title: Get-AzureStorageAccount Commandlet Returning HttpRequestException
body: <p>Having a hell of a day with Azure Powershell.</p>
  
  <p>After much effort, I've got some of the commandlets working e.g. Get-AzureSubscription -Current returns details of my subscription.</p>
  
  <p>Not sure if this is relevant, but one of the details it returns is CurrentStorageAccountName which is empty. Not sure if that is the same as target of the Get-AzureStorageAccount commandlet.</p>
  
  <p>Get-AzureStorageAccount returns the following, verbatim:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Get-AzureStorageAccount : An error occurred while sending the request.
    At line:1 char:1
    + Get-AzureStorageAccount -StorageAccountName "mensch"
    + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [Get-AzureStorageAccount], HttpRequestException
        + FullyQualifiedErrorId : System.Net.Http.HttpRequestException,Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Commands.ServiceManagement.S
    torageServices.GetAzureStorageAccountCommand</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I assumed that when I ran Set-AzureSubscription commandlet earlier that it succeeded, but it gives no message either way. But I uploaded a certificate and ran that command with the relevant thumbprint and thought I was on my way.</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas why Get-AzureStorageAccount is not working for me?</p>
