In Azure AD -> External Identities I am trying to link to my subscription but keep getting the error:

Cannot create resource with location: 'United States'. Please use location: 'Europe' to create resource for b2c directory: 'surreyhillsaccountancycouk.onmicrosoft.com'.

My subscription is in the Europe Region and so is my Azure AD tenant but I keep getting this message.

    Hello @Chris Royall · Welcome to QnA platform and thanks for your query.

    Please check the location of the resource group where you have the B2C tenant object. You can find the location of the Resource group by navigating to its properties. If the location is United States, you need to move the B2C tenant object to a Resource Group in Europe location. Please refer to below image:
