I am doing the exercise part of the Azure Fundamentals certification which consists of creating an Azure VM and then configure Ngnix on the VM. I was able creating the VM, however the Ngnix process always fails after 3 attempts. Here's what I am getting:
(VMExtensionProvisioningError) VM has reported a failure when processing extension 'customScript' (publisher 'Microsoft.Azure.Extensions' and type 'customScript'). Error message: 'Enable failed: failed to execute command: command terminated with exit status=1

Hi @Philippe Lefebvre
Thank you for reaching out to us on MS Q&A forum.
We regret any inconvenience this may have caused. Based on my understanding of the situation, it seems you are working on the following Learning Path exercise:
Topic: AZ-900
Learning Path: Azure Fundamentals: Describe Azure architecture and services
Module: Describe Azure compute and networking services
Unit: 3 of 14 Exercise - Create an Azure Virtual Machine
I've made multiple attempts to reproduce the issue, and I can confirm that the documented steps function correctly for me.
Please review a related discussion thread (authored by TP) for summarized steps.
Here's a brief rundown of the steps:
Upon completing Step 4, continue your module starting from Step 2 of Task 1: "Create a Linux Virtual Machine and Install Nginx," within Module 3 of 14.
If the issue continues to persist, please do not hesitate to inform us, and we will be more than happy to provide further assistance.
If you have found the answer provided to be helpful, please click on the "Accept Answer and Upvote" button so that it is useful for other members in the Microsoft Q&A community.
I started the lab from scratch. For some reason, I am now able creating the VM and configuring Nginx. However, in unit 9, when I copy and paste the script to get the IP address, I am getting a new error:
IPADDRESS="$(az vm list-ip-addresses --resource-group "learn-82ec62e4-523f-4d88-9627-df6f49be38cd" --name my-vm --query "[].virtualMachine.network.publicIpAddresses[*].ipAddress" --output tsv)"
IPADDRESS=$(az vm list-ip-addresses --resource-group "learn-82ec62e4-523f-4d88-9627-df6f49be38cd" --name my-vm --query "[].virtualMachine.network.publicIpAddresses[*].ipAddress" --output tsv): The term 'IPADDRESS=$(az vm list-ip-addresses --resource-group "learn-82ec62e4-523f-4d88-9627-df6f49be38cd" --name my-vm --query "[].virtualMachine.network.publicIpAddresses[*].ipAddress" --output tsv)' is not recognized as a name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or executable program.
Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.
I was able creating the VM from scratch and configuring Nginx, using the same approach as previously. Not sure why it worked this time. In any case, once the VM created, I am unable completing the Unit 9 exercise. I am getting another error message when copying and pasting the get IP address script:
IPADDRESS="$(az vm list-ip-addresses --resource-group "learn-82ec62e4-523f-4d88-9627-df6f49be38cd" --name my-vm --query "[].virtualMachine.network.publicIpAddresses[*].ipAddress" --output tsv)"
IPADDRESS=$(az vm list-ip-addresses --resource-group "learn-82ec62e4-523f-4d88-9627-df6f49be38cd" --name my-vm --query "[].virtualMachine.network.publicIpAddresses[*].ipAddress" --output tsv): The term 'IPADDRESS=$(az vm list-ip-addresses --resource-group "learn-82ec62e4-523f-4d88-9627-df6f49be38cd" --name my-vm --query "[].virtualMachine.network.publicIpAddresses[*].ipAddress" --output tsv)' is not recognized as a name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or executable program.
Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.
Hi@ Philippe Lefebvrei,
We understand that you're facing an error with Exercise 9. We’ve reviewed it on our side.
You need to activate a new sandbox and complete all tasks in both Unit 3 (the previous exercise) and Unit 9 (the exercise you're referring to) within one hour. The sandbox will automatically expire after one hour, and all resources will be deleted.
To check how much time is remaining before the sandbox expires, simply scroll to the top of the exercise.
Please go back to the Unit 3 Exercise, activate a new sandbox, complete all the tasks, then proceed to the Unit 9 Exercise, finish all the tasks, and provide your results afterward.
Unit 3:Exercise - Create an Azure Virtual Machine Task 1: Create a Linux virtual machine and install Nginx:
step 1
Step-2
Unit 9 : Exercise - Configure network access. Task 1: Access your web server step1 & step2
& step3 Task 2: List the current network security group rules
Task 3: Create the network security rule
We have tried multiple times to reproduce the issue, but we haven't faced any error.
Additionally reference thread link:
If you are still running into this issue after completing the prerequisite, post a comment to let us know and we'll continue to troubleshoot this.
less than an hour before working on this unit so that your VM isn't automatically deleted.

If so, please accept the answer by clicking the Accept Answer / Upvote on the post. We value your feedback, and it will help to assist others who might have a similar query. Thank you for your contribution in enhancing Microsoft Q&A!
Thanks, I just repeated the Steps in Unit 3 and was able creating the VM and Ngnix. However, although I moved to Unit 9 within 2 minutes, the Task 1 script still fails; I am unable getting the IP address of the VM. It seems like I am using a new Sandbox; yesterday it was showing I was using 3 out of 10. whereas today it shows I am using 4 out of 10. Remaining time as I wrote this was 43 minutes.
Tried again, with a new sandbox, but result is the same. I am able creating the VM and Nginix in Unit 3, however getting the VM IP address in Unit 9 fails systematically.
This is what I am getting after pasting the script in Unit 9, Task :
IPADDRESS=$(az vm list-ip-addresses --resource-group "learn-438c8ce7-c5ce-442f-904c-3a17e8139baa" --name my-vm --query "[].virtualMachine.network.publicIpAddresses[*].ipAddress" --output tsv): The term 'IPADDRESS=$(az vm list-ip-addresses --resource-group "learn-438c8ce7-c5ce-442f-904c-3a17e8139baa" --name my-vm --query "[].virtualMachine.network.publicIpAddresses[*].ipAddress" --output tsv)' is not recognized as a name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or executable program.
Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.
This was all done within 10 minutes of creating the new sandbox. Hence I cannot move forward.
The error message suggests that the command isn't recognized because it looks like you're running it in PowerShell instead of Bash.
First, you can switch to Bash by looking for the "Switch to Bash" option in your terminal or interface.
After you switch to Bash, your terminal interface should look similar to the one shown in the screenshot.
