Release and Upgrade Notes for VOSS Automate 21.4-PB3#

Release Overview#

These are the official release notes for:

  • Product: VOSS Automate

  • Release Version: 21.4 Patch Bundle 3

Highlights#

Release 21.4 PB3 is the third Patch Bundle release for the 21.4 release and contains the following highlights and enhancements:

Webex Calling Enhancements

VOSS Automate integrates with the existing Webex Control Hub to provide automated provisioning and ongoing management (in bulk or individually) of Webex, including users, licenses, teams, workspaces, meeting rooms, devices, number inventory, contact center agents, and more. This release adds additional capabilities based on the latest APIs.

Utilize role-based access controls to administer your Webex environment. Manage locations, fully on/off-board users, and, if needed, automate cross application setup when integrating Webex calling with UCM. On/off-board, view, and manage users across applications in a single location.

Additional Microsoft Teams Policies in the Generic Dial Plan Tool

VOSS Automate now allows you to push a large set of Microsoft Teams policies when onboarding new customers. This was expanded to support additional policies, including:

  • CsTeamsCallingPolicy

  • CsTeamsCallParkPolicy

  • CsTeamsEmergencyCallRoutingPolicy

  • CsTeamsEmergencyCallingPolicy

  • CsCallingLineIdentity

  • CsTeamsEnhancedEncryptionPolicy

  • CsOnlineVoicemailPolicy

Automating the addition of these policies saves a significant amount of time when onboarding new customers. It also ensures consistency and the deployment of standard configuration to reduce errors and improve user experience.

Support for Groups in Microsoft Entra Sync during Flow Through Provisioning

Utilize Microsoft Entra (previously, Azure) groups to trigger VOSS Automate “flow through provisioning”, which automates on/off-boarding of users with the appropriate communication services. The groups provide a way to “tag” users as a type, and ultimately map profiles to determine the services and detailed settings for the user.

This can ensure new users automatically receive the appropriate services, based on their group, with no need for administrator intervention, and without the need to access the VOSS Admin Portal. This provides further flexibility to achieve the true zero-touch provisioning.

Enhanced Quick Actions for Multi Vendor Subscriber

VOSS Automate has been updated to improve “quick action” automation - this provides administrators with faster access to key actions they need to complete. This feature delivers a more consistent experience, regardless of the user’s vendor. Common tasks, such as adding new services, moving users, and offboarding, are now more easily accessible.

In addition to reducing the time to make changes, this further enables the consolidation of administrators to manage multiple services without needing to understand the underlying UC technology.

Support for Multi Vendor Subscriber Delete

VOSS Automate has been updated to better automate the deletion of users and their services across vendors (Cisco and Microsoft). This eliminates orphaned services and devices, and properly allocates license usage.

Support for Microsoft Teams PowerShell Version 5.6.0

Support for Microsoft Exchange Online Module Version 3.2.0

VOSS Automate keeps up with the latest versions of PowerShell so you don’t have to. Automated administration of your Microsoft Teams environment using VOSS Automate alleviates the need to track PowerShell releases and eliminates user error.

Change Pin Option Added to Phone Services (Cisco UCM)

VOSS Automate now allows end users to easily change their Cisco phone services PIN directly via the phone interface, in addition to them being able to do this via the VOSS Automate Self-service interface.

Release Details#

Delta Platform

Version : 21.4.3

Build Number : 4542

Platform Version : 21.4.3-1696462695

Supported Upgrade Path

The supported upgrade paths for this Patch Bundle Upgrade is:

  • 21.4 => 21.4-PB3

  • 21.4-PB1 => 21.4-PB3

  • 21.4-PB2 => 21.4-PB3

Application Compatibility

Refer to the Compatibility Matrix in the Core Feature Guide for all app compatibility and browser support.

Important Information#

  • After installing the Patch Bundle, install the EKB-17684_EKB-17765_EKB-17872-21.4-PB3 patch. For details, refer to the post-upgrade step for “Post-upgrade Mandatory Patch Install” in the (MOP) for 21.4 Patch Bundle 3 Installation:

    See:

  • The only supported version of Microsoft PowerShell Proxy is 5.6.0, any earlier versions must be upgraded when upgrading to Release 21.4 PB3

  • Upon upgrade to release 21.4-PB1 or above, all communication between VOSS Automate and the Windows PowerShell Proxy will default to HTTPS, requiring existing configurations to be updated.

    The port used for secure communication is TCP 5986 instead of TCP 5985, which is used for insecure HTTP.

    For existing PowerShell configurations with transport over HTTP, the driver parameter, winrm_transport, can be set to plaintext and can be manually added to the data/MSTeamsOnline instance to ensure backward compatibility temporarily.

    Reverting back to insecure communication is only recommended as a temporary measure while the PowerShell Proxy is being configured for secure communication. Switching to secure communication must form part of the upgrade planning process.

    • Contact VOSS support to assist in the reconfiguration of your winrm driver to insecure mode if required

  • Customers who wish to install or enable FIPS that supports Ubuntu Pro should upgrade to release 21.4-PB3.

  • Two key features in Automate 21.4 require specific planning:

    • Admin portal evolution and the deprecation of the Business Admin Portal

    • VOSS Automate license enforcement

Upgrade Overview#

There are a number of changes in a new release that could relate to exposing new features or capabilities in the system. The default, out-of-the box system would expose these. However, on a system where the configuration around the user experience has been applied, this might mean some changes to configured menus, display policies, and so on to expose the new features in your setup.

Where relevant, we have included this information with the feature information to assist in planning for configuration changes as part of the upgrades. This setup could vary.

Important

When upgrading to release 21.4-PB3,

Refer to the detailed steps in the Method of Procedure (MOP) for 21.4 Patch Bundle 3 Installation.
