The most likely reason is that your code uses an out-proc COM server that you deploy on the same machine during role startup. Later you instantiate an object in that server and COM subsystem provides you with a proxy object. The communication between your code and the COM server is done using RPC - an RPC server is started inside the out-proc COM server. Then the COM server crashes and all you have is a proxy to a now non-existing COM server (and non-existing RPC server). When you perform any call on the dangling proxy you face this error message - RPC server is unavailable.

You have to find what COM server crashes and why it does so and act accordingly.

I am not very sure where the issue is encountered. But according to http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/4494.troubleshooting-the-rpc-server-is-unavailable.aspx, the issue can occur if a computer name cannot be found. I would like to know whether you are using computer name in your code. By default, a Windows Azure machine is not in your local network, so you cannot connect to a local machine using machine name. If you want to invoke an on-premises service, you can use Windows Azure Connect.

Best Regards,
