In Unit 3 of "Describe Azure compute and networking services" the resource group in step 1 still shows [sandbox resource group name] despite me already having set the sandbox up from the previous model. So I went to the portal and copied the name of the resource group to replace it manually. When I tried executing the step in the sandbox, I got a deployment error with the message Changing property 'imageReference' is not allowed.

    Hi,

    There is a bug in the exercise that appeared recently. Please use instructions below.

    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. Please make sure you click the Copy button in upper right of each code block, right-click Paste into Cloud Shell window on right, then press Enter to execute command.

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