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):

I am deploying a React app on a virtual machine, windows server 2012, hosted on the IIS server. The website is successfully running on the local server. When I try to access the website through a remote computer, the static components are rendered successfully, but the API doesn't work. The API is written in node.js and installed as a windows service on the windows server with the port number 5000.
I put localhost:5000 as the axios base url in react. But when I try to access from the remote computer, the computer is reading from its own localhost instead of the server's localhost.
Even if I change the axios base url from localhost to the server's ip address, it still cannot read the API properly.
My questions are as follows:
How to make the remote computer reads from the server's localhost without putting the server's ip address?
How to make the local server's windows service accessible to other computers?
What is the best practice to store the API base url in React in production? (store in.env, config, etc...)?
I just solve the issue and I post the answer here for anyone who has the same issue.
Windows
Create a firewall rule (Windows only)
You need to allow other computers to connect through your firewall.
Open the Windows Firewall
Go to “Inbound Rules”
Click “New Rule”
Select “Port” to make a port rule
Under “Specific local ports”, enter 80 and 8000 (for me it's port 5000)
Select “Allow the connection”
Click “next” then choose a name for your rule.

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 trying to connect to my Sql server 2012 which is setup on Azure VM. I am trying to connect it from my local Sql server 2012. I have tried all these steps
http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/virtual-machines-provision-sql-server/
But still not able to connect. I getting this error
Can Some please help me to solve this problem?
Since you're connecting to cloudnet.app domain address I assume you don't use VPN. This means:
- SQL Server authentication should be set to mixed mode
- SQL login should be created or enabled
- In case enabling SA login make sure you set the password
For connectivity part I agree with Jason's suggestions, but I would not disable firewall, since with endpoints facing public internet it is your last line of defense on the VM. Just make sure you have allow rule for the SQL Server port (most likely 1433).
Confirm the following:
You have configured the cloud service port 57500 (from the screenshot) to forward to the port that SQL is configured on, typically 1433.
Turn off the firewall within the VM. Once you get a working connection, I would reconfigure the firewall to only open the port(s) you need for security. The instructions you provided show how to open a specific port, but you should first disable the firewall to rule out a misconfiguration there.
Remote into the VM and ensure that you're able to use the management tools on that machine to make a local connection. This will help rule firewalls and the load balancer for the cloud service.
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.
