sorry, just curious to know why did the connection string given in the course did not work?

Hi @PoornimaChinnaraj0909,

Not all DNS providers or routing systems support the SRV protocol and hence they fail to resolve the SRV record.

We have updated the lecture notes to add the Standard connection string in the lecture notes as well.

Thanks,
