They were all created in opinsights because the fact I added 3 different management groups in their respective SCOM console. No sweat of course. I now build 1 management group in my lab environment where I configured everything so I wanted to get rid of the other workspaces. Turns out there are 2 ways you can delete a workspace and in fact this was not clear in the beginning. How to get to the “close workspace” option The remove option is well hidden in the menu’s to probably avoid deletion by accident which is actually a good thing but it’s a little bit too...

A wokspace is basically the same as your management group in SCOM. It contains all the differernt Solutions, connected datasource and azure account to start working. You can have several workspaces based with one account but interaction between different workspaces is not possible.

Next up we need to link the Azure subscription we have associated to our Microsoft or corporate account. Note that having an Azure subscription is not a prerequisite for this step (you can just click not now) but it is highly recommended.
To make sure you are the proper owner of the email (note that it doesn’t have to be an email that is by default the email address associated to your account) Microsoft is sending you...
