App registrations ride on DAP pre-consent. When DAP relationships disappear in early 2023, vendor integrations like IT Glue, CIPP, and HaloPSA stop reading customer tenants until re-consented.
Two ways to bulk-migrate DAP to GDAP before the deadline: Microsoft's CSV-driven CLI gives granular control, CIPP's built-in wizard gives speed. Here is how to pick, with a demo of both.
September 2022 for MSPs: Exchange Online basic auth shutoff begins October 1, the GDAP bulk migration tool runs until October 31, and Teams ships eight features from Cameo to 7x7 galleries.
Huntress's native PSA integrations stop at tickets and agreements. A Power Automate custom connector opens the full API: incident chaining, QuickBooks billing sync, and cross-vendor device reports.
Microsoft incentive rebates arrive monthly with no per-customer clarity. A Partner Center earnings export plus six columns in Power BI shows exactly which customers, products, and programs pay.
NCE commitment terms punish missed renewal dates. This Power Automate flow sweeps Pax8 subscriptions daily and opens a PSA ticket before each renewal, so seat counts get fixed before lock-in.
August 2022 for MSPs: Teams Rooms Pro replaces Standard and Premium at $40/month on September 1, DAP creation stops September 30, and Teams ships six features including bulk deployment.
The Pax8 API is free for partners and covers customers, orders, subscriptions, products, and invoices. This walkthrough connects it to Power Automate with Key Vault-backed credentials.
Microsoft's Solutions Partner designation replaces Silver and Gold with a 70-point bar, 10 new customer adds, and 500 MAU growth. Here is the scoring math and why most MSPs will fall short.
July 2022 for MSPs: Teams shared channels hit GA, Viva Engage replaces the Communities app, the V1 Exchange Online PowerShell module heads for retirement, and the partner program overhaul gets a date.
June 2022 for MSPs: Temporary Access Pass reaches GA for passwordless onboarding, Microsoft walks back the July 11 legacy CSP renewal block, and Teams ships seven features.
May 2022 for MSPs: personal Bookings pages land in Outlook, quarantine notifications get custom branding, Teams ships four features, and Defender for Business standalone gets an upgrade path.
April 2022 for MSPs: Defender for Business standalone arrives at $3 per user, legacy CSP renewals get until July 11, Azure subscriptions transfer between partners, and Windows 365 goes annual.
March 2022 for MSPs: combined MFA and SSPR registration becomes the default, NCE cancellations stretch to 7 days, nonprofit SKUs get a price bump, and dynamic distribution groups go modern.
As of March 18, 2022, NCE lets you align every subscription under a customer to a single renewal date. How proration works, the scenarios it will not cover, and how to turn it on.
Pair Azure AD PIM with GDAP security groups and your techs activate customer access for a few hours instead of holding it forever. The full 2022-era setup, screenshot by screenshot.
GDAP forces a question DAP never asked: which Azure AD roles do your techs actually need per customer? A practical baseline, the architecture behind it, and what to do about Global Admin.
February 2022 for MSPs: internet VBA macros get blocked by default, Teams previews shared channels on B2B direct connect, coterminosity heads to the NCE sandbox, and AAD Connect versions retire.
