I just received my kit a couple of days ago. I was able to successfully install the Windows only version of the SDK, talk to the board over USB to get it registered for the contest, get the wifi setup to get an IP assigned, and get the OS updated. However, on the next step when I go through the claim the board steps, I get stuck at the azsphere login command. It has huge minutes long wait times, and then it eventually times out with a red error message that the login command has failed. If I use the command with or without the parameter --newuser bjcollin@hotmail.com , and with or without quotes it still will say registration successful, but it still will not work to login. I checked at the recommended website link in the documentation and I can login and see my Microsoft account properly there, but the azure sphere board does not show up there anywhere that I could find and only my Windows PC looks to be a registered device.
So what do I do next? It won't let me progress to create a tenant without being logged in. Does this service only register with live accounts or are hotmail accounts acceptable? Help. Thank you in advance.
