Resolved - CDX / demos.microsoft.com "Not Authorized" error #CDX
Just wanted to put it out there a recent issue I faced while accessing CDX tool (https://demos.microsoft.com). When logged in using my work account it errored out with below error: This message is quite misleading, as I do have a Partner account. Thankfully, I found an article: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/all/cant-access-cdxtransformmicrosoftcom-not/e9d79c49-1285-447d-8346-3c10a704e6b1 I had to: i. Launch https://mysignins.microsoft.com/security-info in incognito mode and Sign in with your work account to re-enforce MFA-based login. ii. Then launch https://cdx.transform.microsoft.com and enable third party cookies for this website. Then it gives the below Login Failed page which makes more sense (as it turns out, it was CDX who was missing some permissions required and not the other way around, lol. Ideally, if it pointed out the below error message by default without requiring above steps, it would have been a lot easier to get to the resolution): In my case, MFA was enforced and Cookies were already allowed. The last step was to click on the "by clicking on this link" hyperlink to allow Consent to the user permissions required by CDX tool. This can by done by the end user itself. Once consent is provided using the link, the tool is accessible in normal Browser mode. Note: If all users in the tenant are not able to access CDX, then Global Admin needs to follow the "by clicking on this link" to provide consent to CDX permissions. In this case you might get a "Consent" page upfront instead of above errors to request for consent from Global admin to "transform.microsoft.com". #CDX

New MCPP Subscription in Azure
Hi, Apologies if this is the wrong forum. Earlier this year I renewed my Action Pack subscription and had to link my billing profile at the same time. Once that had gone through, I noticed that I had a new Azure subscription called 'MCPP Subscription' I still also have my Microsoft Partner Network subscription which has all my resource groups etc in. My query is what is this new subscription? Should I start using it? My credits are linked to the old MPN subscription. I've not been able to find anything so far about it either on general internet searches or this community. many thanks
Partner payment error
The Partner Payment Center payment page does not properly process cards. The error I am receiving does not seem to be a valid error for credit cards: Payment failed due to insufficient balance. Please check with your bank or try again with a different card. My Card is in good standing. In the MS store I have no problem, just in the Partner payment page. I've cleared the browser cache and still get the same error.
Controlling an Application’s Throughput Consumption in Cosmos DB with ThroughputControlGroup
Hi Azure Cosmos Db Team, Was referring to the below document link to limit the throughput consumption per requests. https://the9090rule.medium.com/controlling-an-applications-throughput-consumption-in-cosmos-db-with-throughputcontrolgroup-247cc0eafa92 How will the application behave in case the operations in the group exceed the set throughput? Will it get throttled? With Regards, Nitin Rahim
How Are You Getting Sales/Leads?
Good day all, I am a Disabled Military Veteran and can't drive because of that. I am really trying to push getting clients and I am assuming I need to be going door to door (business to business) in person, but if I go that route I need to do this very effectively to avoid high costs of ubers (public transportation not really an option where I am). How are you all going about getting new clients and what types of businesses would you suggest going after for getting your first few clients? Are all even doing in person sales, and what would you say your process is like. Would also like to know how are you targeting your ideal client so that I can see if I can apply to mine. I am offering the Microsoft products as well as maintenance services for those. My ideal target would be small businesses and maybe nonprofits (but would be willing to see if I should switch to a different target market to start if something else would give me a higher return at least starting out until I can afford to switch back to small businesses perhaps). For anyone that can provide insights on here or through DM, thank you very much in advance.

Hi, We are a Microsoft Partner and working collaboratively with other Microsoft partners and customes with all sorts of varying Microsoft Solutions and Azure migrations. More and more of these as an ECIF supplier. We are always being asked who is our Microsoft FTE Sponsor or PDM Manager, but we dont have any points of contact at Microsoft. Previously there use to be an ASK partner help line that you could call to get help as a Microsoft Partner. We are looking to deepen our relationship with Microsoft and are struggling because we lack any contacts. Can anyone advise where or how we can get help to improve our Partner relationship with Microsoft to ultimately help us sell more Microsoft solutions?
