I sign in to Azure Learning. I can access and work on my lessons. I have a lesson that requires creating a virtual machine. Azure learning lets me create a virtual machine. It does not let me see it. It requires me to "sign in with your account". I am already signed in with my school account just to continue my lesson path. The website says I have created a virtual machine, and gives me a time limit of 1 hour use. I just can't see the virtual machine. What do I do?
This question is related to the following Learning Module

Hi Christopher King,
We appreciate your patience. We have notified our internal team of the issue and suggest you to follow this temporary workaround as suggested by TP:
You can workaround the issue by first Activating the sandbox (solving puzzles, reviewing permissions, etc.) and then once you see the sign-in box appear on the right open a new browser tab. In this new tab, browse to https://shell.azure.com. If your existing sandbox hasn't expired you can use that instead of activating a new one.
When prompted, click Bash (the exercise has both PowerShell and Bash. You can switch between them as needed using button above cloud shell window).
Next choose No storage account required, for Subscription select Concierge Subscription, and click Apply.
After several seconds delay while a cloud shell is requested and connected to, you should see $ prompt. At this point you can complete the exercises instructions, copy/paste code from exercise tab to cloud shell tab as needed, etc.
Hi Christopher King,
Just checking in to see if you had a chance to see my previous answer. Please let me know if it was helpful and don't hesitate to reach out to us if you face any issue.
Thank you.
Unfortunately, while my sign-in was successful my criteria was not qualified to use this resource. I thank you for the idea. Do you know why I'm not qualified? Is it because I'm only a student?
Hi Christopher King,
Could you please share a screenshot of the error for more effective communication?
Our internal team is actively working on a fix for this problem. In the meantime, please follow the workaround I provided earlier to access your virtual machine.
Unfortunately, putting in https://shell.azure.com also gives me this. I forgot to put it in with the last picture so I tried it again.
Hi @Christopher King,
Based on the screenshot, it appears you're using an educational email, which may be causing the access restrictions you're experiencing. We recommend contacting your administrator, as they should be able to grant the necessary access.
