How to recover global admin access to tenant
I have already tried posting this to the general Microsoft Q&A forums and received no response. We are desperate to figure something out so if this is not the correct line of communication, please direct me to where I should go. My company is in a bit of a bind right now, and I am at my wit's end after almost a week of trying to get in contact with anyone who could help. We have multiple directories in Azure that belong to us, but they are all independent of each other. As such, some directories have multiple global admins (and thus are not an issue); others -- and quite frankly, the most important ones -- only have one global admin, and it was our DevOps person, who is no longer employed with us. We have no way of accessing his account, and thus no way of accessing a global admin account for these directories/tenants. Access to these directories is critical to our operations. We were informed last Friday by someone from the data protection team that they could not give us access to these tenants we pay thousands of dollars a month for because: Our former DevOps person registered all other users as guests/external users, and DPT "can't give external users admin permissions", and To reset the MFA of the current global admin account, the owner of the account (who no longer works for our company) would need to contact them and verify their identity What options do we have here? We have blobs full of user-uploaded files in these tenants. Starting over from scratch is a doomsday scenario we are trying everything we can to avoid. Surely there has to be something that can be done?
Azure for Students Sign-Up Eligibility Issue - Session b91dcbf5-b6ee-40a7-aa2a-05faf7ca04da
Hello, I am writing to request assistance regarding an eligibility issue I encountered while trying to sign up for the Azure for Students offer (MS-AZR-0170P). When attempting to sign up using my institutional email address, I received the following message: "You're not eligible for an Azure free account." Relevant details of my attempt: Email address used: email address removed for privacy reasons Session ID: b91dcbf5-b6ee-40a7-aa2a-05faf7ca04da Timestamp (UTC): 9/7/2026 10:29:52 Offer: MS-AZR-0170P (Azure for Students) I am a full-time student at STLCC College, an accredited degree-granting institution, and I am 18 years of age or older. This is my first attempt to sign up for an Azure for Students subscription, and I have not previously held any Azure subscription or free trial under this or any other identity. Could you please investigate why my academic status was not successfully verified, and let me know what steps I need to take to complete my sign-up? I have double-checked that my profile information (email, contact details) is accurate and does not conflict with any existing Microsoft account. Thank you for your help — I look forward to your response. Best regardsHTTP 504 timeouts during high-volume API and webhook syncs
Hello Microsoft Tech Community, We are testing background listener stability and remote webhook payload handling when integrating enterprise Azure telemetry endpoints into automated systems. Technical Setup: Our integration architecture at Frontline Sales Consultancy (flsc.co.uk) triggers automated B2B notifications and REST API syncs over HTTPS (TLS 1.3). The Issue We're Facing: Under heavy concurrent load spikes, background POST webhook listener sockets occasionally report HTTP 504 gateway timeout responses before acknowledging payload completion. Direct REST API requests to the same remote host resolve normally under 150ms thresholds. Are there recommended network socket keep-alive settings, Azure App Service timeout adjustments, or queue worker retries to prevent connection drops during high-volume data syncs? Any advice on managing asynchronous background worker threads would be appreciated! Thanks!
AADSTS5000228 - Locked Out of Trial Tenant
I created a free trial tenant, and was immediately locked out. Upon doing research, I basically discovered that the tenant is locked due to unknown reasons, and I have to contact support. I have tried calling 4 different support numbers a total of 8 times. I have never made it through the laughable automated phone system to a real person, I eventually get hung up on for no reason. I've tried creating chats from personal accounts to basically just be told to log in with my new tenant account and submit a ticket. I can't log in, I would love to be able to log in. I am at a loss for what to do. I can't open a case. I can't call a number. I can't log in. Does anyone have any advice on how to get this taken care of? At this point, I just want to cancel the tenant so when the auto-renew comes up, it doesn't charge my card.How to run failed Tests in Azure DevOps

Hi folks, I need to apply a Slowly Changing Dimension (SCD) using Azure Databricks with data from an on-premise Business Central database. I want to build a medallion architecture. I am bringing the tables to the bronze level by selecting data incrementally using the field _systemModifiedAt. For building the silver level, I want to perform a Merge using the field _systemId. Is this possible? Specifically, is _systemId a unique identifier for every record in all the tables of Business Central, allowing me to apply a Merge for SCD? When a record changes in Business Central, does it produce a new record in the database table with the same _systemId but with updated information? Many thanks! Jorge.
