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

.. _21.1|VOSS-847:


An organization using Microsoft to manage UC provisioning requires 
a number of 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.
MS Exchange can also be added to the tenant.

VOSS Automate 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 Automate: 

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

* 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.
