Today I tried to do a restore of database to an Azure DB in a Dynamics 365 for Operations environment. When I ran SQLPackage.exe I got the following error:

‘Unable to connect to master or target server ‘AxDB_New’. You must have a user with the same password in master or target server ‘AxDB_New’

The issue here is that the version of SQL Management Studio that is provided in the Azure VM is version 16 and Azure SQL requires version 17… with that background I am not convinced that the error message is totally relevant…

The solution is to upgrade Management Studio to the latest Version.
