Using the new query tool I was able to connect to the server..
I created a second database using the Portal, but I cannot access it. I see it in the drop down, but i get an error.

Also, w/o the object browser, How do I create a database or logins etc.

Hi Zach, I’m getting below error when I try connecting to azure database. Same error from SSMS2K8, SQLCMD and UDL file

Error:
network-related or instance-specific error has occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server.
Server is not found or not accessible. Check if instance name is correct and if SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections.

Kindly help!

[...] apparently it works on SQL Server Management Studio 2008, with a small workaround. Get the free version here: Mangement Studio Express [...]

I use the syntax checker in SSMS with query running in the SQLMode
I get the syntax error at ‘S’.

BTW I found that IIS7 Database Server is a better and more stable connection UI than SSMS.

@Rick, Did you get this resolved yet? Most of these issues we seen have been using the wrong server name, pass, etc.

@Jayaram, could you provide some more details? This does not look familiar.

Your SQLCMD gives me the error that says there is a syntax error at “-S”.

Would you by any chance know why?

I had success of connecting to SQL Azure with a UDL file as described in my blog:
