    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.
