  1. Provider Namespace: Microsoft.Network
  2. Feature Name: AllowPrivateEndpoints
  3. Current State: Pending (for over 4 hours)
  4. Troubleshooting Performed: I have already attempted to re-register the feature via CLI and re-registered the Microsoft.Network resource provider, but the status remains "Pending."

az feature show --namespace Microsoft.Network --name AllowPrivateEndpoints --query properties.state This is pending every since I issued this command
az feature register --namespace Microsoft.Network --name AllowPrivateEndpoints
Its already been more than 5 hours now.

Hello Anurag Choudhary

Feature registration can take up to 48 hours to complete. If it's been less than that, you may just need to wait a bit longer.

Make sure there are no other dependencies or prerequisites that haven't been met. Some features may require specific configurations or settings in your resources.

  1. Re-register the Resource Provider: Since you've already tried re-registering via CLI, you might want to do it again with a slightly different approach: 
       Register-AzProviderFeature -FeatureName AllowPrivateEndpoints -ProviderNamespace Microsoft.Network
  2. Delete and Recreate: If it remains stuck after trying the steps above, a common solution is to delete the affected resource and recreate it. Make sure that when you recreate, all required configurations are correctly applied.

Check Registration Status Again

Azure PowerShell

az feature show --namespace Microsoft.Network --name AllowPrivateEndpoints --query "properties.state"
  1. If it still shows Pending, continue with the next steps.
  2. Retry Provider Registration Sometimes re-registering the provider helps:

Azure CLI

az provider register --namespace Microsoft.Network

If you're still having trouble, here are a few questions that might help narrow down the issue:

  1. How long has it been since you ran the registration command?
  2. Can you confirm that your Azure subscription has the appropriate permissions to finalize the feature registration?
  3. Have you recently made any changes to your Azure environment that could affect Microsoft.Network?

I hope this has been helpful!
