September 22, 2025 update: After careful review of application trends and evaluating how the End User MCT tier fits into our broader program strategy, we’ve decided to discontinue the tier. The demand has been significantly lower than anticipated, and the offering no longer aligns with the direction we’re taking the MCT program moving forward. A formal announcement will be posted in the MCT Lounge on September 22, providing additional context and outlining next steps. Thanks again for your understanding and ongoing support. Original message: Hi all, Our MCT team has launched a pilot program for a new MCT category called End User Qualification. This is in response to feedback we've received regarding the reduced level of technical skills required to teach our Copilot end user courses. This new status provides an easier path for trainers who are not currently MCTs to meet the requirements to deliver select Copilot courses. This has no impact on current MCTs. Trainers who have completed the AI-900 certification as well as the Instructional Skills Certificate Provider (ISCP) program are permitted to apply, but must be working for a TSP to qualify. Once accepted, the End User Qualification MCTs will be permitted to teach the following: AI-3017, AI-3025, MS-4004, MS-4005, MS-4008, MS-4012, MS-4018, MS-4019, and MS-4023. Deadline for completing End User Qualification onboarding is April 30, 2025. For more information, please see the attached FAQ. Please let me know if you have any questions.[Microsoft Partner Center] Cannot access Collaborate Feedback ID

Hello, In Partner Center, our CSP Indirect Reseller status is currently showing as Deactivated. Because of this, we are unable to manage customers or subscriptions. I would like to know: What are the common reasons this Deactivation occurs? What corrective actions are typically required to reactivate the reseller status? Should this be handled directly with Microsoft Partner Support, or escalated through the assigned indirect provider? Any guidance or best practices from the community would be very helpful. Thank you.10Views0likes0CommentsAnnouncing the Migrated and Modernize Summit - September 23-24

Dear community, We are a Distributor (ex. Ind. Provider) in CSP and we would like you to help us on understanding the changes in our Incentives in FY26. As announced already, starting October 1, 2025, the FY26 levers and rates will be in place. We would like your assistance to determine the two following use case: a) one of our Indirect Resellers has a M365 subscription with monthly commitment and monthly payment. Within September 2025, this specific subscription will give us incentives under the FY25 levers and rates (will be recalculated in February 2026 under the FY26 levers and rates). So, based on the announcement, on October 2025, this subscription will start generating incentives under the FY26 levers and rates. Could you please confirm my understanding or reshape accordingly? b) one of our Indirect Resellers has a M365 subscription with annual commitment and monthly payment, with the renewal of the subscription to be on 15 March 2026. Based on our understanding, until the renewal, this subscription will be generating incentives based on the FY25 levers and rates due to the price protection of the subscription for the whole year, and will switch on generating incentives based on the FY26 levers and rates on the renewal date (i.e., 15 March 2026). Could you please confirm my understanding or reshape accordingly? Really much appreciated in advance for your significant help on this critical topic for our target setting and business decisions. Warm regards, Nick90Views1like5CommentsPartner lockout of Microsoft 365 tenant – looking for advice on next steps
Hello all, I’d appreciate some guidance from the community on a serious situation we are facing. On 12 September 2025, our Microsoft partner unilaterally locked us out of our Microsoft 365 tenant. They retained exclusive Global Administrator / Partner Delegated Admin rights, which means: All staff and directors are unable to access email, Teams, SharePoint/OneDrive, or even log into their Azure AD-authenticated workstations. Our corporate and staff personal data is now inaccessible to us as the controller. Access restoration has been explicitly conditioned on payment of a disputed invoice (not related to Microsoft licence pass-through). This raises several concerns: Operational: we are effectively paralysed. Security/IP: the partner still has exclusive access to proprietary source code and other confidential business data. Compliance: we cannot meet our GDPR/UK DPA obligations on availability of personal data while locked out. We contacted Microsoft Business Conduct on Friday evening with full details of the incident, but so far no human response has been received to those emails. Questions for the community From a Microsoft tenancy perspective – what’s the fastest/most effective way to remove a partner’s delegated admin access if they refuse to release it voluntarily? Has anyone experienced or seen a similar scenario where access was conditioned on disputed payments? Are there formal Microsoft Partner Code of Conduct provisions that directly address this type of misuse of delegated admin rights? Any practical lessons on balancing the technical fix (regaining control of the tenant) with the legal approach (injunction, regulatory notifications)? My focus is on regaining secure access, protecting data/IP, and ensuring compliance. Any experience, insight, or links to Microsoft policy/resources would be greatly appreciated.118Views0likes8CommentsRequest for Private Link Support in Microsoft Office Add-in Store
I'm currently in the process of publishing an Office Add-in. From what I’ve observed in Microsoft’s add-in review process, there doesn’t seem to be a way to create a preview or private link for an add-in published to the store. I’d like to obtain a private link to test the add-in across different platforms before making it publicly available. This would help ensure there are no issues when users install it from the store on various platforms. Other cloud providers, such as Google, offer similar functionality for their Google Workspace add-ons, allowing developers to test and share private versions before public release. Microsoft should consider providing a similar feature for Office Add-ins to support better testing, validation, and rollout strategies71Views0likes1CommentRedeemed Achievement Code under wrong profile
Hello all, I recently completed VILT for the AZ-305 track and unfortunately I redeemed the achievement code under a different MS profile than the one I intended to use.

Me comunico con carácter de urgencia debido a un problema con la confirmación de mi examen de certificación DP-700 (Microsoft Fabric). El día 11 de septiembre de 2025 realicé el pago del examen desde el portal de Microsoft, y el cargo fue procesado exitosamente en mi tarjeta, esto a nombre de Pearson VUE, bajo el concepto WL VUE Testing Ex. Adjunto la captura de pantalla de la operación bancaria correspondiente. Sin embargo, hasta la fecha: No he recibido ningún correo de confirmación de mi cita. Al ingresar mis datos en el formulario que debería redirigirme al portal de Pearson VUE, se muestra un mensaje de “Error inesperado” (adjunto captura de pantalla). Ya me comuniqué con soporte de Pearson VUE, quienes me indicaron que debía elevar la consulta a Microsoft. Posteriormente, desde soporte de Microsoft me derivaron nuevamente a este medio para dejar mi consulta, indicando que la respuesta llegaría en un plazo de 24 a 48 horas. Mi gran preocupación es que la cita del examen está programada para el día 13 de septiembre de 2025 (mañana). Si no recibo confirmación a tiempo y no acudo al centro evaluador, Pearson VUE podría considerar mi ausencia como inasistencia y perdería el dinero ya pagado, sin haber tenido la oportunidad de rendir el examen. Solicito por favor: Confirmación urgente para regularizar mi situación o reprogramar el examen sin perder el monto abonado. Agradezco mucho su apoyo y comprensión, considerando la cercanía de la fecha. Adjunto la captura de mi pago y del error en el portal. https://drive.google.com/file/d/10QKNccjimZL2_bGbi3dqvof5DxjBhp93/view?usp=sharingMS-4010 - No Copilot License in ALH Tenant
Hello, we are trying to deliver MS4010. Our trainers told us that in the tenant of the lab there is no Copilot 365 License available. Is this correct? Can anyone tell us how to deliver Extend M365 Copilot without a copilot license? We tried to get courseware support via the MCT Lounge. But there is no forum anymore to ask these questions. Thanks for any help. Mario
