When I run the following Powershell cmdlet (from the Azure Management Tools Snapin):

get-osversions -subscriptionId **** -certificate (get-item cert:\CurrentUser\MY\******)

I get the following error message:

Get-OSVersions : The remote server returned an unexpected response: (407) Proxy Authenti cation Required. At line:1 char:15 + get-osversions <<<< -subscriptionId * -certificate (get-item cert:\CurrentUser\MY*****) + CategoryInfo : CloseError: (:) [Get-OSVersions], ProtocolException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.Samples.AzureManagementTools.PowerShell.HostedS ervices.GetOSVersionsCommand

Get-OSVersions : Object reference not set to an instance of an object. At line:1 char:15 + get-osversions <<<< -subscriptionId * -certificate (get-item cert:\CurrentUser\MY***) + CategoryInfo : CloseError: (:) [Get-OSVersions], NullReferenceException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.Samples.AzureManagementTools.PowerShell.HostedS ervices.GetOSVersionsCommand

It seems that the internet proxy server here is denying the script the access it requires.

I've had a good look around on the internet and it seems that there is no easy way around this problem since this cmdlet does not have a valid "-credentials" or proxy server parameter.

I know there is a 'Get-Credential' cmdlet but I don't think it helps. How would you pass the credential to the Azure cmdlet?

Can anyone think of any way to get around this issue?..

...other than using a different non-proxied internet connection?

I'm stumped.

Many Thanks for your time.

Easier:

[System.Net.WebRequest]::DefaultWebProxy.Credentials = [System.Net.CredentialCache]::DefaultCredentials
