Simplifying Hybrid Management with Azure Arc and Windows Admin Center Looking to connect your on-premises Windows servers to Azure? You can seamlessly manage hybrid machines by deploying the Azure Connected Machine Agent using Windows Admin Center. This approach eliminates the need for manual steps outside of the tool, providing a streamlined and user-friendly experience. #AzureArc #HybridCloud #CloudManagement #WindowsAdminCenter #ServerManagement #Azure #Automation #SQLServer #CloudIntegration#AzureArc #HybridCloud #Security #Azure #WindowsAdminCenter #CloudManagement #ServerManagement #CloudSecurity #ITGovernance

As with on-premises physical servers, encountering issues with Azure-hosted Windows Server virtual machines (VMs) is not uncommon. Troubleshooting Azure-hosted VMs mirrors the approach taken in an on-premises setting. This short video will guide you on how to troubleshoot Azure virtual machine deployment issues. #MSLearn #AzureVM #microsoftazure #troubleshooting

Server Refused Our Key 🔑 [#linux #ubuntu] OR Server Refused to Connect 🖥 ❌ A really common and annoying error we often get while connecting to the #ec2 ☁ VMs or servers in our on-prem 🏦 #datacenter while we try to connect with SSH keys 🗝 🗝 . Most of the times, its because of the following 4 reasons: 1. Key Pair Format 2. Permissions [.ssh] 3. authorised_keys missing the public key 4. Ownerships of the wrong user I've tried to replicate the above errors on my VM and fixed them accordingly in our practical lab session 👨💻 here: https://lnkd.in/dsUBNTSr Whenever, you get such error in the future, remember it could be due to any of the above reasons. But if you know any other reasons/fixes for the server refused to connect problems, it'd be great sharing in the comment section 🔤 . #linux #sshkeys #authentication #errors #security #connectivity #devops #devopstraining #lab #ec2 #cloud #awsec2 #vmware #VMs #remote #connectivity #servers

🚀 Connect Hybrid Servers to Azure at Scale with Azure Arc 🌐 Need to manage multiple Windows or Linux machines seamlessly? Azure Arc makes it possible to extend Azure management to your hybrid environment. Here's a quick rundown of the steps to onboard servers at scale: 1.    Create a Service Principal: Use the Azure Portal or PowerShell to generate a Service Principal for authentication during onboarding. 2.    Generate Installation Script: The Azure Portal lets you easily generate a script to install the Azure Arc agent on multiple servers, whether using a public endpoint, proxy, or private link. 3.    Install and Connect: Use the script to install the Connected Machine agent and establish a connection with Azure Arc using the service principal for secure access. 💡 Tip: This method is safer than using high-privilege accounts and adheres to Azure's security best practices. 👉 Get Started: Head to the Azure Portal and follow these simple steps to onboard your hybrid servers! #AzureArc #HybridCloud #Azure #CloudManagement #DevOps #ServerManagement #Automation #ITInfrastructure

Lesson Learned #496:Verifying Network Route to Azure SQL Database via VPN in Windows. Today, I worked on a service request where our customer was using a VPN, but the network routes seemed to indicate it was not working and was using the ISP IP instead of the VPN IP.   I found that can be challenging to verify whether your connection is indeed passing through the VPN or directly via your ISP. In this article, I would like to share my lessons learned to determine which route your connection to Azure SQL Database is taking using PowerShell in Windows.   First, running in PowerShell ping https://lnkd.in/gVxwhsi6 we are going to... #techcommunity #azure #microsoft https://lnkd.in/gFKyd79r
