PowerBI Gateway - Personal - Unable to connect

I seem to be having a difficult time getting PowerBI Gateway - Personal to connect during the install. It prompts me to sign-in and attempts to connect and then an error. Error is specifically stating that the connection failed.

 

Any ideas on how to get this working? Followed every step through the way so I'm not sure why it isn't working. 

My windows environment is 64-bit as well as it's a VM. In the process of creating a Demo to connect to Dynamics NAV demo database. However the gateway isn't connecting.

@a_mixed_life Have you run through all the troubleshooting steps outlined here?

Yes I have. 

 

The VM (Windows) is not part of a domain/AD so there's no Group Policy associated. It is a clean VM install and just recently installed Dynamics NAV 2016 Demo. I'm designing it so that I can demo the process.

 

There isn't any prior Gateway install as well so I'm not sure why it continues to fail.

 

Continues to error out with "Registering the Analysis Service Connector failed: Reconnecting".

@a_mixed_life I don't have the specific answer at the moment, maybe someone else can chime in. But I suspect it's because you are trying to connect a gateway from an unrecognized domain into your Power BI Service (which is tied directly to your domain/allowed domains via Azure AD)
