Read Only Access to Azure Storage Account Blob Containers via Azure CLI?
Hi, is it currently possible to to provide read only access to Azure Storage Account blob containers via Azure CLI? It appears that once you connect to Azure via Azure CLI, it is just using the Storage Account's access key for all operations against the container, regardless of the RBAC rights associated with the SP I connect with.
Access denied on FileShare using access keys
Hi Hi! I created and Azure Storage account and a Fileshare in it. I have 2 VM's running Windows Server 2016 and both are in the same Region. On VM1 i can connect to the fileshare using the Storage account username and access keys with the New-PSDrive command without any problems On VM2 i get "access denied" when trying to connect to the fileshare the same way with the storage account username and access keys, anyone know why this would happen? i execute the exact same New-PSDrive on both servers. Error from PowerShell: PS C:\temp> .\MountBackup.ps1 CMDKEY: Credential added successfully.

VHD to Archive Storage
I have a disk with some files (About 1 TB) that will probably never be needed. However they might be needed so I have to keep them somewhere. I thought that the archive storage tier would be the perfect place. My plan was to detach the VHD from the VM and change the storage tier from hot to archive. If I ever needed the data again I would change from archive back to hot and attach the VHD to a VM. However, after detaching the disk, when I tried to change the tier I got the message "Changing the access tier is only allowed on block blobs that do not have snapshots in an active state." I then realized that the VHD is a page blob and it appears you can't change the tier on a page blob. I can't be the only one who wants to archive a drive (Or an entire VM) so I suspect I am missing a simple solution. Any ideas?Microsoft Azure Master Program
