I have a file share on my azure account and I am trying to use the map network drive function inside of windows explorer to access the share. however, when I enter my credentials, it takes be back and says access denied inside of the credentials windows.
Please help!
Thanks

As Gaurav said, with support for SMB 3.0, file storage now supports encryption and persistent handles from SMB 3.0 clients. Support for encryption means that SMB 3.0 clients can mount a file share from anywhere, including from:
I had reproduce this error, I create a VM(windows 2008 SMB 2.1) in Australia East, and the storage account (file share) in East US. Because the windows 2008 R2 is SMB 2.1 and deploy in different regions:
By the way, if you want to mount the file share on the on-premises client, you have to make sure your firewall allows traffic across port 445 AND your ISP (some ISPs do not open port 445).

How can I make a backup of a virtual machine (<100gb), that is running Windows 2012, hosted in Windows Azure? I have a Remote Desktop access to it. I would like to make this backup to my external HDD.
Uploading all to files to somewhere and downloading them from there would take a week, so I would prefer to find an alternative way.
//// what I did.
1) copied them to desktop of a PC. Was not possible to copy to macOS.
2) hosted some of the files using IIS and downloaded using a browser.
The vhd for the VM is a blob in Azure storage - you can simply download the VHD from Azure storage. For example if the files are on the OS disk you can use:
(Get-AzureRmVM -ResourceGroupName $rgname -Name $vmname).StorageProfile.OsDisk.Vhd.Uri
To get the uri and then use Get-AzureStorageBlobContent to download it. The bottleneck will be your internet connection.

My company is integrating with this company to enable us both consume services built on each other's platform to provide joint services extended to external users.
They recently sent me a file containing their VPN configuration with spaces provided to enter ours as well. Now I am not so savvy about VPNs plus our server is hosted in an Azure VM (windows server 2012 R2). I don't know if our hosting arrangement is VPN-ready by default. How am I supposed to go about this?
Any helpful articles or guidance is a welcome boon at this time.
PS.
My knowledge on networking is next to nothing. Just know the basest of things there.
there are two options to create the VPN to your cloud infrastructure:
1) By external services like OpenVPN - in that case, your involvement into what should be done will be to open some endpoints. Tutorials are available.
2) By internal service called Virtual Network. In that case, you should first place your VM to the Virtual Network, and then use tutorial. As the networking is a big topic, i would propose you to read the official tutorial instead of putting that information here.
So, basically, to get your VM ready for the VPN, you should:
1) Create Virtual Network
2) Place the VM into that VN
3) Configure both cloud and local gateways
4) Install the VPN client.

I have an Azure VM created using MSDN account.
But cannot remote-desktop into it using mstsc.
- Tried 443 port adding on VM
- Choose mstsc > options > settings > RD Gateway server > (entered VM name)
Any hints on how to remote to it?
I generally download the RDP file from the portal. This has worked pretty reliably for me.
Find the RDP endpoint port (public port) in VM settings, and RDP into that. You won't use the gateway address in the RDP client in a normal scenario, that setting is only used if you have an RD gateway server (which I'm willing to bet you don't have). So all you need is the address (cloud service URL) + port.
Or just download the RDP file, which is way easier.

Does anyone know if this is possible? Browsing around on the internet I found out that it had been put on the roadmap but that was quite a way back. Has anyone achieved this? It seems odd that such a big player in the hosting industry doesn't offer this, as AWS does.
Also, I'm talking about reverse dns on virtual machines not the ip addresses of cloud services. I assumed it was something to do on the configuration of the linux machine, since the virtual machines have root access I thought this may have been possible, although struggling to find info on it.
It looks like Reverse DNS feature is planned but I was not able to find more details on any timeline / planned release date.
You can find out more on those features on Provide Reverse DNS for the Azure Virtual Machines as well as reverse DNS lookup proposals on Windows Azure Feature Voting website.
EDIT
As pointed out by #franzo, Windows Azure platform now support reverse DNS records at no additional cost. Reverse DNS support is for all PaaS and IaaS Cloud Services. You can find out more about that feature on Announcing: Reverse DNS for Azure Cloud Services.

I'm a programmer dammit, I should be allowed to ask these kinds of IT questions! :)
Anyway the problem is as follows. I'm writing an automatic build script to deploy code to a live windows 2003 server. To get access to the server I enabled the VPN role, and I can connect to it remotely from my dev machine using a username and password I set up on the server from the network connections screen.
I set up a share on that machine and gave full share+security permissions to the account I am using to connect. Once connected, I would have thought I would be able to see the share. In fact I can't even see the computer even though the VPN is connected (if i type '\IPADDRESS\' into the run box nothing comes up).
Am I missing an essential step here?
So you can use Remote Desktop Connection to connect to the server, but CIFS/SMB (shares) is not working?
Is there a Windows firewall setting that needs to be changed (... I don't even know if there was a 2003 update that included Windows firewall)?
Pinging the IP address results in which error message (or, hopefully none if you can RDC)?
Is the remote server and your local dev box on the same IP subnet? If its not routed properly you may be trying to hit a local address.
It looks to me like you can't connect to a network share from inside the same session that you esatblished the VPN connection in. I now manually open the VPN connection, then kick off the build scripts
