Azure Resource Management: Switch-AzureMode is not recognized

For all of you working in Visual Studio with the Azure Resource Management (ARM) templates: When you get the PowerShell exception that the cmdlet Switch-AzureMode cannot be found, please take note of the following:

  • 23 November: Microsoft released Azure PowerShell 1.0 and deprecated / removed the former ARM Switch-AzureMode completely. Based on clear feedback this stateful model was absolutely not desired: https://azure.microsoft.com/nl-nl/blog/azps-1-0/
  • 30 November: Microsoft released Azure SDK 2.8. This incorporates new ARM templates for Visual Studio, based on the new ARM cmdlets. You can download the SDK over here: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/downloads/archive-net-downloads/
  • 30 November: Microsoft released Visual Studio 2015 update 1. This does not update Azure SDK. You will need to update the SDK yourself.

So bottom-line, don’t mix Azure PowerShell 1.0 with the former versions of Azure SDK pre 2.8.

Enjoy working with the ARM toolset! If you are looking for a tutorial, I recommend the following walkthrough: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/vs-azure-tools-resource-groups-deployment-projects-create-deploy/

Exploring advanced DOM interop with Blazor WebAssembly

Afbeelding
With the establishment of WebAssembly in the browser space, JavaScript is not the only option anymore to run code in the browser. You can start building your modern web applications in any language of choice. Recently Microsoft has released the first version of Blazor WebAssembly. It enables you as a .NET developer to run .NET code through WebAssembly. Blazor also comes with a websocket based server model. You can check out Blazor on Microsoft Docs: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/blazor I have been building a couple of Blazor experiments myself, of which the following two stand out: Real-time Blazor server web app. I have added a second SignalR hub to this app in order to communicate signals from one Blazor session to another.

Azure Custom Role Definitions and Assignment Scopes

Afbeelding
Working with custom Role Definitions in Azure can be a funny thing. Interestingly, when reviewing the Azure Active Directory user interface in Azure Portal you will not find a way to query all available role definitions. If you query the Roles and Administrators view you will only see administrator roles: With a PowerShell cmdlet you are able to list all. Get-AzRoleDefinition | select name | sort name | ft results in something like the following: Name ---- AcrDelete AcrImageSigner AcrPull AcrPush AcrQuarantineReader AcrQuarantineWriter API Management Service Contributor API Management Service Operator Role API Management Service Reader Role App Configuration Data Owner ... But are these really all the role definitions out there? Obviously not! This list is scoped to the subscription you are currently targeting with your current Azure Context. In order for you to try out yourself, just create a couple of role definitions with various assignment scopes. Assuming you have owne

Troubleshooting restoring a site collection

The following applies to SharePoint 2013 RTM and potentially to SharePoint 2010, but was not tested. Ever tried to backup and restore a site collection with PowerShell using a least privilege SPRestore account approach and bumped into some fatal errors? As a starter you should have followed the instructions that are documented on TechNet: Restore site collections in SharePoint 2013 http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee748655.aspx Apparently this documention is not completely sufficient, as you bumped in some fatal errors and are seeking for help. In this blog I would like to discuss two error messages and show you how to address them. Error 1: access denied In PowerShell: 02/26/2013 15:38:27.95 PowerShell.exe (0x2B28) 0x2B78 SharePoint Foundation General ai1wu Medium System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access is denied.
