Hi All,

I'm trying to provision a Unified Development Environment (UDE) for Dynamics 365 Finance using the official Microsoft PowerShell-based approach, as demonstrated in the Microsoft videos.

1.I successfully ran the first 3 commands but failed while running the final command(which is 4th in below).

1. Import-Module Microsoft.PowerApps.Administration.PowerShell
2.Add-PowerAppsAccount -Endpoint prod
3. $jsonObject = @"
{
"PostProvisioningPackages": [
{
"applicationUniqueName": "msdyn_FinanceAndOperationsProvisioningAppAnchor",
"parameters": "DevToolsEnabled=true|DemoDataEnabled=true"
}
]
}
"@ | ConvertFrom-Json

4.New-AdminPowerAppEnvironment -DisplayName "UnifiedDevEnvironment1" -EnvironmentSku Sandbox -Templates "D365_FinOps_Finance" -TemplateMetadata $jsonObject -LocationName "Asia" -ProvisionDatabase

Getting error like below..

Code : 500

Hi Charan,

Do you have Dynamics 365 licenses on the tenant where you try to deploy this environment? Do you have Dataverse capacity available to create a new environment?

I am facing similar issue, I do have enough Dataverse space, I managed to deploy one environment a few months ago but now I am getting the very useful internal error.

Is there a way that we can get more information of what went wrong?

I have tried with same commands as you are doing and by choosing the same region(Asia), the one, in which you are trying to deploy. It worked for me, without any issues. I was able to deploy the environment.

Error messages does not have enough information, (Message=;)

Have you retried deploying after a while? If you continue receiving this generic message, you may want to open a support ticket with Microsoft.

Hi charan12,

The Error 500 (Internal Server Error) you're encountering during the provisioning of a Unified Development Environment (UDE) for Dynamics 365 Finance via PowerShell is most likely related to one of the following issues:

✅ Common Causes and Fixes

Missing or Incorrect Licensing

Ensure that your tenant has the correct Dynamics 365 Finance license. Without it, the provisioning process will fail even if the PowerShell commands are syntactically correct [1].

Insufficient Dataverse Capacity

Check your Dataverse storage quota. Even if you have 15 GB free, some environments require specific capacity allocations. You can verify this in the Power Platform Admin Center [1].

User Role and Permissions

The user executing the script must have the necessary admin roles in both Power Platform and Dynamics 365. Assign roles like Environment Maker, System Administrator, and Power Platform Admin if not already present [1].

Region-Specific Limitations

The LocationName parameter (e.g., "Asia") must match a supported region for the selected template. Try switching to a more commonly supported region like "Europe" or "North America" [2].

Template or Metadata Issues

Double-check the TemplateMetadata JSON structure. Even minor formatting issues can cause the provisioning to fail. Also, ensure the applicationUniqueName is valid and available in your tenant [2].

Transient Backend Errors

Sometimes, the error is due to a temporary issue on Microsoft’s backend. Retry the command after some time or try provisioning via the Power Platform Admin Center UI to confirm if the issue persists.

🛠️ Additional Tips

Use the DomainName parameter to avoid generic URLs and improve environment naming.

Avoid line breaks in the final PowerShell command—ensure it runs as a single line[2].

Monitor provisioning status via Lifecycle Services (LCS) or Environment Monitoring in Power Platform[3].

Let me know if you'd like help validating your JSON or adjusting the region and parameters.

Thanks and best regards,

Daniele
