Failed to create an Azure Sphere tenant

agent1174
agent1174 over 6 years ago

I have been trying to setup azure sphere under my school account. I noticed when I login to Azure i get a message "You are not eligible for an Azure subscription". I'm thinking this isn't going to work well with azure sphere so I create/login to a private .onmicrosoft account but now I get an error "Unable to create a Azure Sphere tenant". I did not claim my device on my school account but I did create a tenant. What could be the problem? Have I gone beyond the point of no return by creating a tenant under my school account?

    Are we beginning to understand why they are giving them away ! (I think it's fairly clear that it's a work in progress.) For my own part I hadn't realised that you can only run the MS tools under Windows…

    Have you got more details of the error. You may find that you need to add a new user to to Azure subscription first, as described here:

    I have followed the instructions at that link and I have added a new user to my AAD. I can log in to the new user through Azure Sphere but when I try to create a tenant I get the same error. Can you confirm/deny that creating a tenant is a one time operation per device? I am reading conflicting information on this.

    Note:

    1) Creation of a new tenant account with a particular device attached, is only allowed once

    2) The attached device can only be "claimed" to a tenant once

     

    To check if you've already created a tenant under your AAD, use the following command:

    azsphere tenant list

     

    PS: Two tips in context of azsphere commands:
    - suffix the command with -? for help on that command

    - suffix the command with -v for verbose output from that command

    When I run the command "azsphere tenant list" under my .onmicrosoft login I get the following output:

     

    warn: No Azure Sphere tenants found under the selected AAD user.

    warn: Use 'azsphere login' to change AAD user, or create a new Azure Sphere tenant using 'azsphere tenant create'.

    error: You do not have access to any Azure Sphere tenants.

    error: Command failed in 00:00:52.6463894.

     

    When I run the same command logged into my school account I get

     

    warn: The selected Azure Sphere tenant has been set to 'Wild Frontier NET' (3d179f1b-150c-442e-be4a-14c0c5b15223).

    Successfully logged in with the selected AAD user. This authentication will be used for subsequent commands.

    Command completed successfully in 00:03:29.4363306.

     

    So am I correct in my understanding that I have essentially bricked my device by creating a tenant under an account that has no Azure subscription access?

    This not a situation I've encountered before. I recommend re-posting your most recent summary (+ any additional info that may help the Microsoft tech support team) as a support ticket on the Microsoft-hosted Azure Sphere support forum at https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home?forum=azuresphere/

    If this is your post on MSDN, I suggest provide the additional detail and re-specify the question

    Per the clarification on this topic, at the Microsoft MSDN support forum:

     

    Use of different work/school accounts for your Azure Sphere tenant and Azure subscription does not "brick" your Starter Kit, it just adds uneccessary complexity

     

    If a tenant already exists, do NOT create another one unless your company/organization has good reason for doing so!

    Microsoft recommends each company/organization only creates one Azure Sphere tenant.

     

    Note: Beyond the one-time tenant assignment, Microsoft enables a variety of deployment mechanisms to support OTA updates of different SKUs, SKU sets, regional versions, etc
