Microsoft 365 admin center support

I am extremely disappointed with the customer support experience associated with Microsoft 365 Business. As a business customer, I expected a reliable support system. Unfortunately, the reality has been the opposite, and I feel compelled to caution others to carefully consider their options before committing their hard-earned money to a Microsoft 365 business subscription.

After purchasing Microsoft Business licenses and transitioning my services from GoDaddy to Microsoft, I lost access to my global admin credentials. This should be a straightforward issue for support to resolve, yet it has turned into a prolonged and frustrating ordeal. For the past two weeks, I have been trying to obtain assistance without success.

I contacted Microsoft support over ten days ago and received a ticket, with the assurance that someone would contact me within 24 hours. No one has reached out to me—not in 24 hours, and not in the ten days since. I attempted to escalate the issue, but even then, no meaningful support was provided.

This level of customer service is unacceptable for any business solution, especially one that organizations rely on for critical operations. It is unreasonable to expect customers to run their businesses effectively without access to timely and competent support.

At this point, I am requesting a refund for the service that has not been delivered, and I strongly urge Microsoft to address the shortcomings in its support system. The support I received from GoDaddy in the past was significantly better.

I hope no other business has to experience this level of frustration, and I sincerely urge Microsoft to acknowledge and fix these issues.

  • Hi,

     

    I completely understand your frustration—losing Global Admin access after migrating from GoDaddy to Microsoft 365 is stressful, especially when it impacts day-to-day business operations. I’m sorry to hear about the experience you’ve had.

     

    Regarding the refund request, this community isn’t able to process or approve refunds. For any billing or subscription-related requests, you’ll need to contact Microsoft Support directly, as they are the only ones who can review and take action on refunds. Participants here are fellow Microsoft 365 users, not Microsoft employees.

     

    That said, I do want to clarify something important about the GoDaddy-to-Microsoft migration issue. In most cases, when Global Admin access is lost due to GoDaddy’s federation, there is no need to contact either GoDaddy or Microsoft Support. The issue can typically be resolved by defederating (disconnecting) GoDaddy from Microsoft 365, which restores full administrative control.

     

    I’ve documented the exact steps here:

    Following this process has helped many customers regain access quickly without waiting on support queues.

     

    I hope this helps you resolve the admin access issue as soon as possible, and I agree that Microsoft should continue improving response times for business-critical support cases.

     

    Wishing you the best in getting this sorted out quickly.
