How can I resolve error "AADSTS500200: User account <email_address> is a personal Microsoft account. Personal Microsoft accounts are not supported for this application unless explicitly invited to an organization" for Learn Sandbox creation?

Question

I am attempting to work through some of the certification courses on Learn, but when asked to work through an exercise on the sandbox, I receive the error outlined in the title. I have completely logged out of all MS apps, cleared my cache, and even tried using an incognito window.

Is there a way to work through these exercises if you are not associated with an organization?

Hi Ryan,

Please my instructions below a try and let me know if you have any issues.

You should be able to work around 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

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.
