This article describes how to resolve errors for Azure storage account names that can occur during deployment with a Bicep file or Azure Resource Manager template (ARM template). Common causes for an error are a storage account name with invalid characters or a storage account that uses the same name as an existing storage account. Storage account names must be globally unique across Azure.
Symptom
An invalid storage account name causes an error code during deployment. The following are some examples of errors for storage account names.
If your storage account name includes prohibited characters, like an uppercase letter or special character like an exclamation point.
Code=AccountNameInvalidMessage=S!torageckrexph7isnoc is not a valid storage account name. Storage account name must bebetween 3 and 24 characters in length and use numbers and lower-case letters only.
Invalid resource location
If you try to deploy a new storage account with the same name and in the same resource group, but use a different location as an existing storage account in your Azure subscription. The error indicates the storage account already exists and can't be created in the new location. Select a different name to create the new storage account.
Code=InvalidResourceLocationMessage=The resource 'storageckrexph7isnoc' already exists in location 'westus'in resource group 'demostorage'. A resource with the same name cannot be created in location 'eastus'.Please select a new resource name.
Storage account in another resource group
If you try to deploy a new storage account with the same name and location as an existing storage account but in a different resource group in your subscription.
Code=StorageAccountInAnotherResourceGroupMessage=The account storageckrexph7isnoc is already in another resource group in this subscription.
Storage account already taken
If you try to deploy a new storage account with the same name as a storage account that already exists in Azure. The existing storage account name might be in your subscription or tenant, or anywhere across Azure. Storage account names must be globally unique across Azure.
Code=StorageAccountAlreadyTakenMessage=The storage account named storageckrexph7isnoc is already taken.
Cause
Common reasons for an error are because the storage account name uses invalid characters or is a duplicate name. Storage account names must meet the following criteria:
Length between 3 and 24 characters with only lowercase letters and numbers.
Must be globally unique across Azure. Storage account names can't be duplicated in Azure.
Solution
You can create a unique name by concatenating a prefix or suffix with a value from the uniqueString function.
The following examples specify a prefix with the string storage that's concatenated with the value from uniqueString.
Make sure your storage account name doesn't exceed 24 characters. The uniqueString function returns 13 characters. If you want to concatenate a prefix or suffix, provide a value that's 11 characters or less.
The following examples use a parameter named storageNamePrefix that creates a prefix with a maximum of 11 characters.
Bicep
JSON
@description('The prefix value for the storage account name.')@maxLength(11)param storageNamePrefix string = 'storage'
You then concatenate the storageNamePrefix parameter's value with the uniqueString value to create a storage account name.
Based on my research, we cannot change name of storage after it was created. However, if you need to use a different name for your Storage Account, you will typically need to create a new account with the desired name, and then move the data and any associated configurations to the new account.
Storage account names must be between 3 and 24 characters in length and may contain numbers and lowercase letters only. Your storage account name must be unique within Azure.
Click on Storage Accounts in the left-pane.In the screen that appears, select the storage account for which you'd like to find the Account Name and Account Key. The name displayed here is the name of your storage account.
You can also open Storage Explorer from the command line with the --ignore-certificate-errors flag. When opened with this flag, Storage Explorer ignores certificate errors.
If you try to deploy a new storage account with the same name as a storage account that already exists in Azure. The existing storage account name might be in your subscription or tenant, or anywhere across Azure. Storage account names must be globally unique across Azure.
Unfortunately, you cannot rename your hole Azure/Entra ID tenant. You can create a new . onmicrosoft.com domain with your desired name (if the name is available and not already taken by someone else) and then change that to be your "default" . onmicrosoft.com domain for new users if not useing custom domain.
A blob name must be at least one character long and cannot be more than 1,024 characters long, for blobs in Azure Storage. The Azure Storage emulator supports blob names up to 256 characters long.
You cannot rename existing resources. If you're trying to standardize existing resources, it becomes impossible to adopt a universal naming convention. All you can do is move an existing resource group to a new resource group OR create a new resource with the same name and settings.
When naming Azure resources, resource names must meet service requirements. The requirements for Resource Group names are: Between 1 and 90 characters long.Alphanumerics, underscores, parentheses, hyphens, periods.
There are five storage types available in Microsoft Azure divided into two groups. The first group, which includes Queue Storage, Table Storage, and Blob Storage is designed with file storage, scalability, and communication in mind and is accessible via REST API.
Start by looking up your storage account name in your application settings. Either AzureWebJobsStorage or WEBSITE_CONTENTAZUREFILECONNECTIONSTRING contains the name of your storage account as part of a connection string. For more information, see App settings reference for Azure Functions.
From the home page, select User settings, and then select Profile.From the Profile page, you can change the profile picture, display name, contact information, and region. Select Save. Select the Time and Locale tab to change more settings, like language, date and time pattern, time zone, and UI theme.
No.You can't rename a blob container in Windows Azure. What you could do is create a new blob container with the new name and copy blobs from old blob container to the new one. Once the blobs are copied, you can delete the old blob container.
The initial domain name was established when the directory was created by the admin, and it can't be changed or deleted. However, you can add a custom domain name. Please see the referred part from official documentation below. Every domain name in Azure AD is either an initial domain name, or a custom domain name.
