Well, I have been trying to register for one of Microsoft's free e-Learning courses for SQL Server 2005 for the last 24 hours. But each time I try to access I get told I need to register and each time I try to register I get the following:
There was an error while registering you as a Learner. Please try after some time.
I have registered before for other similar courses without any problems, so “after some time” I come back, but still no luck. Darn it! I had set aside some time this weekend to go through this content as I am sitting one of the Beta certifications in a few weeks. I have been collection various online study resources here, but I cannot get into any of the e-Learning courses at this time. I might have to go and blow off some steam on the Xbox for “some time“ :)
[Updated 14 Dec 2005] I was trying to get access to some MCP resources yesterday and it was giving me the same error about being unable to register me as an eLearner. I went into the “Manage Your Profile” link from the MCP site, updated my details there and once that was done I was able to get in to both the MCP site and the eLearning site.
Still no response from MS :( Not that it matters now.
