Partner Registration Penalty Box
I'm trying to register as a partner but getting an error stating "http://www.microsoftintegrity.com/. We engage in a rigorous set of evaluation and certification processes; as a result your request was blocked. If you require further information please reach out to https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?linkid=868372 with reference number: XXXXXXX" The problem is I can't get into the Partner Portal, as I'm not yet a partner, to raise said support request. I've tried to request resolution through Office 365 portal, hoping they'd facilitate contact with partner support but they seem to be confused as to how to facilitate the connection. I have no clue why I'm getting this error as I use the DUNS lookup to provide company information. I've also entered it in by hand. Would love to become a Microsoft partner with my venture but need some support to overcome this "penalty box" Anyone have ideas?Pre-Sales Funded Engagement - Business Apps - CRM Vision & Value - Eligibilty
Hi community we are studying the delivery guide for funded engagement CRM Vision & Value. We have some customer eligibility related questions, so I appreciate some clarification from Microsoft. Thanks! Ralf The provided TCO calculator and the Delivery Guide gives the impression that funding is ONLY available if our prospect migrates from Salesforce to D365 CRM. What if our prospect is ..... 1. ... using Excel sheets to manage support tickets - not eligible for funding? 2. ... using Monday.com, or hubspot to manage sales - not eligible for funding? 3. ... using a self-made application to manage campaigns - not eligible for funding?Join the Fabric Partner Community for this Week's Fabric Engineering Connection calls!

CSP Verification in loop
Hello, I'm trying to verify my business for the CSP program, but I'm stuck in the same loop. Every support representative asks for the same documents, and I send them again and again. But nothing is fixed. It feels like I'm talking to a robot, not a human. I’m just looking for someone to actually review my case, not reset it every time. It’s honestly been really frustrating, and I’d really appreciate it if this could be escalated to someone who can help break the cycle and get this resolved. Thanks in advance.
Microsoft 365 EDU A5 in Partner Benefits
What are the terms and conditions for using Microsoft 365 EDU A5 in Partner Benefits? What purposes can we use these licenses for? For what purposes is this license provided to partners? We want to launch a tenant (non-production) in which our employees will be able to test available services within the O365 platform.
90 Days still no response
For 90 days they have been sending qr link. it gives an error, they close the ticket. I open it again, they send qr link again. but I already have partner and reseller authorisation, they only need to activate the developer. their minds do not even work that much, the same person, the same qr code but their system is so bad that it does not work. there can't be such terrible service. Tracking ID 2505090040013065Microsoft's Verification and Support System
Microsoft's verification and support system is absolutely appalling. Despite providing every piece of required information for my company, their system continues to reject my verification attempts. I've gone above and beyond by paying extra to create additional email accounts in the format email address removed for privacy reasons. I've submitted QR-coded invoices officially verified by government authorities. Our WHOIS data is current and accurate. My name matches perfectly across all documentation and our DUNS number is correct. Yet, I keep receiving the same frustrating response: "This is because the primary contact details did not match." When I reach out through their official support channels, it takes them five days just to respond. It's been two months now, and I'm still waiting for approval just to register. It's absurd that such a large company maintains such a disastrous system. All they need to do is verify real users directly without relying on AI algorithms. They're so focused on automating everything with artificial intelligence that they've created a dysfunctional process. Despite all their technology, humans still remain superior at handling these verification tasks, yet Microsoft seems determined to automate a process they haven't properly designed.MCT New and Renewing MCTs - Update May 29

My Partner Center Account Was Suspended – Need Clarification and Support
Hello Microsoft Tech Community officials, Our Microsoft Partner Center account has been suspended, both as a Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program and as a Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) Indirect Reseller. We did not receive any notification as the reason for the suspension, but I thought that the common reason for the closure of both titles could be the statement “Significant account abuse detected”, but no detailed explanation was shared. Regarding this situation, I would like to point out: We have not knowingly or intentionally violated Microsoft rules or policies in any way. All our activities have been carried out in order to get to know the systems and learn the processes in the journey of becoming a solution partner. At this point, we would like to ask you A clearer explanation of the reason for the suspension, A chance to correct and reassess if there is a mistake, I would like guidance on the steps we need to take to reactivate the account. We value the Microsoft partnership and are ready to cooperate in any way we can to help clarify this process.security score requirements > 80 ?
Hi, I’m a distributor and noticed that there has been an update to the One-Page CSP Improvements Campaign – Authorizations One Pager. Previously, the document specified that a security score above 80 was required. However, I noticed that this requirement is no longer mentioned in the latest version I downloaded. Could you please confirm whether this criterion still applies, or if the only current prerequisites are as follows: Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) must be enabled for all administrative users in the CSP tenant. A security contact must be designated within Partner Center. Security alerts must be responded to within 24 hours or less (not applicable to indirect reseller partners) I would appreciate your clarification on this matter. Ref https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/partner-center/security/security-requirements i See On Update Partner Center Have New Tag Topic Mandatory requirements Or actually, just do this and it will pass the requirements section.
