Sync in Azure Users#

Users are synced in from Azure once you’ve set up the Microsoft UC applications (including PowerShell). Next, you’ll need to configure the Microsoft tenant connection parameters.

When using Microsoft to manage UC provisioning, you will need a number of different portals in a tenant:

  • Azure

  • Microsoft 355 Admin Center

  • A portal on the Microsoft Teams side for telephony (once users are licensed through Microsoft Office 365)

  • Optionally, you can also add MS Exchange 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’ll need to install and configure one or more Microsoft Windows PowerShell Proxy servers. This allows VOSS Automate to access Azure via the PowerShell. For details, see Set up the PowerShell Proxy Server

  • Once you’ve installed the Microsoft Windows PowerShell service, you’ll use the IP address and credentials of the proxy server to configure the Microsoft tenant.
