Microsoft Entra Domain Services - “Validation failed on Basics tab” during creation (Azure for Students subscription)

Hello,

I am trying to create a Microsoft Entra Domain Services instance under my Azure for Students subscription.

However, during the final validation step, I get the following error message:

“Validation failed. Required information is missing or not valid in the following tab(s): Basics”

All required fields (Domain Name, Virtual Network, Subnet, SKU, Region, and Administrator group) have been completed.

Still, the validation fails and does not indicate which field is incorrect.

Here are my settings:

  • Subscription: Azure for Students
  • Resource group: test
  • Region: West US 2
  • Domain name: test.test
  • SKU: Standard
  • Virtual network: (new) aadds-vnet
  • Subnet: (new) aadds-subnet (10.0.0.0/24)
  • Administrator group: AAD DC Administrators

Can Microsoft Entra Domain Services be deployed under the Azure for Students subscription?

Or is there a region restriction that preUser's image

vents deployment?

Thank you.

    Hi,

    Azure for Students restricts which regions you can deploy resources to. Typically you are restricted to five different regions, and these vary for each person. Please confirm you are attempting to deploy to one of your allowed regions using instructions below:

    Please navigate to Azure Policy -- Authoring -- Assignments using link below:

    https://portal.azure.com/#view/Microsoft_Azure_Policy/PolicyMenuBlade/~/Assignments

    Click on assignment named Allowed resource deployment regions

    Examine Allowed locations Parameter value for list of regions, similar to below (regions in screenshot are different than yours):

    The regions shown in your Parameter value are the ones you are allowed to deploy resources to. Please try to create resources in one of these regions and let me know the results.

    Thanks.
