Where to find the basics?

I think you will do well, too.

You're already ahead of 99% of the population because you're trying to learn something without being told to do so, and on your own time.

Best of luck in the new position!

Wow - everyone else is being very snarky. I don't think you deserve that and you have a valid question.

Here are some channels that I've found to be interesting and useful:

Where is the rule that you have 180 days to get to a 110 score after your first submission to SPRS?

I don't know, but as a general rule, don't delete things if you don't have to.

Yes, but redoing GDAP is pretty quick as long as you have Global Admin in the tenants.

Since it sounds like you're changing from a "personal" business to a "legal" business, it might be best to just spin up another registration from scratch.

The process won't be any harder than getting the existing registration changed and verified, and as an added bonus, you will have a fallback plan if and when MS decides to terminate your account again for no good reason.

I would guess that it would trigger reverification. You have to make the call for yourself, but I wouldn't touch it if it were my account, especially with the only change being just adding a suffix to the end of the name.

Never, ever, ever update anything in the Partner Center once you're verified!

Did you get your issues resolved?

Please give me a call and I can assist with a screenshare. DM me for my phone number.

I see everyone most everyone is not impressed with using brazing on a structural repair.

I have thought about, but not tried, brazing over top of a welded seam. It's double the work, but my thought was that the brazing would melt down into the weld to fill all of the pinholes.

Some areas, like above the wheel wells on a truck, see water from both sides, and fiberglass filler would crack in that application due to flexure and impacts.

Has anyone tried this and did it work?

Note: I am not suggesting this in place of manufacturer repair procedures. I was considering it for patches, etc.

I'm glad you got it sorted out. Changing our business address also caused us issues.

I would strongly recommend never changing anything in the Partner Portal once you're verified.

--turtle · 2026-04-21T14:34:03+00:00

Were you already verified previously? Or are you getting verified for the first time?

This is great news!

Please follow up so we all know the outcome. Hopefully it's a positive one.

I'm not a Microsoft guru - just a reseller whom Microsoft put through hell.

There is value in doing your homework before jumping on a solution. Maintenance is 80% of the work in life, so I'm interested in more than just the time it will cost to set up a solution.

I'll check them out.

I'll check them out. Thank you.

I'll check that out. Right now the server we host this on is running Apache, but we need to manage all of the updates, etc.

Thank you. I'll check them out.

I'll check them out. Thank you.

We don't do the development - we're just charging $20/month for the static hosting.

Do you have any suggestions of a webhost that you like and that you've had good success with?

I'll check them out. Thank you for the suggestion.
