# this is a local administrator and user name that is established in the VM Winrm set winrm/config/service set winrm/config/service/auth set winrm/config/client set winrm/config/client to enumerate the information from the service runtime and append the HOSTS file: Setting WinRM on each client (unsecurely, be aware of that): If you secure this, use the endpoint of 5986.

This executes on each server – they are all clones of each other after all.ĭon’t forget to add the Internal Endpoint of 5985 to the Role definition in your service. Last, I append the local HOSTS file adding this information. Then I query the Azure Service Runtime for the role instances and their IP addresses, then through WinRM I touch each server and get its DNSHostName. I then have a wait to give each instance a change to set the WinRM settings. I then run a script to set the WinRM service and client. In my sysprep unattend.xml I first change the PowerShell execution policy. If you need to be secure and tight, then you need to tighten that up. I use HTTP for WinRM, and I reduce the PowerShell script execution security. Through a bit of searching I discovered that WMI is not so fixed and I didn’t want to make it so. So I only have to define one endpoint at the Role level. I am using WinRM and not WMI because it is a single, incoming, well known port. I then turn around and use WinRM to query those instances and get the DNSHostName back from them. In my example I only need to know the machine name of all of the instances of a particular role – so I query that to get the IP addresses. So I have a homegrown solution – I edit the HOSTS file on each server. And that is one piece of information that I cannot query through the Azure Service Runtime. Well, I had a situation where I absolutely needed name resolution. With this going on, name resolution actually doesn’t help me much. Or is someone stops my service and then starts it again, or reimages one of my instances. All that I know is that my worker tier machine will get new names if something happens and an instance gets replaced. Since all of the images are prepared with sysprep they come out of sysprep with new machine names (each provisioned instance needs to be unique, right?). And this is useful for machine to machine communication but not for much else.Īnother hitch is that in Azure machine names change. However you only get IPv6 endpoint addresses back. Connect provides name resolution for the machine that participate in the virtual network. One way to handle this is to use Azure Connect. And although it is not Infrastructure as a Service, if you use a VM Role for some component of a historic enterprise application you do expect familiar features.
SNEAKING AROUND THEME ONE PIECE UPDATE
No need to update the configuration of the application. This move to using machine names provides great flexibility to server administrators to replace boxes at will, simply by editing a DNS entry or renaming the new server to the old server. Over many years enterprise applications have gone through the evolution of moving from IP addresses to relying on WINS to now DNS. This is one of those things that you will most likely run into if you try to run a traditional enterprise application in Azure – there is no name resolution.
