Hi @MD IRFAN ,

The error SqlServerRegionDoesNotAllowProvisioning indicates that the selected region usgovvirginia is currently not allowing Azure SQL logical server creation for your subscription, which is required for Synapse workspace deployment.

As an initial troubleshooting step, please verify that the Microsoft.Sql and Microsoft.Synapse resource providers are registered on the subscription. If they are already registered, try re-registering Microsoft.Sql and then attempt the deployment again.

Additionally, please try creating the Synapse workspace in a different supported Azure Government region and let us know the outcome. This will help determine whether the issue is specific to US Gov Virginia or affects the subscription more broadly.

SqlServerRegionDoesNotAllowProvisioning means the selected region is currently not allowing creation of the Azure SQL server dependency required for a Synapse workspace for that subscription.

Try these steps:

In Azure portal, go to Subscriptions > select the subscription > Settings > Resource providers.
Verify these providers are registered:
- Microsoft.Synapse
- Microsoft.Sql
- If needed, also register: Microsoft.Network, Microsoft.Storage, Microsoft.ManagedIdentity, Microsoft.Compute, Microsoft.Authorization.
Retry the deployment in a different region.
If the region must be usgovvirginia and registration is already complete, open an Azure Support quota/capacity request for SQL Database / SQL Server for that region.

Also verify the Synapse prerequisites while creating the workspace:

The workspace needs an Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 account.
The storage account used as primary storage must have hierarchical namespace enabled.
In the portal flow, if prompted that Microsoft.Synapse must be registered, register it from Subscriptions > Resource providers.
