Without doing this, you may corrupt the storage database causing untold grief and pain. Open the Microsoft Azure Storage tools console and do the following: Microsoft Azure Storage tools Type azcopy /? for help on AzCopy.

I like Typemock - we should never have to change code to make it testable. Mocking To mock all static methods of a type Isolate.Fake.StaticMethods(typeof(ClassName)); You will have problems sometimes especially if any class has a static constructor. Took me hours to figure out this below is a good idea before making the above call: Isolate.Fake.StaticConstructor(typeof( ClassName )); Isolate.Invoke.StaticConstructor(typeof( ClassName )); >> Do not invoke this if you are going to swap instances which will internally attempt to call this. Isolate.Fake.StaticMethods(typeof(ClassName)); Calling original static method if above is done Isolate.WhenCalled(() =>  ClassName .MethodName()).CallOriginal(); Mock the next instance of a certain type used within a method var mockInstance = Isolate.Swap.NextInstance<ClassName>().WithRecursiveFake(); Isolate.WhenCalled(() =>  mockInstance .MethodName(null)).IgnoreCall(); Changing Behavior Mock public static property

I used the below article: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sambetts/archive/2014/03/17/upgrading-an-existing-sharepoint-2013-farm-to-windows-server-2012-r2.aspx That pointed to this one, which fixed the issue: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sambetts/archive/2014/03/17/sharepoint-health-report-error-the-security-token-service-is-not-available.aspx Just open a regular command prompt, go to the folder and then run the command. Reboot server - all set!

Where you reference the dll, in the Aliases property give an alias using the syntax: global, myalias. Here "myalias" is your alias. In the first line of your C# file, specify: extern alias myalias; Then reference the namespace as: using myalias.yournamespace;
