It seems that the customer is experiencing issues with their account being recognized as a work account. Here are some steps that may help resolve the situation:
- Verify Account Type: Ensure that the account being used is indeed a work or school account and not a personal Microsoft account. Sometimes, users may have similar email addresses for both types of accounts.
- Check Global Admin Status: Since you mentioned that the account is a Global Admin account, confirm that it is still active and has not been inadvertently disabled or removed.
- Contact Support: Since the Indirect Reseller is unable to raise a priority support ticket due to expired GDAP access, it may be necessary for the customer to contact Microsoft support directly. They can find the appropriate support phone number for their region at Support for Business Products.
- Use Security Information: If the customer is locked out, they can attempt to reset their password using security information if it has been set up. This feature is only available if enabled by the global admin.
- Emergency Access Account: If the customer has set up an emergency access account (break-glass account), they can use it to regain access to the tenant.
- GDAP Access Renewal: It may also be beneficial to renew GDAP access if possible, as this will allow the Indirect Reseller to assist further.
If these steps do not resolve the issue, contacting Microsoft support directly will be the best course of action to address the sign-in problems and account recognition issues.
