Hi everyone! Does anyone here know if the Multi-Geo functionality in MS365 is available through CSP? Everywhere I look it says the customer need EA, but my customer says another reseller claims it is included in CSP offerings.

Hello. Our client currently has Dynamics 365 Sales Enterprise Edition 2 licenses. Do they need to quote 1 or 2 of the Dynamics 365 Customer Service Enterprise Attach to Qualifying Dynamics 365 Base Offer licenses? Do the licenses have to match? Thanks. Nancy

Hi all, I'm not sure is this a right channel for this topic, but I'll try my luck... As we all know, when customer has M365 E3 license, they have a license for Windows 10 Enterprise. Also EMS E3 is included in M365 E3 and EMS E3 will give customer the ability to use ConfigMgr for endpoint management. Some time ago I contacted to partner support and asked how the customer can get ConfigMgr installation media to install ConfigMgr to their environment. MS support replied that customer needs to use ConfigMgr evaluation media for the actual server installation and after the installation we could contact MS support again to get the official key for ConfigMgr. So everything ok with ConfigMgr. Now M365 E3 customer wants to use ConfigMgr and OSD for pre-installing their workstation. They have a Win10 Enterprise license via M365 E3 but from where they can download a Win10 installation media which can be used in OSD's Task Sequence? Customer doesn't have Volume License -portal in use, because they will buy all their licenses via CSP. We have tried to find an answer for this, without luck. We have contacted to MS support, but they obviously don't understand this scenario and we haven't received any good answers. It is not possible to use "Create Windows 10 installation media" tool (Download Windows 10 (microsoft.com)) because it creates and iso-file which doesn't contain the proper install.wim which could be used in OSD. So we would really appreciate if some has managed to solve this puzzle and could tell us what is a correct and official way to handle these kind of cases!

We have come across a number of situations where a large enterprise customers will have deployed SMB subscription in the tenant. These organizations have over 1000 employees and understand that Microsoft (via large resellers) have informed them that it is Ok to have 300 Business premium and move the rest of the users to MS 365 E3. There understanding of SMB is that it is per subscription type. When we were doing SAM audits, we have a play book that was explicit on this that it was not a case, and in BSA audit, clients were fined. So I decided to try to find a CSP definition for SMB, and there is not a very good definition of a SMB. In fact there is no definition of a SMB (just the number 300) So what is the "Official" Microsoft definition of a SMB? - Does 300 mean company employees? - Does 300 mean users email address in a tenant? - Does 300 mean a size limit in a specific subscription? And where is the 300 definition of SMB? The real question: Are we allowed to sell SMB into large enterprise accounts with SMB subscription (as long as the subscription does not exceed 300 users). This is what large account resellers are doing. So clarification from Microsoft is needed.

Hello all, Hoping someone can help and clarify what rights a client is granted with on-premise servicer rights via CSP, specifically for SharePoint. My understanding was that a M365 client was able to stand up a on-premise server for Exchange, SharePoint or Skype, however reading the latest terms that i could find, this doesn't seem to be possible if buying via a Microsoft Customer Agreement (CSP). is this right/wrong, any help or insight would be greatly appreciated. https://download.microsoft.com/download/3/D/4/3D42BDC2-6725-4B29-B75A-A5B04179958B/Licensing_guide_Microsoft_365_Enterprise.pdf Page 3 of these product terms seem to state - The following rights are included with all Microsoft 365 E3 and E5 User Subscription License (USL) when purchasing through an EA/EAS Enrollment (these use rights are not including when purchasing through the Microsoft Customer Agreement or Web Direct)
