I'm pretty new to Hyper-V so go easy on me if this is an obvious question. I would like to access my host machine's IIS through a Hyper-V VM so that I can view webpages I'm creating in Visual Studio within my VM. I have enabled the network switch to share internet connection however I'm unsure as to how I can allow IIS through to my VM. Is this simply a firewall/port issue or is there a more advanced solution needed?
Since you already have a switch attached to the VM, I don't see anything that is required to be done on the VM, but I would ping the host from VM and make sure that works.
If you are running the website just out of Visual Studio, which would inturn be running IIS Express and not the IIS on the host, you should follow the instructions here to configure IIS express and host to accept requests from non local addresses: http://johan.driessen.se/posts/Accessing-an-IIS-Express-site-from-a-remote-computer.

I am completely new to this challenge. The scenario is :
I have create two virtual machines on Microsoft Azure. First VM is Windows Server 2012 R2 and second VM is Windows 8.1
I have configured a domain controller on Windows Server. I want to connect to server from windows 8.1
I have attempted following:
In the browser of windows 8.1 - http://dc/connect
but it shows error as:
`This page can’t be displayed
•Make sure the web address http://dc is correct.
•Look for the page with your search engine.
•Refresh the page in a few minutes.`
Also I tried changing domain of windows 8.1 machine. but it is not allowing me
There's nothing preventing you from connecting to a Windows Server machine from Windows 8.1 in Azure. What probably you did wrong is the network configuration. Both VMs must be in the same virtual network. When you create a new VM, you have to choose "From Gallery" to be able to select the VNet you will deploy it to. Once both machines are in the same VNet you will be able to ping the private address, join domain, access network file shares, etc.
Deploy using "Quick Create" only if you want to quick test something solo. At this point, if you really didn't setup the network configuration properly you will have to redeploy. Just delete the Windows 8 VM (without deleting the VHD) and after a while the machine disk should appear on the vm creation wizard under "My disks". Just recreate the VM using the original settings and making sure the VNet for both VMs are the same.
Virtual Network Overview

Do remote desktop connection ,in your search tab type remote desktop connection and set your domain and user name. than connect it.
I developed a web app, published it to the File System and try to setup the IIS to make it available to a Virtual Machine with XP and a IE8.
Everything is fine in my computer, I can see the website, but from the VM I can't and it's because the setting "Enable remote connections" in the management tab in the Site in the IIS is not checked.
The problem is that option (view image)Manage does not appear under my Site in the IIS.
I already added all the features related with this but nothing works.
It is a asp.net application.
Any guesses?
Thanks
Solved it,
The Network Address Translation option they give in the setting will work.
Just need to access the address that both machines are using for the bridge, so you will have to go to look at the network configuration
I can't seem to be able to deploy a site to a windows server 2012 r2 running IIS and Web Deploy in Azure VM. I have verified that the port is open, the credentials are correct and the site name as well. I tried using http: and https: also tried using msdeploy.axd end point and the MSDEPLOYAGENTSERVICE one nothing. Check is the services are running and if I can connect to the machine which at can on port 80 to the default site. Tried connecting from multiple connections I get the same result...
Could not connect to the remote computer ("<computer name>.cloudapp.net"). On the remote computer make sure that Web Deploy is installed and that the required process ("Web Deployment Agent Service") is started. Learn more at: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=221672#ERROR_DESTINATION_NOT_REACHABLE. Unable to connect to the remote server.
After dealing with this for about an hour now, I figured out how to fix this on my Azure Virtual Machine.
First the obvious
Check that port 8172 (if you're using default settings) is open in your firewall
Check that the processes MsDepSvc and WMSVC are running.
Check that the site name is correct.
Management Service
In ISS, at the root level of the server, check your settings under Management Service.
It should have Enable Remote Connections checked:
Did you download the full package
This was the one that got me, I hadn't installed everything.
On the bottom of the WebDeploy page: http://www.iis.net/downloads/microsoft/web-deploy
You can download the full package, and then just install everything.
You don't mention if you have an endpoint configured for your Azure VM. If not, make sure you create an endpoint with a private port of 8172.
EDIT: Here is a troubleshooting guide for web deploy that includes the error message you've encountered. Additionally, from my own experience I have managed to mistype the site name and not install .NET and seeing similar errors.
Helpful but in the end in our case it was TLS mismatch. Check both machines can do TLS 1.2 if you are forcing it. Have put more detail here https://fuseit.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000328595. Cheers
I am new to the Azure platform so hopefully this is an easy question:
I am currently setting up a Sharepoint web farm through Azure. My current architecture looks like this:
A WIN2008 VM serving as my Domain Controller. I have the domain setup and AD running
A WIN2008 VM SQL2012 serving as my db server
A WIN2008 VM serving as my sharepoint web server.
All of the VMs belong to the domain.
I have sharepoint up and running on the sharepoint web server and I can access the sharepoint sites using //localhost. However, I cannot access the sites from an external computer (port 80). I cannot ping it with the IP Address or the *.cloudapp.net address. I have already ensured the firewall ports for 80 are open for all profiles. I have also setup an endpoint for port 80 on the sharepoint VM.
Any thoughts? I appreciate your help in advance.
To elaborate on the endpoint reference above:
There is a configuration page in the Azure portal that you need to check out to ensure that the proper ports are open AS WELL AS the ones on the Endpoints page for your windows VM. I assume the same would apply for other hosted OS VMs like Linux, etc.
When I came across the Endpoints tab for the VM in question on the Azure portal I noticed that there were RDP and PowerShell ports listed but no HTTP. After adding that I found that I could hit my IIS server on the VM. In a nutshell its like there are two firewalls, the one on your server and one on the Azure portal.
I believe that Azure will block ping requests

Looks like you have an answer, but of note is that you have to set up endpoints for anything that you want to hit.
Ok i have successfully created a VM Server 2008 on Azure and installed the TFS 2012 express.
I try to access it via visual studio, web interface but i can't.
Port 8080 at the VM's firewall is open for public, however the port appears closed through a port scan.
Any suggestions ?
Note: I know about https://tfspreview.com/ however i would like to setup my own on my own VM :)
Opening the right ports on the firewall is a good start. But you need to let Windows Azure which ports should be opened externally and forwarded to your VM (also supports load balancing).
In order to make port 8080 externally accessible you'll need to go to your VM in the portal, go to the endpoints tab and add an endpoint here (make sure it maps to private port 8080):
