But when I take the next step of Enable-StorageBusCache, the script invokes the New-StorageBusCacheStore cmdlet producing an exception when calling "CreateSsdCacheStore" leading to generic failure. I assume that this failure leads to the proceeding failures on down the line.

This sucks and I have no idea what to do about it. I checked out the MSscript quote in the error codes, but it's well above my pay grade. Anyone know what this is all about? 

 

EDIT: Sorry the formatting above is a mess. I don't know why it's not interpreting line breaks properly. :\
