Unable to activate AllowPrivateEndpoints feature in my subscription

Question

I am trying to register the "AllowPrivateEndpoints" feature of Microsoft.Network to my subscription. According to the command, "az feature show --namespace Microsoft.Network --name AllowPrivateEndpoints --query properties.state --output tsp", it has been in state "Pending" for about five days now. I have tried to activate it multiple times. Apparently I need Microsoft Support help to nudge it forward.

Answer 1

I haven't heard anything in over a day. Is there something I need to do to get a Microsoft Moderator involved?

Hi @Matt White

Based on your description, a feature registration remaining in the Pending state for several days is not expected behavior. In most cases, Azure feature registrations complete within minutes to a few hours, although some preview features may take longer.

A few things to verify first:

1. Check the current registration status:

*az feature show *

*--namespace Microsoft.Network *

*--name AllowPrivateEndpoints *

--query properties.state

2. If the feature shows Registered, refresh the resource provider registration:

az provider register --namespace Microsoft.Network

3. Verify the provider registration:

*az provider show *

*--namespace Microsoft.Network *

--query registrationState

If the feature has remained in Pending for approximately five days, it is unlikely that additional registration attempts will resolve the issue. This may indicate a backend issue with the feature registration or that the feature is no longer available for registration in your subscription or region.

At this point, I recommend that a Microsoft moderator review the subscription's backend registration state and confirm:

• Whether the AllowPrivateEndpoints feature is still available and supported for this subscription.
• Whether the feature registration is stuck in the backend and requires manual intervention.
• Whether there are any subscription, region, or enrollment restrictions preventing registration.
• Whether the feature has been superseded or enabled by default, making explicit registration unnecessary.

If requested by Microsoft, you can provide your Subscription ID privately for investigation. Avoid posting it publicly.
