Today, I am writing about how to create a new service request, which we will call SR to Office 365 for business support.
As an admin for Office 365 for business, we get free access from MS support team to help resolve technical issues as well as for sales and others services also.
We can contact Microsoft support on behalf of the organization, so you should have access to raise the request and see the update as well.
Being an IT admin, we need to frequently create new service requests to Microsoft as Office 365 keeps on updating its product and features. I have noticed many times the features which are available in SharePoint On-Premises or other products are missing or updated for Office 365.
Thus, let’s start step by step creating with screenshots.
- Login to Office 365 portal page, if you don’t have permission to access Office 3665 admin page directly.

- On the screen mentioned above, it will ask us to login with the user account and password. Thus, just enter authorized used Id and password and click on sign in option.
- It will login to Office 365 Admin Center landing page. Here, we can see many options will be available like Home, Users, Groups, Resources, Billing, Support, settings, Reports, Health and Admin centers.
- Here, we need to select Support option, it will expand with two options called support and Service requests. We can create New SR with support and Service request options.
- Now, click support options to create new SR and select a Service requested, as given below. If we create on support, the option will take us to the support overview page.
