I would like to inquire whether Microsoft offers any pre-built, production-ready applications—preferably within the Dynamics 365 ecosystem—that are currently in use by customers and proven to be stable, which support the following functionalities: Work Order Management Operational Management Production Planning and Control Resource Management Asset Management Quality Management Inventory Management Barcode Scanning for real-time job tracking (start/finish) Profitability and Financial Reporting Hours Variation Analysis( Planned Vs Actual) Cost Variation Analysis( Planned Vs Actual) We are seeking a solution that integrates these capabilities into a unified platform, ideally with real-time data capture and reporting features. If such a solution exists, we would appreciate details regarding its availability, deployment options, licensing, and customer success stories. Looking forward to your guidancePartner lockout of Microsoft 365 tenant – looking for advice on next steps
Hello all, I’d appreciate some guidance from the community on a serious situation we are facing. On 12 September 2025, our Microsoft partner unilaterally locked us out of our Microsoft 365 tenant. They retained exclusive Global Administrator / Partner Delegated Admin rights, which means: All staff and directors are unable to access email, Teams, SharePoint/OneDrive, or even log into their Azure AD-authenticated workstations. Our corporate and staff personal data is now inaccessible to us as the controller. Access restoration has been explicitly conditioned on payment of a disputed invoice (not related to Microsoft licence pass-through). This raises several concerns: Operational: we are effectively paralysed. Security/IP: the partner still has exclusive access to proprietary source code and other confidential business data. Compliance: we cannot meet our GDPR/UK DPA obligations on availability of personal data while locked out. We contacted Microsoft Business Conduct on Friday evening with full details of the incident, but so far no human response has been received to those emails. Questions for the community From a Microsoft tenancy perspective – what’s the fastest/most effective way to remove a partner’s delegated admin access if they refuse to release it voluntarily? Has anyone experienced or seen a similar scenario where access was conditioned on disputed payments? Are there formal Microsoft Partner Code of Conduct provisions that directly address this type of misuse of delegated admin rights? Any practical lessons on balancing the technical fix (regaining control of the tenant) with the legal approach (injunction, regulatory notifications)? My focus is on regaining secure access, protecting data/IP, and ensuring compliance. Any experience, insight, or links to Microsoft policy/resources would be greatly appreciated.SolvedWindows hardware developer program deactivated in Partner Center - support cases closed unresolved.
Hello, I need assistance with the Windows Hardware Developer Program in Partner Center. My account shows as deactivated and inaccessible, even though my account is fully authorized and, I am the Global Administrator for our Entra ID tenant. Our organization has an active EV code signing certificate. Our D-U-N-S/company information is valid I have already opened Partner Center support tickets, but they were closed without resolution: Case ID: 2508050010001953 Case ID: 2508080010002600 Case ID:2508160010000069 Case ID:25081900100000123 First two tickets got closed, last two tickets I just opened asking for more clarification. Our company is desperately need to get WHQL certified driver so our customers can ship Windows products. From other community posts, it seems this may require a manual review and escalation to Partner Center Operations / Vetting Team, since automated provisioning has failed. Could a Microsoft representative please review this case and escalate it appropriately? Thank you, Huei-Mei Su LisuantechDownloading software requiring activation codes, for future use.
I am downloading software from the Silver program and am wondering about the ones which require activation fees. When I select "Get Keys" will it provide me with a number of keys equal to the number of activations I have that I can use anytime I want to install the software? Or do I need to be ready with the software already installed when I get keys?SolvedQuestion about the new Partner Benefits options
We are a small ISV that has been in the Partner program (Now CSP) almost since it's beginning. For most of the time we have been in the program we have maintained our eligibility by having our software certified. But then Microsoft changed the requirements to be mostly revenue based and we were no longer able to maintain our Gold level (or silver level). We were still able to purchase the benefits that we use as a legacy Gold partner. But now it appears that Microsoft is getting rid of this next year. So I'm wondering what our best option or options are going forward. I've seen several emails about a new certification process as well as some new options for benefits. Based on our renewal date it appears that we will have to transition to the new benefits options. With the legacy Gold partner benefits, we currently have a monthly Azure benefit of $100 plus I believe some kind of reduced licensing cost for our Azure VMs related to our MSDN subscription which comes from the legacy Gold partner benefits. I found information about the new offerings here https://partner.microsoft.com/en-US/partnership/compare-programs I've reviewed the different offerings and it looks like the Partner Success Core Benefits and either the ISV Success Core Package or the ISV Success Expanded Package would be appropriate So that leads to my two questions: First, do we have to select and purchase both a benefits package and a software offering? Second, with our current legacy Gold partner benefits we'd annually renew our Azure benefits from the MPN site and that would flow directly to our Azure subscription. Will this stay the same with the new benefits? Thanks NickPurchase OR Sign In Authentication of MS 365 Subscription
