PowerBI Enterprise Gateway - Status code: 'Unauthorized'

All -

 

I have purchased a PowerBI Pro license and tried to install and configure Enterprise Gateway. After getting "install successfully" when I click on "Signin to PowerBI" to configure by gateway it throws an error with Status code: 'Unauthorized'. I looked at the gateway logs and found below message -

But when I use by company account which has AD synced with Azure, I am able to do the same steps on the same server and it works fine. Has anyone seen this before and had got a fix?

 

Thanks,

Shabbir

@shabbirmala So you have a seperate Power BI Account with a different domain that you are trying to install a second Gateway on a machine that already has one for your company domain to point to your other account?

The one with error is something I am trying for a client and they dont have Azure AD synced (just purchased a Pro account for his email) and the one which worked fine is my company license with AD sync. Does that answer your question?

@shabbirmala ok. Seperate account, seperate domains.

I'm assuming that you are using his credentials to set up the gateway? Is he an admin on the box/computer?

Yes. He is in the administrators group.

Did you ever get this sorted out @shabbirmala, I've got pretty much exactly the same log file as you did.

 

 

No not really! We just created a new PowerBI Pro account for that client and it worked with the new one. 🙂

@shabbirmala Have you seen this thread? There are a couple suggested posts that worked for others. Selection of "Work/School" vs Personal, etc.
