Azure VMs are not able to inter-communicate each other

Question

I have created few virtual machines with same ResourceGroup and NetworkSecurityGroup. I am not using custom DNS but default one.

Now, I want these machines to talk each other, can use shared folders of each others and so on.

For example: VM named Machine-2 can access shared folder of another VM Machine-1 like: \\\Machine-1\SharedFolder

I have gone through some similar threads like below:

• Azure VMs Virtual Network inter-communication
• https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/virtual-networks-name-resolution-for-vms-and-role-instances/

Right now, these VMs are even not ping-able from others.

Answer 1

You should look at Azure Files. It exploits your existing storage account and it is very easy to use.
