Create Storage Account

Question

Hi, I am having problem creating a storage account. My company has a subscription for Office 365. Is it possible to use the same subscription to create the storage account or I will need to create a new subscription?

Answer 1

Hi @Joubert Choshi

Thank you for asking this question on the **Microsoft Q&A Platform. **

If you have a subscription for Office 365, you have a tenant, but do not necessarily have an Azure Subscription.

You can validate that you have an Azure Subscription in https://portal.azure.com/#view/Microsoft_Azure_Billing/SubscriptionsBlade

If you have a subscription, you can use it, otherwise, you can create it

Hope this helps,

Answer 2

@Joubert Choshi Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Forum, Thank you for posting your query here!

Is it possible to use the same subscription to create the storage account or I will need to create a new subscription? No,

Additional information : Microsoft 365 uses Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) to manage user identities behind the scenes. Your Microsoft 365 subscription includes a free Azure AD subscription so that you can integrate your on-premises Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) to synchronize user accounts and passwords or set up single sign-on. You can also purchase advanced features to better manage your accounts.

Azure AD also offers other functionality, like managing integrated apps, that you can use to extend and customize your Microsoft 365 subscriptions.

You can use the Azure AD deployment advisors for a guided setup and configuration experience in the Microsoft 365 admin center (you must be signed in to Microsoft 365)

Please let us know if you have any further queries. I’m happy to assist you further.
