Microsoft has a developer program that offers a licensed tenant designed for Azure development work and testing, but it is not relevant to GCC work. There will be many features that will be enabled in this tenant that will work differently or not be available at all for GCC tenants. We already have a GCC tenant, but it is not safe to “test” in our live tenant. We can add a second directory for testing, but then it has no licensing. So, we would not be able test anything requiring licensing and we are not able to purchase licensing just for testing. Is there a process to get no cost licensing for a secondary GCC tenant used for development and testing? Since the test tenant doesn’t physically need to be in the GCC cloud and only needs to act like at GCC tenant, is there any method to use the existing developer Azure tenant program and configure it to function like a real GCC tenant would?652Views0likes2CommentsHave you watched the latest Microsoft 365 Gov community call on Power Platform?

This issue on GitHub has been languishing unacknowledged for the past three years. Since the elder days of yore, the Win32 Content Prep tool - the only option for deploying non-MSI applications through Intune - has been unable to operate on and endpoint which has been FIPSed. This process has caused much consternation among those of us who must, by reason of government directive, FIPS ourselves and our endpoints for the security of the nation. I would humbly beseech those who create the great and powerful content prep tool to update it with support for FIPS so that those of us who wish to use it can do so.

If a customer has Microsoft G3 licenses in a GCC (government tenant) sold through a CSP Agreement, do they have on-premises VDA rights? The Windows Enterprise component of the Microsoft G3 is not available today when purchased through CSP, however I am wondering if they would still get on-premises VDA rights since they are paying for this functionality.
