Description
Hello,
We have the following sample of code we use to list the accounts of a Token "accessible to all organizations". It was working until October 7th. After digging a little deeper into the library, it's trying to get the /_apis/ResourceAreas to presumably get the URLS to the accounts endpoint and calling it directly results in a 500 Internal error after 100 seconds with this payload
{
"$id": "1",
"innerException": null,
"message": "The remote name could not be resolved: 'dpdbotprodwus30.dpdbot.visualstudio.com'",
"typeName": "System.Net.Http.HttpRequestException, System.Net.Http",
"typeKey": "HttpRequestException",
"errorCode": 0,
"eventId": 0
}
Sample code
from azure.devops.connection import Connection
from msrest.authentication import BasicAuthentication
credentials = BasicAuthentication("", token)
connection = Connection(base_url="https://app.vssps.visualstudio.com", creds=credentials)
location_client = connection.clients_v6_0.get_location_client()
accounts_client = connection.clients_v6_0.get_accounts_client()
connection_data = location_client.get_connection_data()
authenticated_user = connection_data.authenticated_user
# This hangs
accounts = list(accounts_client.get_accounts(member_id=authenticated_user.id))
print(accounts)
Is there an issue on the Azure side ? Or perhaps a better way to get the list of accounts for a multi-org personal access token?
Thank you

Research direction
Start by reproducing the sample with azure.devops.connection.Connection, get_location_client(), and get_accounts_client(), then inspect the ResourceAreas request and the accounts client path. Compare the failing response with the documented Azure DevOps account-listing behavior. Done means determining whether the failure is service-side or identifying a supported client/API path for multi-organization tokens.
