Hello Microsoft Support, My Microsoft 365 tenant was created for my domain glossandorder.co.uk but the admin account was never provisioned. Every admin URL (admin.microsoft.com, portal.office.com, signup links) redirects me to the signup wizard or personal account recovery. I cannot access the admin portal. The domain verifies correctly and email ******@glossandorder.co.uk is active via DNS, but no admin user exists. Please repair the tenant provisioning and assign a Global Administrator to the tenant. Thank you.

    If your Microsoft 365 tenant was created but no admin account was provisioned, you will need to follow specific steps to resolve this issue. Unfortunately, Microsoft for Nonprofits cannot manually recover accounts or repair tenant provisioning directly. Here are the steps you can take:

    1. Confirm Domain Verification: Ensure that your domain (glossandorder.co.uk) is verified correctly. You mentioned that it verifies correctly, which is a good start.
    2. Access the Admin Portal: Try accessing the admin portal using any previously used email account that might have been associated with the tenant. Go to admin.microsoft.com and attempt to sign in.
    3. Submit a Support Request: If you cannot access the admin portal, you should submit a support request to Microsoft. Go to the Microsoft 365 support page, select "I can't sign in or access my tenant," and follow the prompts. You may need to verify your identity and ownership of the organization through official business documentation or domain ownership.
    4. Contact IT Partner: If a Microsoft partner created your tenant, reach out to their support team for assistance in recovering access.
    5. Azure Data Protection Team: If you are the only global admin or if your organization does not have a global admin, contact the Azure Data Protection team for help. You can reach them at +1 866-807-5850.

    These steps should guide you in recovering access to your tenant and assigning a Global Administrator to your account.
