Trying to connect an Azure Enterprise subscription to Visual Studio - visual-studio

I'm simply trying to add my Azure Enterprise subscription to Visual Studio 2015 Enterprise. I go into Cloud Explorer, Add an Account, input my corporate email address and the box simply goes away.
Here's a quick screencast: http://www.screencast.com/t/DcKWQjIqn
Can anyone assist?

maybe try to download your publish profile from below link
https://manage.windowsazure.com/publishsettings
when you want to publish your app to Azure, instead of login. import the profile file

Build Controller failing to start on TFS 2013 "Service cannot be started. The handle is invalid”

After cloning a 2010 TFS server, upgrading the clone's OS to 2012R2, upgrading SQL Server to 2012 SP2 (11.0.5343), uninstalling TFS 2010, and upgrading to TFS 2013 with update 5, we are running into issues starting the Build Service on the clone.
I've removed the agents and build controllers referencing the other original server through Manage Build Controllers, in Visual Studio 2013.
I've tried to use the TFS 2013 upgrade wizard and it fails when attempting to start the build service so I tried to unconfigure: "tfsconfig.exe setup /uninstall:TeamBuild" and reconfigure through the TFS 2013 upgrade wizard but it yielded the same result.
The TFS database server, Build Server, controller, and agent are located on the same box
For measure, I've even deleted the agents, controllers, and Unregistered and Registered the Build Service in the Team Foundation Server Administration Console as both the batch account used on the original server but that failed so to rule out authentication, I used my domain account (I'm a Local Admin, SQL Server Admin, and TFS Admin) but still had the same result with both accounts.
The Windows event log states “Service cannot be started. The handle is invalid”.
I'm not sure what else could be missed does anyone have any pointers?
There were over 100 Microsoft patches/updates applied over the weekend and the issue went away. Microsoft confirmed that the issue was related to the OS, not the TFS configuration or installation/upgrade.
Thanks for all your suggestions. Hopefully this will help someone else out if they are in the same situation and spinning wheels to find the answer. Keep your systems as up to date as possible!
Try to remove build service by going to Team Foundation Server Administration Console, select server name, and click Remove Feature, to remove build service feature, then re-configure it.

"Microsoft Azure App Service" target not appearing in visual studio 2015 while clicking on Publish

I am trying to run the Xamarin.Android app from Microsoft Azure Guides.
According to the guide I am supposed to right-click on the Service project and Rebuild, after that on clicking Publish I get the Publish Target window but there is no target of Azure App Service. I only get Target of Azure Web Apps
Updating the Azure SDK was the solution for me. The following page has all the downloads, select your visual studio version to the left
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/downloads/
VS2015 Direct link: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=518003&clcid=0x409
I'm assuming the project to which you refer is the "QuickStart" server-side project that is downloaded and named yoursite-Runtime.zip. When unpacked, you get a folder yoursite_AppService and yoursite.sln in the file.
When you right-click and select Publish, you should see the following picture as the pop-up:
If this is not the case, then there is something at issue with your install of Visual Studio 2015 - perhaps an additional plugin or an older version of Azure SDK? Try updating the Azure SDK as a starting point.

Azure Mobile App Not Available Among Existing Apps

Back in March 2015, Microsoft announced that "Azure Mobile Apps" are replacing "Azure Mobile Services." A few days ago, I spotted the documentation explaining how to create an Azure Mobile App. I followed the doc and successfully got my "TestDroid" mobile app service running locally. However, I cannot publish the app to Azure from Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition.
To publish my "TestDroid" app, I right-clicked on the project and selected "publish."
This dialogue is already the "first sign of trouble." Technically my Mobile App service does not match any of the categories shown in the above dialogue. Still, because Web Apps and Mobile Services have been merged into one, the best choice is "Microsoft Azure Web Apps." So that is the choice I made...
Unfortunately, Visual Studio 2015 CE does not show my already-provisioned "TestDroid" app as an option:
However, I know that it exists because I created it a day earlier, per the instructions, and it does appear in a resource group blade on the Azure portal:
Also, in the Visual Studio "Server Explorer" I can see the "TestDroid" service:
The Server Explorer entry for "Mobile Services" is empty, but in this case I expect it to be empty because, as already stated, creating a "Mobile Service" is now considered the old way, and creating a "Mobile App" is the new way.
I'm guessing this is merely a glitch in preview material, but I would like to know how to resolve this.
I got this working. In the end I simply visited the Azure blade for my "TestDroid" mobile app, and selected "get publish profile". I used the "import" option on the VS 2015 publish dialogue to import the publish profile.
The original MS instructions did not mention that this slightly-round-about approach was necessary, so I did not assume at first to try it.
All is well that ends well. :)

Visual Studio Online Access

Visual Studio Online is available in Azure for creating Team Projects on cloud. Now what i have a doubt is if we can restrict the access of VSO from just corporate network or not? If yes how can we achieve that? Can anyone provide links or steps to configure it? Can Azure Active Directory help in this case?
For eg: There is XYZ Company that wants its developers to work with VSO only while they are on premise of the office. When they go home or outside corporate's network he/she must not be able to access or make changes in VSO.
Any help will be appreciated.!!
I think you can do it via using Azure Active Directory.
As we know that Azure AD can be integrated with an existing Windows Server Active Directory, giving organizations the ability to leverage their existing on-premises identity. Please check:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/ad/archive/2014/08/04/connecting-ad-and-azure-ad-only-4-clicks-with-azure-ad-connect.aspx
If the Visual Studio Online account is connected to an active directory, only users in that directory can get access to your account.
Please check the following two links for the details:

Can't sign in to Azure to publish with Visual Studio 2013

I'm trying to test Azure by publishing a basic web app. After signing in to Azure from Visual Studio, I'm met with the following message:
Sorry but we didn't find any Windows Azure subscriptions associated with your account.
You can sign in with a different account or sign up for a Windows Azure subscription.
I use Windows 8 with an attached ecu account, and have signed up to a trial Azure account under the same credentials (which I can log in to normally fine).
Results[1] from a similar problem suggest the accounts are mixed up, and to contact an admin with the ticketing system to rectify[2]. However selecting "Having issues with sign in or signing up for an account?" links me to a page, which quickly redirects me to another broken page and I am unable to proceed.
What is the best course in action in either:
publishing the app to Azure
contacting Microsoft about fixing my trial Azure account
Thank you

Found the answer on social.technet.microsoft.com
I found this article first, so I hope this helps others that find this before the MS article.

I know this is an old thread, but I was recently having a problem with visual studio 2015 where I could not sign in to Azure. I came across this SO entry. It was not helpful, but I eventually did find the answer.
The answer was to repair Visual Studio. It takes awhile to run but once it finished I was back in business with Azure in Visual Studio.
