I was on SQL Cruise where I was scheduled to present a session on Azure SQL Database. I recorded all my demonstrations before we went to sea, but, I planned to attempt to try live demo’s. Yeah, yeah. Well, anyway, I got a unique error when I attempted to connect:
Forced connection closes from remote host
That’s a partial message from the whole error. I don’t have a good screen capture. I wasn’t able to find anything on it through Ging searches, but this week I was at Microsoft for a training course on Azure. I asked the room. The rough answer is (paraphrasing):
The IP address I was attempting to connect from is not is not on the approved list
Interesting. I didn’t realize there were blackout zones. The really interesting thing was, this only occurred when I attempted to connect through SQL Server Management Studio. I was able to connect through the Azure Portal. One more wrinkle in the interesting challenges offered by Azure and the Data Platform.
