Register Resource Failure

Question

For some reason our virtual machines fail the during the registration process? I have tried registering just a single virtual machine and I have tried checking off 5 virtual machines and in each case the result is failure without any explanation as to why. Obviously something is wrong so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated....

Hi Klimon,

In addition to what Manu has suggested, you might want to Verify that you are logged in with an administrator account and that your organization has an active subscription to Windows Azure Online Backup. Then try to to register your server again.

Let me know if that helps!
