How to access news server privatenews.microsoft.com

[Ed Tittel]

I was advised by MS online support to check some specific private newsgroups
in the microsoft.private.certgcert.windowsclient.vista newsgroup. My MS
partner ID and password won't get me access to the privatenews.microsoft.com
NNTP server. Where or how can I obtain credentials to access these groups?

TIA for your help and support,
Ed

You might have to go back to your MS online support technician for details
on this one. ID's and Passwords for the private newsgroups are supplied by
Microsoft.
