Microsoft Configuration

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 PowerShell 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.
