@Sadanand Madpathy (Harman Connected ServicesCorpo) I'm glad that you were able to resolve your issue and thank you for posting your solution so that others experiencing the same thing can easily reference this! Since the Microsoft Q&A community has a policy that "The question author cannot accept their own answer. They can only accept answers by others", I'll repost your solution in case you'd like to "Accept" the answer.
Issue Fix: The problem was related to the connection string and that you were missing the ";EndpointSuffix=core.windows.net" suffix.
Thank you again for your time and patience throughout this issue.
