Having same issues.  I have received an email once I added myself to the azure AD, but there was no connection string in the email.

 

I havent managed to connect to the sql db via ssms, ADS, PBI or excel.  same error message each time:

 

"Details: "Microsoft SQL: A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)"

    Hey JoePBI11 
    I was getting this "error 40" myself, and then once I added in the port number (1433) it has moved to "error 0" (citing the connection is being made now - but being rejected by the server). 
    Hoping there's a switch I missed!
