Hi @KOTA M ,

if during the deployment in Azure something doesn't work there should be a more detailed error message shown up. With just the information "deployment failed" it's hard to help and find the reason.

If you get an error message like "deployment failed" please take a look for more details, sometimes you have to click on a link to see the details.

(If the reply was helpful please don't forget to upvote and/or accept as answer, thank you)

Hello @KOTA,

Thank you for sharing the error details and screenshot. The “policy violation” error you’re seeing when creating a virtual network occurs because Azure Policies have been applied to your student subscription. These policies, set by Microsoft or your school’s IT administrators, are in place to ensure security, compliance, or cost management, and are commonly found on student or sponsored accounts.

Fix the issue by following steps below:

With a student or managed subscription, you usually can't change or remove these policy restrictions yourself.

Check the “Deployment Failed” details in the Azure Portal—sometimes the error message will specify which policy is blocking your deployment.

If your subscription is managed by your school, reach out to your IT or team administrator for clarification or to request changes if possible.

For personal Azure for Students subscriptions, these restrictions are set by Microsoft and can only be removed by upgrading your subscription (for example, to Pay-As-You-Go) after your student credit expires.

Trying a different region is unlikely to help if the policy is applied at the subscription level.

If you share the exact policy name from the error details, I can help to fix the issue.

Kindly let us know if the above helps or you need further assistance on this issue.

Hi @KOTA M ,

the error message is pointing to a defined Azure Policy in your subscription that might forbid the deployment of the virtual network with the configured parameters.

The error message contains the option to see more details you can check:

Hello @KOTA,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Platform. Thank you for reaching out & hope you are doing well.

I understand your question regarding the “Deployment Failed” error when creating a virtual network in your Azure student subscription. This error often occurs due to a few typical reasons,

Student subscriptions come with certain resource limits. If you’ve reached the maximum number of virtual networks or public IPs, your deployment might not succeed.
Some regions may not fully support all resources for student accounts. Try selecting a different region, such as East US or Central India, as this can often resolve the issue.
Ensure the resource group you’re using exists and that there are no policies blocking the creation of new network resources.
Also, double-check your address space and subnet settings. Overlapping IP ranges can cause deployment failures.

Fix the issue by following the steps below:

Check the Error Details: Go to Azure portal, click on Deployment Failed → View Error Details, the message will typically provide specific details about what went wrong.
Go to Subscriptions → Usage + Quotas and please confirm whether you still have the capacity to create virtual networks.
When setting up the VNet, choose a different supported region to help determine if there are any regional restrictions.
Start by deploying with a basic configuration, such as using an address space of 10.0.0.0/16 and a single subnet, to confirm that the setup functions correctly.

Note: If you can share the exact error message or a screenshot, I’ll be happy to investigate it further and walk you through the fix step-by-step.
