The Azure Services Management Tools include an MMC SnapIn and Windows PowerShell cmdlets that enable a user to configure and manage several Azure Services including: .NET Access Control Services, and the .NET Workflow Service. These tools can be helpful when developing and testing applications that use Azure Services. For instance, using these tools you can view and change .NET Access Control Rules, and deploy and view workflows.

All of the source code for the MMC snap-in and the PowerShell cmdlets is provided with this sample. You can use and extend the code for your own applications. However, the Azure Services Management Tools is not supported by Microsoft product support.



NOTE: To use these sample tools, you will need to have a .NET Services account. To request an account, please visit http://www.azure.com

Please note that this project is currently out of date. The download has been removed since it will no longer function with the new App Fabric Service Bus. We will evaluate this project and determine the best way to bring it forward in the future. Thanks!
