I am just starting to build a Kentico site with Windows Azure. Per the instructions in Kentico CMS 6.0 Windows Azure Deployment Guide, I downloaded the Azure SDK before running the Kentico web installer. I installed Azure SDK and ran the Kentico installer without any problems....

Hi, Yes, this happens, e.g. when applying a hotfix. The Azure instance is stateless, so anything that is not part of the package or service configuration could be lost at any time. Best regards, Juraj Ondrus

Hello Vasu, The smart search settings in the CMS are the same. However it depends on the environment and search role setup, please see the Azure guide for more information: devnet.kentico.com/docs/azureguide/configuring_the_application.htm Best Regards, Edward Hill...

Thanks, Josef I'll try those suggestions on the next maintenance build- prepping and getting an Azure build takes a bit of time, but I'll be sure to feed back to you as soon as.. probably within the week? Your help is much appreciated!

I ended up getting it deployed. There was a reference to an old Windows Azure assembly Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Configuration 1.7 that I installed. It was giving me a warning on the build. I am not sure if that was the fix, but it did deploy after that.

Hi, No we don't know about any bug related to this. Could you please confirm that your user name for azure account contains only lowercase letters? Regards, Martin Danko

Hello, please apply the latest hotfix to your Kentico CMS Azure instance. There were some issues with previous versions that are now fixed. You can download it from: http://www.kentico.com/Downloads/HotFix/7_0/Hotfix_7_0_50.exe

Hi, We are planning to migrating our system to Windows Azure. Currently we are using Kentico 4.0. Do we need to upgrade kentico for this migration or we can still continue work with 4.0 version?

Does the import in site manager work? I would imagine that if this works you could specify to import the files. I am not sure about the rules for azure, but this could be an option unless the import is disabled for azure solutions.

Hi, We are using Kentico CMS 4.0 for our application. Can we upgrade to Windows Azure with Kentico CMS 4.0? If yes, do we require any configuration change? A link explaining the changes required would help us. Thank you.
