Transferring MS Course Content from Work to Personal Account
I'm ending my contract with my previous employer and need to transfer Microsoft course content (courses w/progress) from my work MS account to a personal MS account. It's my understanding I do this through MS Learn. Can you guide me through the steps?Want to Assist with Exam, Assessment, or Learning Development?

CI/CD GitHub Deployment from Dev to UAT Synapse Workspace not Picking Up UAT Resources
Hello, I am setting up CI/CD for Azure Synapse Analytics using GitHub Actions with multiple environments (Dev, UAT, Prod). My Synapse resources are: Dev: ************-dev, azcalsbdatalakedev, calsbvaultdev, SQL DB azcalsbazuresqldev / MetaData UAT: ************-uat, azcalsbdatalakeuat, calsbvaultuat, SQL DB azcalsbazuresqluat / MetaData Prod: ***********-prod, azcalsbdatalakeprod, azcalsbvaultprod, SQL DB azcalsbazuresqlprod / MetaData I have environment-specific parameter override files like uat.json and prod.json. My GitHub workflows (synapse-dev.yml, synapse-uat.yml, etc.) deploy the Synapse publish artifacts (TemplateForWorkspace.json and TemplateParametersForWorkspace.json) with those overrides. Issue: When I run the UAT workflow, deployment completes successfully but the UAT Synapse workspace still shows Dev resources. For example, linked services like LS_ADLS still point to azcalsbdatalakedev instead of azcalsbdatalakeuat. What I have tried: Created overrides for UAT (uat.json) with correct workspace name and connection strings Checked GitHub workflow YAML to confirm the override file is being passed in the az deployment group create step Verified that Dev deployment works fine Tried changing default values in linked services JSON but behavior is inconsistent Questions: Is there a specific way to structure override files (uat.json) for Synapse CI/CD deployments so environment values are correctly replaced? Do I need separate branches in GitHub for Dev, UAT, and Prod, or can I deploy to all environments from main with overrides? Has anyone else seen linked services or parameters still pointing to Dev even after a UAT deployment? Any guidance, best practices, or sample YAML and override examples would be very helpful. Thanks in advance.Microsoft Learning Rooms Weekly Roundup 9/24

Certification tied to MS Learn account that cannot be logged into despite email access
Greetings, Hoping to get some help with this. Sort of a doom loop. Going in circles with support via ticketing system for weeks now. Certification expires in 5 days or so. Background: In September 2024, earned SC-200 and it was associated with my work email/Microsoft account. Still have access to that email/account. Nothing has changed. Problem: Now, when logging in with the email address/Microsoft Account that the certification was earned under, I get a new Microsoft learn profile with no accomplishments, training records, etc. I have complete records, including screen shots, emails, receipts for exam payment, etc. I confirmed with Pearson that my email address is associated with the exam attempt. Support has escalated the ticket to some higher level, but this hasn't gone anywhere yet.What are all the ways to get discount or free vouchers for Microsoft certifications?
Hello Microsoft Learn Community, I am looking for a comprehensive overview of all the current ways to obtain free or discounted exam vouchers for Microsoft certifications. I am aware of the following primary methods: Microsoft Cloud Skills Challenges Microsoft Learn Training Days Could you please help me complete this list? My main questions are: Besides the two methods mentioned, are there any other ongoing programs or lesser-known ways to get vouchers? Is there a central hub or page where all active voucher opportunities are listed? What is the best way to stay informed about new voucher campaigns as they are announced? Thank you in advance for sharing your knowledge and experience. Your help is greatly appreciated. Best regards

