Hi Aditya,

Thank you so much for explaining the error message! I really appreciate the clear explanation; it's a great example of excellent customer service. I haven't used this email for an Azure subscription recently, so it was likely a long time ago.

I have a follow-up question and a suggestion for improvement.

My Question

I'm a beginner in cloud computing and may have missed the significance of these details when registering. Since I can't remember my account details, how can I find my Domain Name or Tenant ID? I'm blocked at the login screen that asks for the domain/tenant to complete the URL: https://portal.azure.com/{Domain Name or Tenant ID}.

My Suggestions

I think these small changes could significantly help other users, especially beginners, with troubleshooting:

Date of Inactivation: Could you please consider adding the date when the account was made inactive (post-billing cycle) to the error message screen? Knowing the date would make it much easier to pinpoint the issue.

Displaying Key IDs: Would it be possible to display the Domain Name/Tenant ID prominently in the Azure User Profile (perhaps in the "About" or "Settings" section)? This would help users note this crucial information for future troubleshooting, provided it doesn't pose a security threat.

Thank you again for your time and for considering this feedback!

Regards,

Ajoy

Hello @Ajoy JK

As explained Tenant block AADSTS5000225 happens when user doesn't login into Azure. Thank you for the feedback, Worldwide so many customers use Azure. Users can see their tenant id by logging into Azure. Also an email for the same will be sent to the customer at the time of creating or joining tenant. So Key ID's are already in place.

You mentioned that you have created tenant recently, please check your email you can find tenant id and try to login using URL: https://portal.azure.com/{Domain Name or tenant id}

Please let us know if you need any further assistance.

Thanks,

Aditya

Hello @Ajoy Joykutty

Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A.

I understand that you're unable to login into Azure account after creating a new Microsoft Azure Free Trail Account.

Basically Error message: AADSTS5000225 means that tenant has been inactive for over 200 days past the billing cycle, triggering Microsoft’s effort to remove inactive tenants. When a tenant remains inactive for this period, the OMS commerce system imposes a login block (AADSTS5000225).

Here the email id which you used to create a new Azure account was already in past was linked to tenant of some organization which might have went dormant.

To resolve this, you can try providing your tenant id or domain name in the URL, then it will redirect to that mentioned Tenant. Pasting the link below.

https://portal.azure.com/{Domain Name or tenant id}

Please reach out to us in case of any further issue.
