Re: [OT] Azure VM provisioning timed out
Although I can't help you with your problems, I had no problem spinning up a VM and am using it now.

Re: [OT] Azure VM provisioning timed out
Yes, I have. Had no problems, I set up a windows server (forget the version) and stuck IIS on it. Not using it at the moment but had no issues. It was a few months ago so maybe a new issue.

Re: [OT] Azure VM provisioning timed out
Do you guys remember if you went through the web port and made your VMs using the Quick create or the From the gallery options? 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
Re: [OT] Azure VM provisioning timed out
I used the Quick Create method, I did it about 2 months ago. Mine is an extra small instance running Windows Server 2008 R2.
