Comment on Azure Firewall Policy Rules to CSV by Prasant Chettri

1) I was trying to make the write to multiple collection in a nested look which was failing.
2) CSV IP range does require space after comma unlike the firewall rule which works without a space and update on its own

It looks like it may work for single Rule collection as it is building one rule collection and sub rules when I am parsing it.

I have one rule collection group for network.7 rule collection for management, monitor, services etc and rules under each rule collection based on the priority

Export works fine but the import script gives error building table. I added try fetch and it generates error right the foreach ($entry in $RulesfromCSV) when it is reading two sets of tables from excel for rule and rule collection and after that it breaks on all the following.
Has anyone had any luck with import. I am starting with basic network rules that uses IP and IPgroups both?
foreach ($entry in $RulesfromCSV)
{
$RuleParameter = @{
Name = $entry.Name;
protocols = $entry.protocols
SourceAddresses = $entry.SourceAddresses
DestinationAddresses = $entry.DestinationAddresses
SourceIPGroups = $entry.SourceIPGroups
DestinationIPGroups = $entry.DestinationIPGroups
ActionType = $entry.ActionType
DestinationPorts = $entry.DestinationPorts
}
try {
$rule = New-AzFirewallPolicyNetworkRule @RuleParameter -ErrorAction Stop
}
catch {
Write-Host “2 – Error creating rule table based on excel data”
}
$NetworkRuleCollection = @{
RuleCollectionName = $entry.RuleCollectionName
Priority = $entry.RulePriority
ActionType = $entry.ActionType
Rule = $rules += $rule
}
}

Comment on Azure Routing Experiences | Scenario 2 by Pantelis Apostolidis

Pantelis Apostolidis — Tue, 23 Apr 2024 05:54:33 +0000

In reply to leo. Hi Leo, the GatewaySubnet learns all other subnets of its own VNET and all subnets of all peered VNETS and those subnet address spaces are added to the GatewaySubnet system routes automatically. You can check this by viewing the Effective routes of the GatewaySubnet route table. So you need to overwrite those routes with your user routes. To do this you need to add same or more specific routes. The /23 is a larger route than the /24. So the /24 system route will take priority. in short, yes you need to add the specific /24 routes.

Comment on Azure Failover Cluster with Shared Disk – Step by Step by Tony

Tony — Tue, 20 Feb 2024 22:01:53 +0000

Hello,
Thanks a lot for your post!
I just created two Azure Windows 2022 Core and joined them to the domain. I insalled the Cluster Service on both end. The service doesn’t start:
The Cluster service cannot be started. An attempt to read configuration data from the Windows registry failed with error ‘2’. Please use the Failover Cluster Management snap-in to ensure that this machine is a member of a cluster. If you intend to add this machine to an existing cluster use the Add Node Wizard. Alternatively, if this machine has been configured as a member of a cluster, it will be necessary to restore the missing configuration data that is necessary for the Cluster Service to identify that it is a member of a cluster. Perform a System State Restore of this machine in order to restore the configuration data.
In order to continue we need the service to be started on both nodes?
Thanks,
