Hello there,

I am new to Azure and currently using trial version and trying to create a new Azure Synapse workspace but getting an error while creating a new account name for Data Lake storage Gen2. I am seeing the error message "There was an error trying to validate storage account name. Please try again." I have attached a screenshot of the error message for reference. Can someone please help me resolve this issue? Thank you.

    Hi Dinesh,

    The name you entered is already taken. Normally the error message would have said it is already taken, but it appears the portal was having a problem checking the name. It is likely this is a temporary issue.

    Please try a longer, more unique name, such as dineshdatalakegen2 instead.

    Thanks.
