This will disable licensing for just that connection:
mstsc <File name>.RDP /admin
after you are able to connect then open the Event Viewer an look for an Event with ID 4105 in WIndows Logs > System. this event should appear every time a logging was attempted.
If that is the case, follow this steps to solve the issue
Event ID 4105 — Terminal Services Per User Client Access License Tracking and Reporting
Hope this helps.

How to install vNext build agent on CentOS (Linux)?

Ive been trying to use Visual Studio Online's new build definitions with linux. I set up an Azure VM running CentOS 7.1 installed Nodejs (v0.10.36) and npm (v3.3.9) the prerequisites for the vNext build agent.
when running the vsoagent.js file to set up the agent and filling in the fields, i am able to connect to my VSO account successfully but the build agent doesnt start.
following is the console output i get:
Console output
Im getting a bad request (400) error, why is this occuring and how do i fix it?
You need to set some permissions before you can add and run a new agent. First, you need to enable alternate credentials for your account. Log in to VSO using your account and open your profile settings.
Then, go to the “Credentials” tab and enable your alternate credentials there.
After that, go back to the “Agent pools” administration page, go to Roles tab, there are two security groups there. You’ll need to add your account to both.
•Agent Pool Administrators: allows adding agent to pool
•Agent Pool Service Accounts: allows the agent to listen to the build queue
When you create the server, you'll need to login using the credentials you provided when creating the virtual machine. More steps of creating a Build.vNext agent on Linux, please check http://realalm.com/2015/06/26/creating-a-build-vnext-agent-on-linux/
From the screenshot you provided, you got bad request with the URL.
And the server URL you need to provide should be something like: https://servername.visualstudio.com

Login as Administrator on Azure Virtual Machine

I'm trying to install a certain software on an Azure Virtual Machine, however it fails indicating that I don't have Administration privileges, even though I chooose the "Run as administrator" option. How can I login as an Administrator on an Azure Virtual Machine? Thanks
https://serverfault.com/questions/111650/how-can-i-find-out-what-ad-groups-im-a-member-of
The above link will tell you what groups you belong to as the user in the system.
If you are running as the default user setup for the azure VM then you will be the Administrator on the machine. If have been granted access by another user to the box, just ask them to upgrade your rights.
You should also see if in the event log there is an permissions error for the install of the software or any other error to suggest why your software cannot be installed. Maybe a misleading error.
I would also contact the application provider and check that they support the Azure environment.
hths, good luck.
