Hello,
I installed Rancher 1.0.1 and tried to add a host against Azure.
I got this error: “Error with pre-create check… local error: internal error”.
I’m not getting any error message help here. Here’s logs:

Have you tried taking the same docker-machine command to see if you are able to launch the host without using Rancher? The UI is just providing a user friendly way of running docker-machine to launch hosts.
Try creating an instance in Azure using docker-machine with the same command that is in your issue.
```auto
`docker-machine create -d azure --engine-install-url https://releases.rancher.com/install-docker/1.10.sh --azure-location East US --azure-password ************--azure-size Standard_DS2 --azure-subscription-cert /var/lib/cattle/machine/6ec5f3c0-e234-4cfe-976f-796fc150c268/subscription-cert.pem --azure-subscription-id******** - ****-**** - ****-************ --azure-username myemail@outlook.com lab03
```
If it fails with the same error, then smething is incorrect in docker-machine command.
