Microsoft Configuration
------------------------

.. _21.1|VOSS-847:

An organization using Microsoft to manage UC provisioning requires
at least three different portals in a tenant: Azure, Microsoft 355 Admin Center, and (once users
are licensed through Microsoft Office 365), a portal on the Microsoft Teams side for telephony.

VOSS-4-UC combines these functions into a single management interface, allowing service
providers to import data from multiple Microsoft tenants and to manage these customers
(or tenants) from a single portal and login.

The diagram describes the initial configuration required to integrate Microsoft with VOSS-4-UC:

* You will need to install and configure a Microsoft Windows PowerShell Proxy server (one or more).
This is to allow VOSS-4-UC to access Azure via the PowerShell. For details, see:

* Once the Microsoft Windows PowerShell service is installed, you will use the IP address and
credentials of the proxy server to configure the Microsoft tenant.
