How do I raise a support ticket to the Partner Center about an Enrollment Issue

Terry Moore 0

MCCI is a long time Microsoft partner (20+ years). We need from time to time to sign kernel drivers for publication. This involves using the Partner Portal Hardware Program. We were enrolled in the Partner Portal Hardware Program for many years. For some reason, in January, our registration has been deactivated. Re-registration fails with “Something went wrong” at the agreements step. Correlation IDs: a7b52d3a, 3a1882a8, d6cf4016. We need old enrollment cleared so I can re-register.

I have tried every contact available, including internal contacts at Microsoft. I end up in a doom loop / catch 22 at the Partner Portal. We need an enrollment to file an issue, but we can't enroll, and we can't re-enroll.

Any suggestions?

Best regards,

Since this involves the Hardware Program enrollment inside Partner Center, the only team that can clear or reset a stuck enrollment is the Partner Center support team directly.

Try the following approach:

Go to Microsoft Partner Center and sign in with a Global Admin or Partner Admin account.

Navigate to Help + support (top-right corner).

Choose Partner Center → Account settings → Enrollment / Program issue.

Create a new support request and include:

Your organization name and MPN ID

The exact error message (“Something went wrong” at agreements step)

The correlation IDs (a7b52d3a, 3a1882a8, d6cf4016)

Screenshot of the failure page

If the portal prevents ticket creation due to the inactive enrollment, use the non-technical support request form here:

https://partner.microsoft.com/support

Select Partner membership / enrollment issue and clearly state that the previous Hardware Program enrollment must be manually cleared to allow re-registration.

Since this affects driver signing under the Hardware Program, also mention that this is blocking submission workflows, which usually helps with escalation priority.

Unfortunately, there’s no self-service way to clear a stuck or deactivated enrollment it must be reset by Microsoft’s backend team.

As mentioned in my "thumbs down" comment: thanks for the feedback, but both approaches lead to the same catch 22 doom loop in the AI agent on the partner portal: I can't file an issue because I'm not enrolled.

In cases where enrollment is inactive and the portal won’t allow a support request, you need to bypass the in-portal flow entirely.

Try this instead:

Have your Global Admin (not just Partner Admin) open a support request through the regular Microsoft 365 Admin Center under Support → New service request, and clearly state this is a Partner Center Hardware Program enrollment reset issue. These requests can be internally routed even if Partner Center blocks you.

Use the public support escalation form at:

https://partner.microsoft.com/support

If the AI agent loops, type “agent” or “create ticket” repeatedly to force a live support route instead of guided help.

If your organization has an assigned Partner Development Manager (PDM) or account manager (common for 20+ year partners), contact them directly and request a backend enrollment reset. That’s usually the only fix when the agreements step is stuck.

Include the correlation IDs (a7b52d3a, 3a1882a8, d6cf4016) and clearly state:

“Previous Hardware Program enrollment must be manually cleared from backend to allow re-registration.”

There is no client-side fix for this. When the agreements page fails consistently, it almost always requires manual cleanup by the backend operations team

I am a global admin, so I used the global admin path. I was able to find a button requesting an email ticket, and I was able to file a ticket, #‎2602270010002132‎. We'll hope for the best.
