Hi,

One option would be to use nslookup to determine the region. For example, say the target key vault url is mykeyvault.vault.azure.net, you could use command prompt and enter below command:

nslookup mykeyvault.vault.azure.net

In the output, you might see something similar to below:

Name: azkms-prod-wus-b.westus.cloudapp.azure.com

Which would let you know that it is in region West US.
