Hi @Monika,
I know it's not exactly the same thing, but I just created a new Azure DB in my tenant and could connect ok.
Double check you have the correct credentials (are you using a Windows or Database username/login)
Do you know if Azure has been configured to allow your client to connect via the firewall?
Other than that. my server was something.database.windows.net rather than a microsoft.com address.
If you'd like to pm me screenshots of the connection screens I may be able to help more.
Hi @Monika
Are you just putting Microsoft.com in the servername, or is the servername much longer?
Cheers,
Phil
Thanks for reply Phil!!
Yes. Server name is too long. I am sure it is correct.
Its just interesting that the error is suggesting it thinks the name of the server is just Microsoft.com
It is coming from my oragnaization id.
