Server Failed To Authenticate Request - Azure Image Creation

Question

I've been trying to create the initial image for the AGS on Azure tech preview.

I've downloaded and installed Azure Powershell, I'm running windows 7 with Powershell 3.0.

I have an MS Azure Subscription and I've created the publishsettings file.

I have an ArcGIS Server 10.2.2 installation folder and the provisioning file.

The first errors I got were from line 357 in the agsAzureVMTools.ps1.  The $azModDef variable was looking for Azure.psd1 in this path ....

$azModDef = "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Azure\PowerShell\ServiceManagement\Azure\Azure.psd1"

Yet on my computer, the path to Azure.psd1 was

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Azure\PowerShell\ServiceManagement\Azure\Azure.psd1"

I modified agsAzureVMTools.ps1 to point to the correct path and it got a little further.

Now I am getting this message.

Test-AzureName : ForbiddenError: The server failed to authenticate the
request. Verify that the certificate is valid and is associated with this
subscription.

Has anyone experienced this problem before?

Thanks,

Andrew

Andrew - can u try the following commands in a PowerShell window

Import-AzurePublishSettingsFile <pathToYourFIle>

Select-AzureSubscription -Name 'Visual Studio Premium with MSDN'

Get-AzureStorageAccount 'agsazurestoreage'

Also I would recommend that you rename your Azure subscription.

Here is the log file generated.

I don't know why it can't find the storage account.  I've tried my original storage, and also created a new storage account.
