Hi Team,

I have issue with D365 FO labs. Earlier, i was able to connect to VM and practice the functionality but the i can see the labs option on learning module. So could you please check where this option went and is there any place where we can access the labs.

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A

Hello @Mahesh-1399 I hope you are doing well.

it appears that the Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations (D365 FO) lab environment is no longer being provisioned for the learning module. This is typically due to one of the following:

The lab has been retired or removed from the Microsoft Learn module.
The training content has been updated, and the VM-based lab is no longer included.
There may be a temporary issue with the lab provisioning service.

Please check the following:

Verify that you are signed in with the same Microsoft account you previously used for Microsoft Learn.
Confirm whether the module still lists "Launch VM" or "Exercise" in the instructions.

Must of the time it just a temporarily issue.

Thanks @Jose Benjamin Solis Nolasco for the clarification.

But I wanted to know when the issue will be resolved and we can access the labs for doing Handson practice.

I wanted do Handson in D365 FO. Please let me know if there any alternative that I can use for Handson practice.

Thank you for your follow-up.

Unfortunately, I don't have visibility into Microsoft's internal timeline, so I can't confirm when or if the Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations labs will be restored.

If the lab has been removed from the Microsoft Learn module, it is generally a product or content decision, and only the Microsoft Learn or Dynamics 365 training team can provide an estimated timeline.

In the meantime, you can consider these alternatives for hands-on practice:

Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations Trial environments, if available for your scenario.

A Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations developer environment deployed through the supported lifecycle management options if you have the appropriate licensing or subscription.

Microsoft Learn interactive exercises that do not require a hosted VM.

If your primary goal is to continue learning through the Microsoft Learn module, I also recommend submitting feedback through the Microsoft Learn Support page so the training team is aware that the lab is currently unavailable:

https://learn.microsoft.com/training/support/

Hopefully, the labs will become available again if this is a temporary issue, but at this time there has been no public announcement regarding their return.

If you find any update from the Microsoft Learn team, feel free to share it here, as it may help other learners facing the same issue.
