Lab Issues - Rolling Updates
Hello all, We're working on ways to better update our partner ecosystem on issues with labs. Until we have a more sustainable and scalable solution, I will provide updates to this pinned thread. August 13 AZ-500 issue has been resolved. SC-500 labs will be delayed one week to August 21 (August 7th title plan says August 14 release) August 10 From Skillable for AZ-500: "A subset of labs in the below courses are currently impacted by an older VM SKU with limited availability. We have updated the labs under our control and have engaged Microsoft to have the content updated to a new SKU with more general availability." Our Microsoft labs team is aware of the issue and working on it. Will update here when I have more info. August 4 365 Defender Lab: Resolved AB-210, AB-250, and MB-230: Resolved July 29 Impact: 365 Defender Lab set to release 7/31. A bug is causing issues in activating the M365 Connector for the Security for AI service. User cannot proceed past trial activation window. Issue has been escalated, no time to resolution yet. Impact: AB-210, AB-250, and MB-230. Dynamics trial license issue, unable to redeem Sales license. Issue has been escalated, no time to resolution yet.FY27 TSP Community Call Thread
We'll use this thread to post updates for TSP Community Calls, including calendar invites to upcoming calls and links to post-call decks and recordings. Please note: decks and recordings of previous calls are kept on the Learning Resources site for 12 months in our Community Call collection. Files from the most recent Community Call take 1-2 weeks to land in the collection. New this fiscal: to be better prepared to present the information you want to hear, we've created a question intake form that we'll use to help plan the calls. Drop a question or some feedback and we'll take the information into account. https://aka.ms/TSPCallQuestionsSC-500 - Where are the ALH Labs?
I just downloaded and reviewed SC-500 and Instructor Notes. It seems the ALH Providers are not offering LABs for this course. Some Labs show "BYOS". That is not deliverable. No one has free SCU or Copilot for Security Licenses on stock for training. Only slides, no exercises or only click thru simulations again. Please come on, not another one of that. Can anyone give a tip, where and how fully functional tenants for ALL (including the "expensive" copilot stuff) labs are available? Thanks for any help Mario
The new MD-102 and the missing labs
Hi. This complete rewrite of MD-102 has been long underway and very much wanted. The new courseware arrived on time, but much to our disappointment, we discovered that labs will first arrive in the next 30-60 days. Clients will not be happy with a 5 days course without labs. If this is the new norm, then it will render the Courseware Title Plan useless, if we only get part of the course on the dates mentioned.Access Restricted Error On Partner Center Dashboard
Hi all, As mentioned in the last community call, we're seeing some users get an "Access Restricted" error when they try to access the Training Services Partner dashboard on Partner Center. This is not impacting your KPIs, just your view to those KPIs. Thanks to everyone who messaged me with their details after the call. I've compiled the errors and sent to the engineering team for further investigation. I will update you here when there is news to share.FY26 TSP Community Call Thread
We'll use this thread to post updates for TSP Community Calls, including calendar invites to upcoming calls and links to post-call decks and recordings. Please note: the folder linked after each call is a temporary repository while we wait to get the deck and recording uploaded to the Learning Resources site. These links expire after each subsequent call. Instead, you can find the last 12 months of call decks and recordings in our Community Call collection.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
Students See Admin-Completed Modules After Redeeming Course Code
Is there a way to reset a Code Admin Account (e.g. the email address removed for privacy reasons) used for Microsoft Learn learner course and achievement code generation including distribution? Preparation completed by a TSP using the Code Admin Account appears to be carried over to students when they claim their codes. As a result, modules that were previously previewed by the admin are already marked as completed in the students’ module lists once their codes are activated. I may be missing something, but I’ve attached an image showing how students see some course modules already ticked as completed after redeeming their course code. I also have a related question: are trainers able to view their students’ progress for Microsoft Learn training materials redeemed through these course codes? Specifically, can trainers see whether their students are progressing through the self-paced learning modules? If these questions have already been answered elsewhere, I would appreciate being pointed in the right direction. Any input or guidance would be greatly appreciated to resolve any or all of the above. Thanks in advance.
