Errors occurring on all commands

[CMircea]

Executing any command results in this generic error message:

An error occurred while sending the request.

This can happen if you have no Internet connection, or a poor Internet connection. I agree that the message is very confusing. Can you verify that DNS is working okay, and you can access the Azure Service Management REST API via different means (eg. simply using Invoke-WebRequest)? You don't necessarily need to make a successful / authenticated API call, but make sure you at least receive a valid error from the service.

Hello,

Yes, I was able to access the service management API. In fact, the Azure intergration in VS was working fine, just PowerShell was failing. What's more, it appears to have fixed itself a week ago :/

@CMircea Closing this for now. If you or @pcgeek86 see it again, please re-open and we'll have you grab some log data to see if we can identify the problem.
