Creating Active Directory service in Azure Portal

Question

I'm using Microsoft Azure through my Microsoft Dreamspark account. I need to use Active Directory for a project so I logged into portal.azure.com and went to the Marketplace. The Create button for Active Directory is greyed out and there is the following message underneath it:

NOT YET IN PREVIEW: Go to the Azure portal and start using this service right now.

The link is manage.windowsazure.com/ but when I click it, it redirects me to a bunch of URLs and finally comes back to portal.azure.com which is where I was at before.

Any help would be great!

EDIT Here's what the panel looks like. Notice the greyed out Create button.

I just tried at manage.windowsazure.com and it works as it should. Can you try to log out and log in at manage.windowsazure.com directly to avoid the redirect you are referring to? — Magnus Karlsson

Edit2: I have a one year old mail conversation with billing support where I claimed I had a pending marked on the following image for 24 hours. Can you check yours and say what it says? The problem resolved it self around 24 hours and support claims they didnt do nothing which could be an indication of very long provisioning time. enter image description here

Edit: I think you should wait an hour or two if you just created you BizSpark account. I had the same issue when I created mine. Think it has to do with your account not being provisioned over all required servers.

This is the way it should look at the old portal, it works as it is supposed to, just tried it.

If you are being redirected I suggest you remove your cookies and try to login directly to https://manage.windowsazure.com/

Thanks, but no luck. I cleared cache on Chrome and went straight to manage.windowsazure.com but it still redirected me back to Portal. I also tried it on Firefox where it was the first time I logged into Azure cloud and it still did the same thing.

@Carpetfizz Did you just create your BizSpark user account? See updated answer in that case, otherwise I'll just delete my answer.

ohh that could be the case. Yes, I just created my Dreamspark account maybe less than 2 hours ago. I think you're right about the server provisioning. I'll report back after checking a couple hours from now.

No luck.. It's been 4 hours and my account still does the same thing. Even tried clearing the cache

@Carpetfizz I checked my conversation with billing support and updated my answer accordingly. I haveone BizSpark account left and will set it up tonight and document the process. That would give you a reference for every step taken.
