Hi Barkha Amarlal Chainani,

UPDATE 2024-01-06: It appears to be broken for many people now. You may copy/paste code below instead of the code in the exercise and it should work fine. Make sure you Activate a fresh sandbox and when the Cloud Shell window is ready Copy/Paste the two code blocks below instead of corresponding blocks in the exercise.

From Cloud Shell, run the following az vm create command to create a Linux VM:

Azure CLICopy

rg=$(az group list --query [0].name -o tsv) az vm create --resource-group $rg --name my-vm --public-ip-sku Standard --image Ubuntu2204 --admin-username azureuser --generate-ssh-keys

Unfortunately Q & A won't allow me to post the second code block. Basically, it is the same as what is in the exercise except you need to substitute $rg for [sandbox resource group name], as shown in screenshot:

When the exercise works properly, during the sandbox activation process it updates the resource group name (to the "learn-" that was generated) in the code block so that when you copy/paste into the Cloud Shell window it will work. It appears that it failed for some reason in your case.

Hello AmaranS,

Thank you very much for your solution! Unfortunately when I go to the exercise it is stuck on the below step:

I have tried multiple times to proceed from here, unfortunately that used up two of my sandboxes, and shall likely use up one more as I took a screenshot for this attempt. Is there a way to please restore those lost sandboxes for me, so that I don't lose out on learning any sandbox based exercises ahead.

Hi Barkha Amarlal Chainani,

From your question we understand that you are facing an issue while trying to access the sandbox.

Please try the following steps before you try to activate a sandbox:

**1.**Log out from all Microsoft accounts in your browser, clear the cache and try to login to your Learn account using the proper credentials.

**2.**Try using the incognito/private mode in your browser to rule out any cache or cookie issues.

**3.**Browser Compatibility: Ensure that you are using a supported and up-to-date browser.

4. If you are using your company's email, authentication and authorization is defined by your IT admin and hence won't allow you to activate/create paid resources (unless you are on the approved list) or free sandboxes. Try using your own Microsoft account. Create a new free account if you don't have one yet.

Thank you for reaching out to check on the issue, yes I did check the responses and a few other solutions. Unfortunately, I am stuck at the Azure Cloud Configuring message for all my sandbox exercises. Please see the below screenshot for your reference.

Please help me with the same.

Hi Barkha Amarlal Chainani,

The script you are entering isn't correct. There is no resource group "rg1" and you don't have permission to create it.

Please navigate to the Create an Azure virtual machine exercise, Activate a new sandbox, sign in, etc. Once sandbox is activated and black cloud shell window with "Welcome to Azure Cloud Shell" displayed, navigate to Exercise - Configure network access using the "Unit x of 14" dropdown above the exercise.

After page loads and resource group name is updated to learn-, immediately navigate back to Create an Azure virtual machine exercise and complete it.

Inspiration for above workaround came from @pnaroju's #2 suggestion in this post.
