Description of problem:

RHEL 6.7 VM created from On-Demmand Image is showing "not registered" when running "yum update"

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
TBD

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Login Azure portal through portal.azure.com
2.Create a RHEL 6.7 VM
3.Login the VM through SSH
4.Run "sudo yum update"

Actual results:
[azureuser@scotttestrhel67 ~]$ sudo yum update

We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System
Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:

    #1) Respect the privacy of others.
    #2) Think before you type.
    #3) With great power comes great responsibility.

[sudo] password for azureuser:
Loaded plugins: langpacks, product-id, rhui-lb, search-disabled-repos,
              : subscription-manager
This system is not registered to Red Hat Subscription Management. You can use subscription-manager to register.
No packages marked for update

Actually, below will be always showing up when running yum related command:

This system is not registered to Red Hat Subscription Management. You can use subscription-manager to register.

Expected results:
-the output should be indicating this is an registered RHEL.

Additional info:
The "not registered" message could be ignored given the "yum update" actually worked well, but the message provided the bad user experience.

Subscription manager appears to be working exactly the it was designed. If no subscription is attached to the system then no updates will be provided. 

Please open a support case with Red Hat from the Azure Portal for support of on-demand images.