I don't know if this is the right place to ask, but can't find 'ask a question' in the community groups! I've been getting loads of spam lately and I want to block the sender. The option is greyed out on my phone and doesn't appear to be away to get it 'ungreyed'. I can do it on the PC no problem. Any suggestions or point me in the right direction. Thanks.
Outdated Official Practice Tests
Does Microsoft Learn also oversees and keeps in touch with MeasureUp regarding content updates of the practice tests, video training, virtual labs, and other materials on their website? So AZ-500 was updated last Sept. 24, 2020. My email communication with MeasureUp. Oct. 29 - "We are currently working on an update for the AZ-500 Practice Test, which we plan to release at the start of November." Nov. 2 - "We are now planning to launch the update for the AZ-500 Practice Test in mid-November or late-November at the latest." It's now Nov. 30 and on the 'Upcoming products and refreshes' page on their website, they now changed it from 'Nov. 2020' to 'Dec. 2020' for AZ-500. https://www.measureup.com/upcoming It now has low feedback and rating in mindhub: https://global4.mindhub.com/az-500-microsoft-azure-security-technologies-microsoft-official-practice-test/p/MU-AZ-500 So it's now a 2-month gap going 3 most likely given the upcoming holidays. So there's a possibility of January 2021 release. Is this normal? I actually bought the practice test (Nov. 5 - $109) and planning to purchase the virtual labs and video training to supplement the knowledge. I also have the Whizlabs practice test ($18) and their rep told me that theirs is updated and reflects the changes made last Sept. 24, 2020.[RECORDING] – From Stream to Screen: Real-Time Intelligence in Microsoft Fabric

Unable to give certification renewal exam despite being eligible
I am unable to give microsoft certification renewal exam despite being eligible, and certificate is not expired yet. In the certification tab under credentials it shows I am eligible for renewal assessment - However, when clicking on Renew this certificate, I am getting error that, I need a certification first ,in order to renew it. Because, of this my certification is going to expire. And there is no contact details to raise this technical issue. Why microsoft learner support is so inconvenient.Seek Providing the File/Path and Folder for Exclude Scan by EDR

Hello, I am a student at a public university in Germany (Information Systems). I followed the steps described here to get the student discount: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/credentials/certifications/student-discounts#student-discounts However, the process does not seem to work as expected. I don’t see any option for student verification, and the exam price has not changed. I also noticed that other students reported the same issue. What can I do to verify my student status and actually receive the discount? Thank you! S.Darsija🎊Microsoft NextGen Heroes – Season 2 is almost here!

Hi all, I wanted to quickly to write to show how I thought about building a system based on Azure to allow my blogsite to answer questions about a blog post that a reader may suddenly have in their mind while reading through the post to extend learning. The basic flow is: -User loads a blog post -On load, the page populates 3 buttons a third of the way in the page, each with randomly AI generated questions related to the page that a reader might ask about the page content -On clicking a button, the question is answered through voice, with the answer being 'just' enough to answer the question without being over-bearing (at least that's my feeling!) The architecture is constructed as the following: I wrote in full on how I did this for my blog here : https://www.imaginarium.dev/voice-ai-for-blog/ I wanted to perhaps hear on if I was missing anything here on the design, security considerations particularly on the Azure side? Any ways to improve on the AI Voice implementation? I'm using the Azure OpenAI neural voices at the moment. Gemini voices lately are really good too!! I even thought about using a custom neural voice of my own but I ran into issues when trying to do that within Azure due to not having an enterprise subscription readily available to be allowed this capability. Thoughts?Windows 11 lock screen bug
We are having an issue where some users cannot log back into windows 11 after going to a lock screen. Windows will tell you the password or username is incorrect even though the credentials are defiantly correct. The only solution I've found so far is to reboot the machine. What could be causing this? Our users are loosing unsaved work from having to reboot through out the day.Stuck on a register loop when logging in to Microsoft Learn
When I log in to Microsoft Learn, I am transferred to a register page: --- Before registering with this Microsoft Account, please check if you may have previously registered with a different account. -- Even though I have a account that before. I can complete the registration process and view my profile, but when I try to access ms learn content, the registration process restarts. So I can only read ms learn content as logged out. But then my progress is not saved, and I cannot do Applied Skills or register for a exam, that I had planned to do on Friday next week. I have restarted my computer, tried incognito mode, other browsers (Edge/Chrome) and also on Android phone (Edge/Chrome), both on Wifi and Cellular, but the same happens there. So the problem should not be on my side. I have had help from Microsoft Support Ambassador that tried to get past this error, but after a while he/she directed me to this support forum. Regards, /Tommy
