Hello
I made a stupid mistake. While looking for an easy way to make a backup of my Azure VM I followed directions to make a snapshot of the VM machine. In AWS (*which I am used to) a snapshot is a quick way to make an easily restorable backup. I guess MS uses a different concept.
During the steps I followed I ran sysprep on the VM. I stopped before I managed to delete the current VM, but it still seemed to delete all my access to that server. BTW, there is an article that walks you through this and gives absolutely NO warning about the repercussions of using sysprep. Some of us are new to azure and that is extremely dangerous.
Right now I am able to run the VM and see the web site, but I have no access via RDP to the machine. The endpoint is there, but it doesn't let me in.
How do I regain access to the running VM?
