Stuck on Azure Cloud Shell: Configuring Cloud Shell for sandbox access...

Question

I get stuck on this screen and the cloud shell doesn't start. I have tried signing in and out, deleting caches, switched browsers and gone incognito. Nothing helps. Upon inspection I see this on https://management.azure.com/providers/Microsoft.Portal/userSettings/cloudconsole?api-version=2017-08-01-preview

{"error":{"code":"AuthenticationFailed","message":"Authentication failed. The 'Authorization' header is missing."}}

How can I fix this?

This is the response:

{
  "error": {"code": "ApiVersionIncompatible",

"message": "Existing user settings are incompatible with api version '2017-08-01-preview'. Switch to a client using at least version '2020-04-01-preview' or delete user settings to proceed."
  }

}

Hi Nina,

Please Activate a new sandbox, review permissions, solve puzzle(s), etc., and then once the black cloud shell screen is there on right, open a separate tab and browse to https://shell.azure.com . If this opens successfully you can copy/paste the exercise code into this tab instead.

Please note that Unit 3 exercise and the later exercise in the same module need to be completed in the same sandbox, in sequence.

Occasionally other people have encountered same issue as you are experiencing. Hopefully above workaround will allow you to complete the exercises.
