Answer 1

Hi Christopher Mills,

Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q & A forum.

Based on the provided error code, it is recommended to substitute "[sandbox resource group name]" with the default resource group name, commencing with "learn......" (for instance: learn-f063fbde-8087-4d3b-91a3-cc2475106779). This replacement should be made adjacent to the --resource-group name, as illustrated in the accompanying screenshot below.

Please do not use a personalized resource group name, such as (e.g., my-group-01). Instead, consider using a resource group name that begins with learn-f063fbde-8087-4d3b-91a3-cc2475106779, as illustrated in the provided screenshot below.

Please reach out to us if you have any further queries.

Kindly "Accept answer" and "Upvote" so that it is useful for others in the Microsoft Q&A community.
