The shell is how you read effective policy and how you assign compliance recording. The portal will not show you every object.
Install the MicrosoftTeams module and connect it to the tenant you named in the foundations track. Confirm you are not in production. Cmdlet parameters move between module versions, so Get-Help in the version you are about to run beats a blog post.
Compliance recording policies are created and granted in this module. If you only learn the portal, you cannot finish a recorder design.
Use the MicrosoftTeams module in a lab tenant. Read Get-Help for the version you are running.
I connect the MicrosoftTeams module to a named tenant and read help before I change anything.
If it fails: A script from last year removes numbers because a parameter changed meaning.
Which description of Effective policy is accurate?
The policy the user actually has after direct assignment and group assignment are resolved. The one you edited may not be it. Get-CsOnlineUser beats the portal memory. Source: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/using-admin-roles accessed 2026-10-14.
A colleague reports: You update a policy that is not assigned. Where do you start?
You update a policy that is not assigned. Read the effective value before and after the change. Source: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/using-admin-roles accessed 2026-10-14.
Which description of Lab tenant is accurate?
A tenant that is not production. Pair a lab SBC there. Do not discover certificate behavior on the company trunk. Production is where rollback costs money. Source: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/direct-routing-plan accessed 2026-10-14.
Around the call: compliance recording, workforce management, emergency location, analytics, CRM screen pop, and an agent with a human escape. Each one has its own failure.
A script from last year removes numbers because a parameter changed meaning.
Cisco CUBE is one of the SBC families named in this lab’s certification lesson. A certified release can be the Direct Routing SBC between Unified CM and Teams.
The tenant still needs a verified domain on the SBC FQDN, and the user still needs Teams Phone. The studio translator does not open a live AXL session. Confirm the current certified release before you build.
Teams Phone and Webex Calling are separate clouds. This lab does not describe a feature that registers a Webex Calling user into a Teams tenant.
A number move is usually a carrier port, a certified SBC, or a meetings interop product. Confirm before relying.
Unified CCE stays the ACD until you migrate it. Microsoft’s contact-center articles name Connect, Extend, and Unify. They do not name a UCCE connector in the notes this lab cites.
Voice into Teams is still Direct Routing or Operator Connect. The routing script stays on the contact-center product you bought. Confirm the vendor’s current model. Source: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/teams-contact-center.
Copilot Studio, Azure Communication Services, and Graph are later tracks in this lab. Treat any uncited limit as confirm before relying.
Opened 2026-10. A row marked confirm did not open. Wikipedia is background. The Teams blog row is the community index.
