How to create a new Automation Acount in Azure China - azure

MSDN says going to Azure portal -> New -> Type "Automation" in the search bar and select "Automation" in the drop down list. I successfully created an automation account in my American Azure using this method.
However, when it comes to Azure China, after I typed "Automation" in the search bar, nothing showed up.
It simply told me no results found. I am very confused here, what should I do to create an automation account in Azure China? (I am positive automation is supported in Azure China, I read the official document)

You could try search Automation Accounts or Click More services, sort by name find Automation Accounts.
If it does not work, please ensure you had Registered Microsoft.Automation providers.

Form Recognizer is currently available in West US 2 and West Europe locations only, with regional availability expanding in the near future.

How to add Translator Text service to my Azure account

I have an Azure account and I want to activate the Machine Translation feature on it, which is described here?
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-ca/services/cognitive-services/translator-text-api/
But I can't find that service anywhere in the Azure portal. Does anybody know how to activate that?
Translation is part of what Microsoft calls "Cognitive Services" (Vision, Speech, Language, Search and Decision).
You have two options to activate this: Single-Service or Multi-Service subscription.
Single-Service subscription (only activates one of the services below)
1. Connect to Azure portal
2. Click on "Create a resource"
3. Under "Marketplace", select "AI + Machine Learning"
4. In your case, select "Language"
Multi-Service subscription (activates more than one of the Cognitive services)
1. Connect to Azure portal
2. Click on "Create a resource"
3. Search for "Cognitive Services"

Linking Action Pack MSDN $100 credits to existing Azure Account

Has anyone linked an existing Azure portal account with Action Pack to use $100 credits/month that comes with Action Pack?
I've an action pack and also a separate account which I used for my Azure subscription before buying Action Pack.
This is possible. After some investigation and liaising with MS support this is how I achieved it.
Link the existing azure email to your Action Pack and assign "view product keys" privileges to it.
Go to msppdd.microsoft.com/msppdd and click on "Microsoft Online Services" -> Azure Monthly Credits -> Click the link under Special Instruction on that page -> Click Active Benefits.
Note: If you are facing issues activating through this route then go to portal.azure.com and create a support ticket asking them to link your Action Pack credits with this account. Do mention the Partner ID in the ticket. (This is possible only through backend)
Once done you will be able to see Monthly Partner Network under list of your subscriptions, as shown in image below.

Windows Azure Active Directory remove/transfer tenant domain

I joined to Windows Azure Active Directory beta trial when http://activedirectory.windowsazure.com was initially launched.
At initial process, site forced me to use a new LIVE account instead of the one I already have which is myname#live.com and also controls all my Azure services. Anyway, I did create a new one as myname#mycompany.com
Next, I did be able to create the active directory domain as mycompany#onmicrosoft.com and added my mycompany.com domain as secondary domain.
While ago, Active Directory tab appeared in Azure control panel and it came empty. So I assumed it needs to be link somehow but couldn't find anything about it.
After that, I tried to create a new domain but when I type mycompany into the name field of the create a directory page, it says "This domain is not unique" which is predictable since other live account holds the name.
Tried to delete entire account but didn't work. Also in here says :
"The original contoso.onmicrosoft.com domain name that was provided for your tenant when you signed up cannot be removed from your tenant."
Since I'm the owner of the both account, I would like to move (or re-create etc.) mycompany#onmicrosoft.com under my actual Azure account which is myname#live.com.
Please advise. Thank you!
I didn't realize you had an existing subscription you were looking to work wit. So what you are seeing is expected behavior as there is no subscription associated with your Azure AD account.
We are propping an update this weekend and Monday that will help you here. On Tuesday morning, do the following:
Log into Azure using your Azure AD account.
It will tell you that you have no subscription - set up a 90 day trial subscription - you will not be charged anything for this.
Click onto Active Directory tab in the Azure Portal.
Add a new user - and select to add a user with a Microsoft Account - specify the account that is the administrator of your Windows Azure subscription and make them a "global administrator".
Log off
Log in to Azure portal using the same Microsoft Account that you just added.
Go into Settings.
Click on administrators tab
Select your Azure Subscription
Click "add" in the tray at the bottom
Now add the Azure AD user account you would like to have be a co-admin on your Azure subscription.
That should do it. Now when you log in using your Windows Azure Account you'll be able to administer your Azure subscription.
Just a reminder - try this on Tuesday morning! We will have the update propped by then.
You can make this work though by creating a new 90 trial subscription - you do this on the page where you are being told there are no subscriptions associated with your account.
You need to log into Azure using your myname#mycompany.com account (the Windows Azure Active directory account you created).
To do that, go to the Azure Management portal - if you are already logged in using a Microsoft Account (formerly LiveID) you will need to log-out first - Then the left hand side of the login page you should see a link that says "Office 365 users: Sign in using your organizational account".
Click on that link, and now log into the Azure portal using your Azure AD Account (myname#mycompany.com). Once you do that, you should see your Windows Azure AD tenant in the Active Directory tab in the portal.

How to use other subscriptions to create new web site on Azure

In the new Azure Portal, people who with 3-Month Free Trial subscription can create up to 10 websites.
I create a website using 3-Month Free Trial subscription already. Otherwise I have other subscriptions like Windows Azure MSDN and Pay-As-You-Go, but how can I create new website using these other subscriptions.
I mean, when I try to create new website, there's no way to select subscriptions, and the new website is always under 3-Month Free Trial subscription.
Based on your above description, I am not sure if you have a Paid Windows Azure Subscription.
So what you really need is to get a paid subscription first and that you can get directly from Windows Azure Account section at Portal. Paid subscription means you will have to pay for any other services (i.e. storage, bandwidth etc as applicable) you will use. You will have 10 free websites and will not pay anything if you just use Windows Azure Websites (ONLY) but still pay for Azure storage or anything else.
If you have multiple subscription associated with one single live account and accounts have Preview features enabled then I can see that new Management Portal does not have a way to select specific subscription to create a service. You would need to login to older portal and setup different Live ID for different subscription in "User Management" section and then use that specific Live ID to access specific subscription to create your website. (Note: The preview Portal is still in preview that's why such functionality in not available yet).
The new subscription needs to have the Preview features enabled:
"All you have to do is activate the Web Sites preview on the new subscription by going to Account (View my bill) -> Preview Features: https://account.windowsazure.com/PreviewFeatures "
