Hi @Samuelparker,

 

1. Make sure the machine to install data gateway meet the minimum requirements.

2.  Please run the latest on-premise data gateway installer as administrator.

3. Please reboot the machine.

4. Check if the environment has Proxy. Follow this article to troubleshoot: Firewall or Proxy.

Did you solve this?  I'm having the same problem.

Unfortunately not - I’ve asking Microsoft about it and they haven’t gone back to me. It’s stoping me using the azure platform and costing them money.

Hi @Samuelparker@mhambalek,

 

I have sent the collected log to senior engineers to investigate this issue. Will let you know when I get the information.

Hi all,

 

Please try the latest on-premise data gateway( https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=53127&751be11f-ede8-5a0c-058c-2ee190a24fa6=... ). If issue persists, please share the on-premise data gateway log files and event log with us.

I got it fixed after installing it on a non-domain PC and opening the relevant ports on the firewall.  Problem solved.
