Can't Enroll for Microsoft Partner Program
Hi, I am trying to create my company profile: Veritas Analytica on Microsoft Partner Portal with my company email ID: mailto:email address removed for privacy reasons. Upon clicking Send Code for verification, it generates an unexpected error. When we tried to contact support for this enrollment issue, it was not making the option clickable for us. We got stuck in an endless loop of signing in and out of our work account. Please let us know how we can fill in our company details and get our company enrolled for Microsoft Partner Network. Best, Manal Mustafa.š¤Finding alignment with Channel partners as an ISV?
Hi all! We're new to the MS ecosystem. Spent the last 15 years developing products for the Salesforce ecosystem, which is very direct sales heavy. We've launched our app https://marketplace.microsoft.com/en-us/product/Office365/WA200008222 which is a native and robust integration between Salesforce and Microsoft Teams. We listed just this year in March 2025. We're attending Microsoft Ignite for the first time, and it's clear we need to have a channel partner strategy. Microsoft claims there are over 500k partners - my question to the group (especially ISV partners): how do you find channel partners effectively that align to your product and strategy? Where do we even start? We obviously have an affinity towards partners that serve Saleforce and MS Teams customers. Thanks in advance!!How to Check on Partner Portal TSP status
Hi team, we have received the Welcome email for the Tyrannising Service Partner program after we have registered. However , in Partner portal we cannot see any status or when I tried to click on the Terracing Service Partner section it shows the error as attached. Or any other way to verify.

New Training Services Partner Onboarding Update
Hello new TSPs. We are currently updating the onboarding process to provide better communications around process and timing. While we work to update, please send me a private message if you have completed the onboarding form and you are currently waiting on a response. I anticipate this workaround to last for a few weeks and for us to have a new process in place in January. Once the update is complete and the normal process resumes, I will delete this thread. Thanks, Dan
Unable to Register - "Legal Entity Already Exists" Error - Cannot Access Support
Hello, I'm trying to register for the Microsoft Partner Network to obtain an MPN ID for Azure app publisher verification, but I'm stuck in a catch-22 situation. The Problem: When registering through Partner Center, I receive this error: "A legal entity matching the request payload already exists when creating the legal entity" The Catch-22: I cannot create a support ticket because: - Partner Center help form requires selecting a workspace - I cannot create/access a workspace without completing registration - I cannot complete registration due to the duplicate entity error What I've Tried: - Searching for existing accounts within my organization - no one knows of any - Attempting to create a support ticket - blocked by the workspace requirement - Looking for alternative support channels - all redirect back to Partner Center What I Need: Either help locating an existing account for my company, obtaining the existing MPN ID, or resolving the duplicate registration issue. Has anyone successfully resolved this? Is there a direct contact at Microsoft Partner Support who can help? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
Flagged for āserious compliance violationsā ā possible TAUX0 / third-party data mix-up?
Hello everyone, Iām posting here to see if anyone has experienced something similar or has any guidance. My company has been operating since 2006 as an IT/consulting firm. All members / staff are fully vetted, currently hold active government-level clearances with an impeccable record and we go through rigorous verification and clearance checks. Recently, our Microsoft partner / CSP access was deactivated. The only explanation I receive from support is the standard message: āMicrosoft runs on trustā¦ As a part of this commitment, we perform regular due diligence and vetting on all members of our partner network. In this case, our vetting revealed serious compliance violations attributable to your organization or with persons in a position of influence within your organization. We are unable to share further details.ā When I asked for a meeting, support created a ticket and sent me a link to schedule an appointment. I scheduled it, but the ticket was closed almost immediately. At the same time, I received the same boilerplate āserious compliance violationsā message again, and no one joined the scheduled meeting. I was then told explicitly that the decision cannot be changed by opening a new support case. From the outside, it looks like an internal āflagā has been set and front-line support can only paste that one response. I strongly suspect there may be a mistaken identity or bad third-party data involved. I see that the verification process uses AU10TIX and, from what I can tell, AU10TIX in turn relies on a data source called TAUX0 (or similar). When doing simple searches on my name/company, I see multiple entries for different entities that share similar names, some of those unrelated entities do have legal records. My concern is that these mixed records in TAUX0 (or related sources) have been combined and attributed to me/my company, even though we have no such history. I did contact AU10TIX, they said they will refer this to their R&D but "nothing they can do", I will have to contact Microsoft. My questions to the community: 1. Has anyone else had their partner/CSP access deactivated with the same āserious compliance violationsā boilerplate and no details? 2. Was anyone able to get clarification or a remediation path, or is this truly final once the internal flag is set? 3. Does this type of enforcement affect only partner/CSP status, or can it also impact our ability to use Microsoft services as a customer? Iām not looking to argue or threaten legal actions, so please no such suggestions. I simply want to understand the practical impact and whether there is any constructive way to correct an apparent misunderstanding caused by third-party data. We are a small business and heavily impacted by this, as we cannot renew our Partner benefit packages. My hope is that, out of cases like this, Microsoft and AU10TIX can find a way to provide some guidance and a remediation path for small businesses, instead of leaving them in the dark with a generic āserious compliance violationsā label and no explanation. Thanks in advance for any insights or similar experiences you can share.The Next One - SC200 Courseware unusable

Hi, I registered on partner centre a week ago, filled out details of my business and it said wait for verification. After it, I cant see any status in "Overview" of my verification process or do anything in partner centre. Few days back I got emails for Entra recommendations but nothing from partner centre. I tried creating support ticket but it asks for workspace ID and I dont have it therefore can't create any support ticket. Can anyone tell me how to get around it? Or the solution is to just wait? I just dont want to wait for 2 weeks and then get to know that something was pending on me.Microsoft 365 Copilot Business
Hi Elevate team It was great to hear about the new Copilot licensing tier for SMBs, Microsoft 365 Copilot Business. As this new pricing tier is lower than the current nonprofit discount (US$21/user/month compared to the 15% discount of US$25.50/user/month). I was wondering what the official guidance is for small and medium nonprofits (those who have a Microsoft 365 Business plan and fewer than 300 users)? Will a new nonprofit discount be made available based on the lower tier? Or should small and medium nonprofits look at moving to the new SMB Business SKU? Thanks Matt
