  `AzureSMR` is an R Package for managing a selection of Azure resources, using the Azure Service Manager API. The package exposes function to manage resources, resource groups, storage (blobs and containers), ARM templates, virtual machines, HDInsight (nodes, Hive and Spark) and Azure Data Lake Store. To use the package, you must configure an Azure Active Directory application and service principal in the Azure portal.
 
-To get started with this package, see the vignettes:
-
-  * [Tutorial](http://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/Microsoft/AzureSMR/blob/master/inst/doc/tutorial.html)
-  * [Getting Authenticated](http://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/Microsoft/AzureSMR/blob/master/inst/doc/Authentication.html)
-
-To access the package help, just type `?AzureSMR` into your code editor.
-
-Technical note: The package connects to Azure using standard CRAN packages (for example `httr` and `jsonlite`). This means you can use open source R to connect to Azure - you don't need Microsoft R Server.
+**AzureSMR is no longer being actively developed. For ongoing support of Azure in R, please see the [AzureR](https://github.com/Azure/AzureR) family of packages.**
