Thanks Phil, creating it a ‘General Purpose’ instead of ‘Blob’ account resolved my issue as well!!

Phil you are a life saver. I ran into the same issue. I removed my storage account and added a new one with the general type and all is working.

Thanks!

To save somebody else banging their head against a brick wall for a couple of hours. When following this article and specifying blob storage as the Account kind I couldn’t get this to work, I constantly got the error message :

Set-ClusterQuorum : An error occurred while validating access to Azure from cluster node ‘xxxxxxxxxxxx’.
Please check your storage account name, endpoint, and access key.

When I deleted and recreated the storage account as a General Purpose account everything worked fine.
