Hi Karan Tuteja,

Thanks for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A.

The error message you are encountering indicates that the ADLS Gen2 endpoint you're using does not support certain features, specifically BlobStorageEvents or SoftDelete. To resolve this issue, you need to disable these features on the storage account you're using.

Here are the steps to resolve this issue:

1. Disable Blob Storage Events and Soft Delete:
   • Navigate to the Azure portal.
   • Go to the Storage Account that is being used as the sink in Azure Data Factory.
   • In the storage account settings, locate the Blob Service section.
   • Disable Soft Delete if it is enabled.
   • You can do this by selecting Data protection under Blob service and turning off the Soft delete setting for blobs.
   • If there are any event subscriptions related to BlobStorageEvents, disable or remove them.
   • Navigate to Events under Blob service and ensure there are no event subscriptions active that could be causing this issue.
2. Check for Unsupported Features:
   • Ensure that there are no other features enabled that might be causing this conflict with ADLS Gen2.

Retry once the above is done, you should not be getting any error.
