Hi Gourab,

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 something similar to learn-3294a2f5-b8ec-2def-ca62-49e23701bd77, 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.
