So, finally I decided to jump into the Azure bandwagon and create my own portal. At the moment, my apps are hosted on Google Apps and I'm considering moving them to Azure and O365 before which I wanted to trial and get the taste of MS Azure.
I signed up for a trial subscription and my management URL ended up something like https://manage.windowsazure.com/#MynameMydomainname.onmicrosoft.com. So I decided to delete this account and set up a new account altogether trying to sign up with a new domain alias. And now it is https://manage.windowsazure.com/#MyaliasMydomainname.onmicrosoft.com. MS Support would't help and would want me to sign up for O365 which I don't want to at the moment.
Why my management portal always has my complete e-mail address and how do I edit it?
Edit: Thought would add the following example to explain my problem a bit easier.
My name is Muthu and I already have an e-mail address Muthu#Contoso.com and now I attempt to set-up my Azure around it. I sign up for a Microsoft account with the e-mail address Muthu#Contoso.com, provide my card details and successfully set up the account. Now, the logon URL looks like https://manage.windowsazure.com/#MuthuContoso.onmicrosoft.com and the default directory has the UPN of #muthucontoso.onmicrosoft.com.
I set up an account for a user Eddie, George and Mark and their UPN appears as follows:
Eddie#muthucontoso.onmicrosoft.com
George#muthucontoso.onmicrosoft.com and
Mark#muthucontoso.onmicrosoft.com.
How do I get rid of my name from the domain name here?
P.S.: I managed to get rid of my name from the Management portal URL by simply verifying my ownership of contoso.com using O365 control panel but still couldn't get around to rename the default directory. I can't force my name for the users in my organization just because I signed up for it. There should be some way around. Kindly help.
When loging in you're actually signing in to an aad tenant.. Which is bound to a subscription... As you can have multiple subscriptions and tenants they need to show you where you are

Do you know if there is a way to disable the only verified custom domains usage when new create a new Azure Active Directory user.For example i want to create a user that is using gmail. I have tried to add gmail as custom domain and verify it, but noticed that the steps are related to the dns records of the domain so i cannot do this. I know i can use the invitation service, but i want to directly to create the user without invitation. So did someone experienced this, and if soo i am open for advices.
Have a nice day and stay safe.
It is not possible to create a user in Azure Active Directory that is using Gmail. In order to create a user in Azure Active Directory you need to add your domain and verify in Azure Portal.
You need to get your domain name by Go daddy etc... then you need to add in Azure Active directory and verify it. After that you can create a user name under that domain.
I recommend you to go through this two documents to get more detailed information.
I am using my work email address to set up multiple Azure IaaS environments. When I log into Azure, I get asked if I want to use the "Work or School Account" or "Personal Account" - both referring to the same email address.
I don't recall setting up anything in terms of personal accounts, or linking my work email as a Microsoft Outlook.com/Hotmail/etc account.
Access to the subscription has been applied to my Personal account, not the work one.
When granting access, there's no way to pick which one you're giving access to.
Couple of questions
I've created some VMs but want them to be linked to my work account. Can I change this?
How do I unlink my work email from Personal. I want to use work just for work, and not have any confusion between the two.
See this screengrab for more information:
There are few problem with your account so lets go over them one by one.
First means that now you have 2 different accounts one it is your work account another one it is your microsoft account. You can create both of them with the same email since they are from 2 different tenants.
This is a concept important or you to understand there is something on Azure that it is over the subscription that is the tenant
Tenant
|- Subscription
|- Resource Group
|- Resource
All subscription under the same tenant have the same Authentication method, this Authentication method can be linked to an Azure Active Directory ( Office 365 subscriptions are Azure Active Directory ) So you can open a request to microsoft to transfer your subscription to your company tenant. if you do this all the resources under it will be transferred to your other authentication. You can open this ticket on the portal.
If you don't want your personal account anymore you can close it on https://account.live.com/closeaccount.aspx
Thanks to those who edited the question for me, my line-breaks didn't work by default, I'll ensure that I get it write next time. I was only allowed to post the image as an attachment being first-time poster, someone fixed that for me.
The answer from Gabriel Monteiro Nepomuceno was correct and touched on the root cause, but there's one element I didn't include in my question.
Regarding the tenant: the tenant is created under the company account of "company.com". I am a sub-contractor and was granted access to my own account at "benscompany.com". Azure support have advised that its only possible to grant access to different account via the personal account.
I initially created a trial account. Discovered that was incorrect then created a developer account. Everything seemed good until I timed out and tried signing back in. The new password used to create the developer account was no longer valid. DocuSign had reverted my account login back to the original trial account. This has happened every time I created a Developer account. I am currently up to my 12th dev account creation. Verifying every time. At least all the fields are prepopulated so I don't have to type everything.
How do I prevent DocuSign account management from reverting my Developer account back to a Trial account? I contacted their support directly but they didn't know and suggested I ask here.
Make sure that you are logging on to demo.docusign.net and that you are going to the following page to set up your dev account. Create Dev Account
When you first login to your account make sure the url is demo.docusign.net. Demo accounts are on a completely separate server system than the production system.
Support should also be able to look up your account information by e-mail to see where your accounts are located and what the status of them are. If you have an enterprise account, I would make sure to have your enterprise account number when you call in. This will put you with the enterprise support group, which typically handles these issues more frequently.
I have two businesses and each has an Azure subscription. I'm an admin for each using my same MS email account.
Bill is only involved in one of the subscriptions, but when I log into my subscription "Local Happenings" (to which Bill should have no access) I still see his email address in the URL.
This picture shows it better:
https://db.tt/kvuccFOO
I'm wondering why this is, and if it could potentially be a problem.
My fear is that if he decides to cancel his business's account, then he will cancel mine or something.
I tried again to create a new subscription to verify I wasn't already logged into his subscription (I used a different browser), but it still shows his email address in the URL.
Anyone have any ideas?
UPDATE 1:
https://db.tt/QHJrfIno
I see that my subscription is under his "default directory". I never selected this when creating my subscription. How do I change this, and is it the culprit?
What shows under the "Active Directory" tab in the management portal for each Subscription? When you say "MS email account" is that an old hotmail-type account or one registered via Office 365 or Azure?
The fact that the account showing in the URL has #XXX.onmicrosoft.com address suggests there is a link back to an Azure Active Directory (AAD) instance. If this is shared between the subscriptions (potentially as a login from it was used to create on of the subscriptions) then this would be the cause.
You need to make sure a non-AAD account is an admin on the subscription so that removal of an associated Azure AD instance will not orphan the subscription.
Have a read of the AAD documentation here for more information: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/azure/dn629581.aspx
I have a v-xxxxx.microsoft.com ID through which i have created a account in microsoft Azure 90 days free trial account.
I am not able to login microsoft axure portal through v-xxxxx.microsoft.com ID. It is showing me error as "Sorry, we can't sign you in here with your #MICROSOFT.COM account."
Please can someone help here ?
Thanks
There are couple of things you can try as below:
Use In-Private Browsing with IE9/10 and see if you can enter your credentials
With #1 try to use the URL redirecting to domain ID
https://manage.windowsazure.com/?whr=microsoft.com
If you have other live account already included as co-admin or service administrator with your Azure Subscription please use that live account instead.
Finally if none of above option work, it is possible that your problem is related with lingering ordid issue. What you can do is contact Microsoft Support directly and ask them to route your issue to Windows Azure Support. This is only specific to Windows Azure Portal login issues.
Create a new account with an other email address. You can have a free trial per email address.
