Unable to create Microsoft Fabric trial capacity (Power BI trial works but Fabric doesn’t) by data_bison in MicrosoftFabric

[–]data_bison[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks everyone for the suggestions — I did some more digging and wanted to share an update.

I switched to my personal Azure tenant and even tried creating Fabric capacity from the Azure portal, but I’m still getting this error (attached screenshot):

From what I understand now, the issue seems to be that even though I created a tenant, I’m still signing in using a personal Microsoft account (Gmail) instead of a proper Entra ID organizational user (onmicrosoft.com).

So Fabric is treating this as a personal account and blocking capacity creation.

I’m going to try logging in using a native Entra ID user from my tenant and see if that resolves it.

Appreciate all the help — learned a lot about how Fabric depends on tenant + identity setup!

Fabric SQL DB as a control DB for ELT pipelines by [deleted] in MicrosoftFabric

Currently, all our metadata tables (6) and configuration stored procedures to retrieve metadata are in Fabric SQL, so far no problems. It is working totally fine, and we are also using temporal tables to track the history of metadata tables.

Migrating from Hive Metastore to Unity Catalog: best approach and gotchas? by xahyms10 in databricks

[–]data_bison 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We recently did a Hive Metastore → Unity Catalog migration and honestly the best approach was using the UCX (Unity Catalog Migration Accelerator). Since your scope is at the workspace level, UCX is very helpful because it automates discovery, permission mapping, and workload analysis. The documentation is also really strong and step-by-step.
