When you try to drop the Site to Site VPN connection from
your data centre to the Azure cloud, it hangs for 30-40 minutes stating
“Disconnecting local site….”. It normally only takes a couple of minutes to
complete.
The disconnect was performed using the Preview Portal. The
only way to force the disconnect is to use PowerShell.
|
Set-AzureVNetGateway –Disconnect –VNetName networkname
–LocalNetworkSiteName sitename
|
You must do this from an Administrative Azure Powershell
prompt. You can authenticate to the tenancy using the;
Get-AzurePublishSettingsFile
and Import-AzurePublishSettingsFile

Datacenter” for 1+ Hour
When you provision a new Windows Server 2012 R2 it hangs at

The following command can be used to force the VM
provisioning to be stopped. The –Force switch de-provisions the VM therefore
the IP’s etc is released.
