I have resolved this issue myself by creating a second account within my Azure AD and using that account to register for the MPN - Thanks
Error: Your IT department has turned off signup for Partner Center

I have registered for Azure, created a new tenant and connect my custom domain to it (inovaxa.co.uk)
I do not have a Microsoft 365 subscription
I am trying to register for the Microsoft Partner Network to get an ID to use for other MSP/VAR registrations.
When I try to register I get the error message "Your IT department has turned off signup for Partner Center" - searching for this bring back results to run the command "Set-MsolCompanySettings -AllowEmailVerifiedUsers $true -AllowAdHocSubscriptions $true"
The above command Is not recognized when I run it in Azure Shell - If I install the PowerShell modules locally on my machine and try to connect using Connect-MsolService, I am asked for credentials but get an error, as my account if for Azure, and not linked to any Microsoft 365 Tenant (which I believe is what Connect-MsolService connects you to)
How do I run this command without being connect to an MSOL tenant?
