Exchange Online: Connector creation failed
Hi all, I have a dev tenant running to do some POCs for customers. I need to do a POC and for this POC I need to create a connector in Exchange Online. I was always able to doing so, but now I ge...
- from Microsoft Exchange Online team:
"Dev tenants were used to relay phish emails through EXO using Inbound connector. Because of this misuse, we had to other way but to restrict that. "
Pity.
looks like Microsoft has changed the service offering: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/exchange/exchange-online-connector-creation-failed/m-p/3624401 It says developer subscription are not enabled to use inbound connector.
I've opened a ticket as well, as I need to test a scenario before doing anything in production, until now no solution.

- Hi Dennis, found our answer: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/developer-program/microsoft-365-developer-program-faq#does-the-instant-sandbox-have-different-capabilities-than-a-standard-microsoft-365-e5-subscription-
But this brings me some questions, I there asked the support team the following:
1: Why is this changed? I was always able to do this.
2: As Microsoft 365 developers and engineers, we need to test anything for our customers without limits. Could it be clarified why this isn't functioning?
3: Could you contact the developer program leads and ask them about this situation?- Same here. have a inbound connector created before with my dev tenant, now I can't change it.
- Yes, I face exactly the same. Was always able to do it. Don't know who to connect about this, the Microsoft case is closed because dev tenants are out their support.
- Hi Dennis, thanks, great to hear that I'm not the only one. I do not understand why, like you and I guess all others, we test all things in our DEV tenants before doing changes in PROD. This causes delays in our work if we can no longer test everything properly. Microsoft tells me now to create a ticket in their ServiceNow, will update this post when I have new information.
