title: GET-S3Bucket Name resolution failure attempting to reach service in region eu-west-1
body: <p>I am attempting to connect to AWS s3 with Powershell but have hit this error when I run Get-S3Bucket and any PS scripts i want to run</p>
  
  <p>"GET-S3BucketL Name resolution failure attempting to reach service in region eu-west-1 (as supplied to the  -Region parameter or from the configured shell default))</p>
  
  <p>My config: </p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>Powershell Toolket: AWSToolsAndSDKForNet_sdk-3.3.211.0_ps-3.3.210.0_tk-1.13.0.4.msi</p></li>
  <li><p>Set-AWSCredential -AccessKey ABC -SecretKey 123 -StoreAs aws-access</p></li>
  <li><p>Initialize-AWSDefaultConfiguration -ProfileName aws-access -Region eu-west-1 added to Powershell Profile</p></li>
  <li><p>Import-Module "C:\Program Files (x86)\AWSTools\PowerShell\AWSPowerShell\AWSPowerShell.psd1" Added to Powershell profile</p></li>
  <li><p>All on a Windows 2008 R2 Datacenter </p></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Check:
   C:\Users\xxxxx\AppData\Local\AWSToolkit\RegisteredAccounts.json is correct</p>
  
  <p>Testing:
   - The connection works through a third party backup software which does use the same AWS credentials above. I can browse to the buckets no problem. ~This is whats so annoying
  - also all of the above allows connection/scripting form my own Desktop ~Win10</p>
  
  <p>I am not able to ask for AWS Support due to costs</p>
