How enable the disabled network adapter in Microsoft Azure virtual Machine

Once the network adapter is disabled in the Azure virtual machine, it is out of the network, so cannot be connected to the particular machine through the internet. Therefore connecting to the particular virtual machine is disabled since it is out of network. This happens due to the disabling the network adapter in Azure virtual machine.

This is not an issue of Azure, it happens due to the disabling of the network adapter. Even in a Windows PC, when the network adapter is disabled users cant connect to the machine, same thing happens here as well, but the difference is in a Windows PC we can log in and Enable the network adapter but in a Azure virtual machine it is not possible in order to logging to the machine it needs to be available in the network.

To sort this issue up, the administrator of Azure management portal has to follow bellow shown work out.

Step 1 : Administrator has to sign in to the Windows Azure management portal.

Step 2 : Navigate to the portal all virtual machines are listed by using left navigation.





















Step 3 : Select the virtual machine by clicking on it.














Step 4 : Click on the Configure option to navigate to the configuration portal of the particular machine.











Step 5 : Change the size of the virtual machine to something else by using below shown drop down.









Step 6 : Save the changes by clicking the Save button which is available at the bottom.

Now you should be allowed to connect to virtual machine by using remote desktop. After connecting to the virtual machine make sure the done virtual machine size change is reverted back to original size.


Keep sharing the knowledge! :)
