Azure.Storage v 3.0.0 - New-AzureStorageContext: InvalidOperationException using storage account name and key

[markcowl]

Description

When executing New-AzureStorageContext -StorageAccountName <name> -StorageAccountKey <key>

If the user is unauthenticated, the cmdlet will throw an InvalidOperationException like the following:

New-AzureStorageContext : "There is no current context, please log in using Login-AzureRmAccount for Azure Resource Manager or Add-AzureAccount for Azure Service Management."
At line:1 char:9
+ New-AzureStorageContext -StorageAccountName <name> -Sto ...
+         ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : CloseError: (:) [New-AzureStorageContext], InvalidOperationException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Commands.Storage.Common.Cmdlet.NewAzureStorageContext 

You can work around this issue using one of these two methods:

• Add -Endpoint ".core.windows.net" to the cmdlet invocation:

  New-AzureStorageContext -StorageAccountName <name> -StorageAccountKey <key> -Endpoint ".core.windows.net"

• log in to the session as directed by the error, using Add-AzureRmAccount or Add-AzureAccount

The cmdlet should use the default storage endpoint when no endpoint is provided in offline scenarios. This will be fixed in an upcoming hotfix.
