TeamsAACQTools PowerShell Module

Streamline the process of building Auto Attendants, Call Queues, and Resource Accounts in Microsoft Teams with the TeamsAACQTools PowerShell Module. This module is designed to alleviate the complexities of deploying these components, particularly during Skype for Business migrations when existing data is available. The module facilitates the conversion of the "RGSConfig.zip" file from Skype for Business into an Excel workbook that can be seamlessly used to configure these elements in Teams.

Pre-Requirements

Ensure the following prerequisites are met before using the TeamsAACQTools PowerShell Module:

1. Install the ImportExcel module: Run as Administrator in PowerShell: Install-Module ImportExcel
2. Install the MicrosoftTeams Module: Run as Administrator in PowerShell: Install-Module MicrosoftTeams
3. Download ffmpeg: Choose your OS and download from here. Copy it to a chosen location, e.g., "C:\ffmpeg".

Note: You can also use the -InstallModules switch for an interactive installation of required modules. Avoid using this in automation scenarios.

Module Installation

1. Download the module from the GitHub repository.
2. Copy the TeamsAACQTools folder into your PowerShell module repository on your local workstation. To find your local module repository, type $env:PSModulePath in a PowerShell window.
3. Open PowerShell and run: Import-Module TeamsAACQTools.

Export the RGS Configuration

To export the Response Group configuration from Skype for Business, use the following command in the Skype for Business Management Shell:

Export-CsRgsConfiguration -Source "ApplicationServer:my-sfb-fe01.somedomain.com" -FileName "C:\Exports\Rgs.zip"

Please adjust the command parameters according to your specific Skype environment.

Build the Excel Workbook

Once you have exported the RGSConfig.zip (ensure it's unzipped to your desired location) from Skype for Business, you can construct the Excel workbook using this example command:

Import-NasAACQData -rootFolder "C:\AACQ\RgsImportExport" -ffmpeglocation "C:\ffmpeg\bin\ffmpeg.exe" -TenantDomain "mytenant.onmicrosoft.com" -CQRAPrefix "ra_cq_" -AARAPrefix "ra_aa_" -cqReplacementSuffix "CQ" -aaReplacementSuffix "AA"  -logFolder "C:\path\to\log" -Verbose

Important Notes:

• Agent Alert Time will be rounded up to the next multiple of 15 (Teams only allows multiples of 15).
• If OverflowThreshold isn't specified but OverflowAction is, the default OverflowThreshold will be set to 1.
• Agents will be listed as a SIP address without the "sip:" prefix, separated by commas.
• If Language isn't specified, the default Language will be en-GB.

Build Call Queues in Teams

After creating the AACQDataImport.xlsx file and verifying its accuracy, you can execute the following command to create Call Queues in Teams, along with associated Resource Accounts and Resource Account Associations:

Import-NasCQ -CQData "C:\AACQ\RgsImportExport\AACQDataImport-TestLab.xlsx" -logFolder "C:\path\to\log" -Verbose

By default, this command prompts you to back up the Call Queues before proceeding. You can skip this prompt by using the -NoBackup switch.

Build Auto Attendants in Teams

Once the Call Queues are established in Teams, you can use the Auto Attendant function to create Auto Attendants and associate them with the Call Queues (if needed), along with Resource Accounts and Resource Account Associations:

Import-NasAA -AAData "C:\AACQ\RgsImportExport\AACQDataImport-TestLab.xlsx" -logFolder "C:\path\to\log" -Verbose

By default, this command prompts you to back up the Auto Attendants before proceeding. You can bypass this prompt using the -NoBackup switch.

Additional Information:

• Business Hours will be rounded to the nearest multiple of 15. If this exceeds 00:00, the Auto Attendant is assumed to be open 24 hours.
• If Business Hours aren't specified for every day, it's assumed that the Auto Attendant is open 24/7.
• If Business Hours aren't specified for particular days, the Auto Attendant is assumed to be open every day except for those with no specified times.
