** See updated reply in this chat from me. We will continue to update here when we have new information. Thank you. We are making our learning offerings more secure by adding multi-factor authentication (MFA) to Microsoft 365 and Dynamics 365 tenants that we use in some of our instructor-led training (ILT) labs. We started this update on the week of March 11, 2024, and it will take a few more weeks to complete. Some users may see the change right away or in the next few weeks as we roll out the feature. This update will affect labs for some of the ILT courses you offer. What does this mean to you? Some of the classes your team is delivering may be impacted. Students who try to access the labs for the impacted courses will need to enable MFA. They’ll require a mobile phone in the class to set up and verify with MFA. They'll also need an app that can generate authentication codes—the suggested app is the Microsoft Mobile Phone Authenticator, which is free. Download the Microsoft Mobile Phone Authenticator App. Set up your Microsoft 365 sign-in for multi-factor authentication. If students have issues during the lab, trainers should follow the standard support process. What is next? We are still assessing the effect of turning on multi-factor authentication for our learning portfolio and will share more details as we learn more. Which ILT courses are impacted? AZ-040T00: Automating Administration with PowerShell DP-605T00: Develop dynamic reports with Microsoft Power BI MB-220T00: Dynamics 365 Customer Insights - Journeys MB-260T00: Microsoft Customer Insights - Data Specialty MB-800T00: Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central Functional Consultant MB-820T00: Dynamics 365 Business Central Developer MD-102T00: Microsoft 365 Endpoint Administrator MS-102T00: Microsoft 365 Administrator MS-4001: Build collaborative apps for Microsoft Teams MS-700T00: Managing Microsoft Teams MS-721T00: Collaboration Communications Systems Engineer PL-200T00: Microsoft Power Platform Functional Consultant PL-300T00: Microsoft Power BI Data Analyst PL-400T00: Microsoft Power Platform Developer PL-500T00: Microsoft Power Automate RPA Developer PL-7001: Create and Manage Canvas Apps with Power Apps PL-7002: Create and Manage Automated Processes by using Power Automate PL-7003: Create and Manage Model-Driven Apps with Power Apps and Dataverse PL-900T00: Microsoft Power Platform Fundamentals SC-200T00: Microsoft Security Operations Analyst SC-300T00: Microsoft Identity and Access Administrator SC-400T00: Administering Information Protection and Compliance in Microsoft 365 SC-900T00: Microsoft Security, Compliance, and Identity Fundamentals As we receive further information, we will be sure to update you in a timely manner. Thank you.SolvedRe: Important: Improved security in Microsoft learning offerings requires multi-factor authentic
Yes, at the moment a phone is required to set up MFA Authentication. We are working on a solution for scenarios where learners are unable to use an authentication app, but for now learners will be required to use an MFA authentication app in order to access the labs impacted. These security steps are necessary to safeguard the Microsoft environment. Thank you.Re: Important: Improved security in Microsoft learning offerings requires multi-factor authentic
HI Annette, No, the security measures in place require an authenticator app. SMS text messaging and phone call authentication methods are vulnerable to phishing attacks resulting in identity compromise, so they cannot be used. To improve Microsoft’s security posture, more secure authentication methods must be used.Re: Important: Improved security in Microsoft learning offerings requires multi-factor authentic
Dear Partners, Thank you for your partnership in implementing this change and providing feedback. We wanted to provide further information about the reasons for the implementation of the Multi-factor authentication requirement. Microsoft’s security and threat assessment team detected a nation-state attack on our systems. As a response to that developing situation, we have initiated multiple efforts to investigate, disrupt malicious activity, and deny threat actors any further access to our systems. As part of a significant cross company effort, we are also enhancing the security of our learning experiences and infrastructure by introducing multi-factor authentication (MFA) to Microsoft 365 and Dynamics 365 tenants that we use in some of our instructor-led training (ILT) labs. These security steps are necessary to safeguard the Microsoft environment. More details and answers for common questions can be found in the attached FAQ PDF. We will continue to provide updates as quickly as possible.Re: How do i become a training partner step by step and be able to provide courses
Hi There, Thanks for your inquiry. The resources in this collection have all the details for how to become a Microsoft Training Services Partner and the requirements for each Solution Area designation: https://partner.microsoft.com/en-us/asset/collection/get-started-solutions-partner-for-training-services-designation#/ I hope this helps. Thank you, Debbie264Views1like0CommentsRe: Become Training partner
Hi Sabrina, Thanks for asking this question. You do need to buy LAPS. For further details on the Training Services Partner program, here is a collection of Getting Started Resources: https://partner.microsoft.com/en-us/asset/collection/get-started-solutions-partner-for-training-services-designation#/ Note: while Microsoft provides ILT content is free to our TSPs, certification vouchers are not free. Customer / Student pricing is up to you. I hope this is helpful. Thanks, DebbieRe: MS-4001,4004,4005,4006 Courses - ALH Question
Hi Mario. As we discussed in the February Community Call, we currently require TSPs to purchase their own Copilot licenses and operate Copilot within their own data/lab environments. This has been a commonly requested ask, but there is currently no workaround. If things evolve on this, we will keep you all posted. Thanks, DebbieRe: Microsoft Learning Partner
@Xtech2612 There are primarily 3 steps to become a partner. 1. Create a Work Account - Click "Become a partner" to create a free account and share basic information about your organization and its business goals https://partner.microsoft.com/en-US/ 2. Confirm your company details - Provide essential business information, such as your organization's address and legal point of contact. Depending on your country, you may also need to share your business registration number 3. Validate the credentials - Microsoft will verify email ownership, employment, and business details. You'll receive time-sensitive instructions in your business email to confirm your credentials and unlock your membership As they complete the first 2 steps, they will get instructions in email to move further in the process and gain membership. TSP needs to create a valid work account as the first step. Use that to sign in and they should be able to see the below view. Select Microsoft AI Cloud Program and click to move to the next view where they will be providing the company information as shown in the second screen shot. Then they need to follow the window and complete & confirm their company details. In order to validate the company credentials, Microsoft team would reach out with instructions via email. I hope this is helpful and you find the answer you need here. Thank you! DebbieRe: [CLOSED] Monthly Training Services Partner Community Call Thread
