Logging into MS Learn Sandbox module - unexpected error

Lars Flesland 30

Hi i'm having issues logging into the MS Learn Sandbox.

At first i thought i might be restricted by my organization because of some policy. So i switched to a private account. Still haveing the same issues. I thought it might require an Azure Sub. So i signed up for this. It still does not let me sign in.

I have closed all browser sessions, and also ran a new in-private browser session. Still no luck.

After this i read up even more. It clearly states i dont even need an Azure Sub. So it was a waste to use my free shot there. Still i can not launch the Sandbox and can not get any further with the training.

Why does this have to be so hard? What do i do wrong?

This question is related to the following Learning Module

The reasons seems to be connected to Account permissions, which should have been asked for on login. When i logged inn several hours later, i was now asked for this and accepted. I dont know why i didn't get the question for account permissions the first time around. It is now solved. Thanks.

Hi Darren Gregory,
I understand you're experiencing with the access error while trying to use the MS Learn Sandbox. Here are some troubleshooting steps that may help resolve the issue:

Check Account Permissions and Re-login: It's possible that there's a temporary glitch with your account permissions. Please try logging out of MS Learn completely and then signing back in. This simple step often refreshes your access and resolves such issues.

Clear Browser Cache and Cookies: Corrupted cache or cookies can sometimes cause access problems. I recommend clearing your browser's cache and cookies. After doing so, restart your browser and try accessing the sandbox again.

Incognito/Private Window: It's worth trying again to rule out any interference from browser extensions. Access the MS Learn Sandbox in an incognito or private window to see if that helps resolve the issue.

By following these steps, you should hopefully overcome the access error and be able to use the sandbox.

Cutting and pasting answers is of no use, and is obviously only done for "upvotes" ... It's apparent that there is an issue with my specific ID that needs addressing by someone at Microsoft ... hence posting on the Microsoft site. It would be nice to actually get support from Microsoft themselves at some stage !!!

I just had to "verify I am a human" with 10 ... yes 10 images ... all correctly, to then, at 20% of the sandbox loading get, once more a "unexpected error has occurred"..

Again, why is it so hard to getting anything support !

Hello @Lars Flesland

Thanks for reaching out in the Microsoft Q&A!

To tackle the issue of accessing the MS Learn Sandbox, let's move forward with some additional troubleshooting steps. So, the next step is to ensure your Microsoft account is verified and to check if you've reached the daily sandbox activation limit. If you're encountering difficulties with a specific Cloud Skills Challenge, remember to explore the support options available on the challenge page. And if you're still facing issues after trying these steps, don't hesitate to reach out to Microsoft Learn support for further assistance. I hope these steps help resolve the issue for you!

Thank you for the answer, but this is not really relevant to my case.

Yes my account is verified.

Yes i am aware of the sandbox activation limit - but i did have the whole hour of time left when i first started getting the problems.

I dont think this is regarding a specific clouds skills challenge. As it was the first attempt at logging into the sandbox.

So in short. I still have the problems, this is not helpful. Thank you for trying your best.
