hi all,
I am doing Part - 6 of AZ 900 and trying to create a "Key Vault" and getting the following error message: "The name 'my-keyvault-NNN' is already in use, or is still being reserved by a vault which was previously soft deleted. Please use a different name."
I have look at the documentation: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/key-vault/general/key-vault-recovery?tabs=azure-portal#list-r...
However, when I am the step where it says: "Manage deleted key vaults", the concerning key vault cannot be found under the subscription.
Please can you help?
Thanks,
Naveen

Had the same issue when trying to use "keyvault1" and "kv1". It worked with "testing1235134134"

@naveen73 So as @Tommykobberoe said, you need global (!) unique name. I've created a quick powershell script to generate random 24 alfa-numeric string, if someone is so unlucky as I was with thinking of unique name.

@nitya041981 it does not matter if you have ever created vault. As mentioned before - these are global unique names. It has to be unique globally. Just use the PS script to generate random vault key name that I've provided.
