Migrate SQL Workloads to Azure SQL Database applied skills lab bug

Today I tried for the second time to take the Migrate SQL Workloads to Azure SQL Database applied skills lab (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/credentials/applied-skills/migrate-sql-workloads-azure-sql-database), but I couldn't do it again due to an error in the lab itself. On the first attempt, Azure Data Studio was freezing, which prevented me from evaluating the databases. In the second attempt (today) the 5 user databases were not inside the Azure SQL VM. These bugs need to be fixed as soon as possible! Thanks!

    During the Applied Skills assessment “Migrate SQL workloads to Azure SQL Database”, Step 5 (Register Integration Runtime) consistently fails with “AuthKey1 has NOT been registered successfully”.

    The runtime service is already running, the key file is correctly placed in C:\SQLMigration\AuthKey1.txt, and both Key1 and Key2 were tested.

    Since the VM runs as a standard user with no admin rights, the usual fixes (reinstall runtime, restart service, re-register via configuration manager) cannot be performed.

    Similar runtime registration failures are documented in Microsoft forums and StackOverflow, typically caused by runtime connectivity or configuration problems that cannot be fixed inside a restricted lab environment.
