How to make a subscription after moving the country - payment

Make a microsoft account, fill in all informations: address, contacts, paying of your country. Also in azure portal set paying and delivery address etc. all correct filled in. No problems so far. Then:
Move to another country, another bank, address, telephone, and change it all to the new country at your microsoft account and in azure portal. Finally try to make a new subscription: Error Azure forces old user informations.
Why is this happening? What am I missing?

Unable to create MS Team free organization account

I'm aware that there are two types of Teams accounts:
MS Team free personal account. https://teams.live.com/
MS Team free organization account. https://teams.microsoft.com/
Unfortunately, when I try to create the organization account (type 2) using this link https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/sign-up-for-teams-free-classic-70aaf044-b872-4c32-ac47-362ab29ebbb1, it just redirects me back to the free personal account (type 1).
Specifically, I need to create the type of free Teams account where you can create an Org, and then inside the Org you can have multiple Teams.
Every time I try to create the account, I always get redirected back to teams.live.com. I've tried multiple links on the Microsoft website, even from the "Business" section. Additionally, I tried with a different email address to see if there was a problem with the account that I was trying to use.
What happened to the free organization accounts?
What email address are you using to create your teams business account? Is it your personal email? If so that might be the case.
You need to use an email address linked to a work or school account (organization account) to be able to create a Teams business account. You also need to be a global admin in that work/school tenant.

PowerBI - Service Principal access

Trying to publish report in PowerBI using Service account. These are steps I did. I'm starting to learn this, so please correct me if I did anything wrong.
Created Microsoft 365 account, as Power BI wont take personal email to sign up.
Signed up for Power BI, activated pro account.
Need to invoke REST method, so I signed in using same Microsoft 365 account to Azure. With this account, when I try to add subscription, its taking me to page to select offers for subscription.
I have another Azure subscription, but I'm not able to change directory of Azure account I created with Microsoft 365, as I need subscription to do that.
So I thought fine, will do a subscription for Microsoft 365, but it has payment information with country defaulting to United States. It wont take my credit card info.
Is this wrong way of doing this automation? How to change directory without subscription, or should I dont even have to do this part?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
If you want to solve the payment info defaulting to USA, you can change your geo location. Use this list to find your Geographical location identifier (Hex)
then use this command to change it
Set-WinHomeLocation -GeoId $hex
Now try inputting your CC info, and it should show your country instead of USA.

Azure Portal Login disabled after Azure AD added

So the situation is this, probably about 18 months ago, I developed a couple app services and deployed to Azure. At the exact same time our in house SA attempted to move our on premise AD into an Azure AD so that was my azure AD account was what I used to provision all my services, data bases etc. For what ever I don't understand, our SA decided to roll everything back a couple weeks later, my account still worked so thought nothing of it.
Now, our SA has re-implemented the Azure AD and I can longer get into my Azure Portal.
I get the message "The Username may be incorrect. Make sire you typed it correctly. Otherwise contact your Admin" I've tried:
Contacting my Admin, "I don't know" was his answer.
Tried the account recovery, selecting the option Work or School Account. Enter my id and get the response "The user ID you entered does not exist. Please check that you have typed your user ID correctly"
Tried the account recovery, selecting Personal Account. Enter my id and get "Try entering your Microsoft account again. We don't recognize this one."
Tried to create a support ticket, but seems I need to log in to create a ticket, which gets me back to the start.
Any body have any ideas, it appears my Microsoft account weather it is a work one or a personal is dead
problem sorted. Turns out that when our SA tried to sync our on premise the second time, he duplicated our accounts, the problem was he deleted the wrong occurrence. Undeleted the Account and got back in.

Azure Management URL

So, finally I decided to jump into the Azure bandwagon and create my own portal. At the moment, my apps are hosted on Google Apps and I'm considering moving them to Azure and O365 before which I wanted to trial and get the taste of MS Azure.
I signed up for a trial subscription and my management URL ended up something like https://manage.windowsazure.com/#MynameMydomainname.onmicrosoft.com. So I decided to delete this account and set up a new account altogether trying to sign up with a new domain alias. And now it is https://manage.windowsazure.com/#MyaliasMydomainname.onmicrosoft.com. MS Support would't help and would want me to sign up for O365 which I don't want to at the moment.
Why my management portal always has my complete e-mail address and how do I edit it?
Edit: Thought would add the following example to explain my problem a bit easier.
My name is Muthu and I already have an e-mail address Muthu#Contoso.com and now I attempt to set-up my Azure around it. I sign up for a Microsoft account with the e-mail address Muthu#Contoso.com, provide my card details and successfully set up the account. Now, the logon URL looks like https://manage.windowsazure.com/#MuthuContoso.onmicrosoft.com and the default directory has the UPN of #muthucontoso.onmicrosoft.com.
I set up an account for a user Eddie, George and Mark and their UPN appears as follows:
Eddie#muthucontoso.onmicrosoft.com
George#muthucontoso.onmicrosoft.com and
Mark#muthucontoso.onmicrosoft.com.
How do I get rid of my name from the domain name here?
P.S.: I managed to get rid of my name from the Management portal URL by simply verifying my ownership of contoso.com using O365 control panel but still couldn't get around to rename the default directory. I can't force my name for the users in my organization just because I signed up for it. There should be some way around. Kindly help.
When loging in you're actually signing in to an aad tenant.. Which is bound to a subscription... As you can have multiple subscriptions and tenants they need to show you where you are

Azure Subscription URL Contains Other Admin's Email Address?

I have two businesses and each has an Azure subscription. I'm an admin for each using my same MS email account.
Bill is only involved in one of the subscriptions, but when I log into my subscription "Local Happenings" (to which Bill should have no access) I still see his email address in the URL.
This picture shows it better:
https://db.tt/kvuccFOO
I'm wondering why this is, and if it could potentially be a problem.
My fear is that if he decides to cancel his business's account, then he will cancel mine or something.
I tried again to create a new subscription to verify I wasn't already logged into his subscription (I used a different browser), but it still shows his email address in the URL.
Anyone have any ideas?
UPDATE 1:
https://db.tt/QHJrfIno
I see that my subscription is under his "default directory". I never selected this when creating my subscription. How do I change this, and is it the culprit?
What shows under the "Active Directory" tab in the management portal for each Subscription? When you say "MS email account" is that an old hotmail-type account or one registered via Office 365 or Azure?
The fact that the account showing in the URL has #XXX.onmicrosoft.com address suggests there is a link back to an Azure Active Directory (AAD) instance. If this is shared between the subscriptions (potentially as a login from it was used to create on of the subscriptions) then this would be the cause.
You need to make sure a non-AAD account is an admin on the subscription so that removal of an associated Azure AD instance will not orphan the subscription.
Have a read of the AAD documentation here for more information: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/azure/dn629581.aspx
