Microsoft Partner Center API - 401 Unauthorized when using access token
I am attempting to retrieve the list of customers from the Microsoft Partner Center API, but I am consistently receiving a 401 Unauthorized error when using the access token obtained from the Microsoft identity platform. Steps to Reproduce: Requesting Access Token I successfully obtained an access token using the following POST request: POST https://login.microsoftonline.com/<tenant_id>/oauth2/token HTTP/1.1 Host: login.microsoftonline.com Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=utf-8 grant_type=client_credentials &client_id=<your_client_id> &client_secret=<your_client_secret> &resource= https://api.partner.microsoft.com In response, I receive a valid access token. Calling Partner Center API I am then using the token in the following API request to retrieve customer information: GET https://api.partnercenter.microsoft.com/v1/customers Authorization: Bearer <access_token> Content-Type: application/json Issue The response to the above GET request is as follows: HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized Content-Length: 0 Could you please assist in identifying why I am receiving the 401 Unauthorized error and what steps can be taken to resolve this issue?
We were unable to verify your Partner Center profile … but were unable to do so
After much back-and-forth (due to a mixture of unclear instructions, a name change and vague rejections) we just got the above message saying: "After several unsuccessful attempts to verify your information, we’ve ended the verification process. No further action will be taken on this profile verification." Which doesn't make a lot of sense—and it is unclear what is supposed to be the next step or appeal process for this? The last message under 'Legal Info' on the portal just reads "This application is insufficient for the requirements of the program." witout further explanation. This verification is essential for publicly launching our Outlook integration, and already is pushing back release schedules as is. Help would be much appreciated!

OV Subscription and M365
Hi Microsoft Community, at the Moment we the following situation with one of our Customers from Germany. The customer has two differrent types of contracts at the Moment, one is a M365 contract and the other one is an Open Value Supscription contract. As an attachment to this E-Mail i share the actual licenses of the Customer with you. The customer has the follwing licenses: M365: 1x Dynamics 365 Customer Voice for Teachers 200x Microsoft 365 A3 for Teachers 5600x Microsoft 365 A3 for Students 5x Microsoft 365 A5 for Teachers 100x Microsoft Teams Telefon Standard for Teachers 25x Microsoft Viva-Suite for Teachers 5x Planner for Project Plan 3 for Teachers 3x Planner for Project Plan 5 for Teachers OV- Subscription: 200 FTE; MS Core CAL Client Access License Suite, incl. Software Assurance. 2x MS Exchange Server Standard, incl. Software Assurance. 200 FTE; MS Project Professional incl. Software Assurance 200 FTE; MS Visio Professional Enterprise Device, incl. Software Assurance 25x MS Windows Remote Desktop Services User CAL 1x MS SQL Server Standard Edition, incl. Software Assurance 2x MS SQL Server Standard Core, incl. Software Assurance, 2 Licenses 320 Cores; MS Windows Server Standard, incl. Software Assurance 48 Cores; MS Windows Server Datacenter Core incl. Software Assurance The customer is a school and can participate at the Microsoft Education programm. Since the last partner of the customerdidnt do a good consulting job and wasnt able to answer the questions of the customer properly, he is now very sensitive about some questions he has. Maybe you can help us with those questions too: With the Microsoft 365 A3 License for Teachers or Students there also comes a Windows 10/11 Desktop Operation System Upgrade to Windows 10/11 Education/Enterprise. Is there a proper Operations system like Windows 11 Pro OEM needed to install the Windows 11 Education Edition on the PCs or can the customer also buy Systems without any Microsoft Operation Systems and install the Windows 11 Education license directly on the Device? To open up a Open Value Subscription Contract there are qualified Products needed. In this case its the Microsoft Core CALs. Are they always needed or is it possible to open a Contract without them? Cause the CALs would already been licensed about the Microsoft 365 A3 Licenses. Is it still true, that when you License all FTEs in a Open Value Subscription contract that you can Provide all those Licenese for the Students too, for example: Visio, Project, Windows Server? If yes, how can the Students get those licenses? Is there still a Microsoft Portal where they can sign up with their school account and can Download those Licenses? Thanks for your help.
