Hi Greg,
I'm pretty much always done them from the Gallery and it's been fine. What they normally recommend for "issues" is to: Email at iaasfo...@microsoft.com <mailto:iaasfo...@microsoft.com> along with the following info: 1.Your Windows Azure Subscrption Account Live ID 2.This forum URL 3.The Virtual Machine that you are investigating. 4.Date and Time when you started experiencing this problem.

I used the former and ran into strife. I have seen some hints that the latter will work. I'd try the latter as an experiment but my preferred VM name is blocked by the dead VM in storage that I can't delete. Greg
