Scheduling exam with PearsonVUE fails with authentication cannot find my account

Hi, I am trying to schedule an exam with pearsonVue. it is the AZ-900. After logging in to my certification profile i select the exam and from there the option Schedule with PearsonView. From there i am lead to a new login screen (even though i am already logged in with a valid token etc.) and when i type my work email, with which i am already logged in, I just get the error message that this email is not a valid MIcrosoft account.

What should I do in order to be able to register for the exam?

If I try with my hotmail account, i get successfully logged in, but then it says that it cannot locate my profile. This makes perfect sense, since my profile is associated with the account, which it claims is not a valid Microsoft account! Rather wiered catch 22 situation....

Hi Svetoslav,

Thank you for contacting the Microsoft Community.

I understand that you've faced some errors using your accounts when trying to schedule for an exam. Let me be of help.

Please be advised that you can only use a Microsoft account/personal email when signing in to the Microsoft Certification Dashboard. The Learning site will allow you to sign in using an organizational/work email however, in accessing or scheduling an exam, it will only allow a personal email address.

To successfully schedule an exam, it is important that you have filled all the areas marked with an asterisk and update it by removing any special characters from your profile information. Make sure as well to sign in using your Microsoft Account associated to your Certification profile.

Also, as part of the troubleshooting, clearing your cache and cookies will also help if you are still having problems in scheduling the exam. 

Once done, please retry to access your Certification profile to schedule your exam and may visit register and schedule exam page for further guidance. 

Should the same issue persist, please provide us with the PSR (Problem Steps Recorder) of the incident starting from the sign in page until you reach the error message through the private message.

On the other hand, for immediate assistance in exam registration, please reach out to your testing center as they can identify the seats available to have your exam scheduled on your preferred time and date. You may refer to their contact details provided below: 

I look forward to your response. Please note that if no response is received after two business days, the case will be closed and locked. After the case is locked, we will no longer be able to respond, even through Private Messages. Thank you.
