Best practice in configuring and setting up Teams Rooms with the Smartdock using Teams Rooms Pro license

EnterpriseArchitect 6,041

I need some help with the best practice in configuring Teams meeting room using the Microsoft Teams Rooms Pro license using the Logitech Smartdock https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/b/logitech-smartdock

Due to a change in Microsoft's licensing and account requirements for Logitech Smartdock Teams meetings, my meeting rooms are misconfigured.

I am using the Hybrid Active Directory OnPremise and Entra ID using Azure AD Connect, and also Exchange Hybrid with Exchange 2016.

Here are the settings:

Enabled                    : True
Name                       : Head Office Hub
UserPrincipalName          : ******@domain.com
msExchRecipientDisplayType : -2147483642
msExchRecipientTypeDetails : 2147483648
msExchRemoteRecipientType  : 1
PrimarySMTPAddress         : ******@domain.com
OnPremise ECP Showing As   : Remote user mailbox
License assigned in M365   : Microsoft 365 E3
 
 
Enabled                    : True
Name                       : East Coast Office Hub
UserPrincipalName          : ******@domain.com
msExchRecipientDisplayType : -2147481850
msExchRecipientTypeDetails : 8589934592
msExchRemoteRecipientType  : 33
PrimarySMTPAddress         : ******@domain.com
OnPremise ECP Showing As   : Remote Room mailbox
License assigned in M365   : Microsoft Teams Rooms Pro

Name                       : West Coast Office Hub
UserPrincipalName          : ******@domain.com
msExchRecipientDisplayType : -2147481850
msExchRecipientTypeDetails : 8589934592
msExchRemoteRecipientType  : 33
PrimarySMTPAddress         : ******@domain.com
OnPremise ECP Showing As   : Remote Room mailbox

I would be grateful for any assistance you can provide.

Thanks.

Hi @EnterpriseArchitect

Setting up Microsoft Teams Rooms with the Smartdock using Teams Rooms Pro license involves several steps. Here are some best practices:

Site readiness: Confirm that your deployment locations meet the deployment dependencies. Work with your networking, facilities, and AV teams to ensure each site and space is ready in terms of power, networking, and display. Consult with your vendor and leverage the experience of your AV team when installing and mounting screens and running cabling.

Service readiness: Define Microsoft Teams Rooms resource accounts. If joining Teams Rooms to Azure Active Directory, prepare an Azure AD group with dynamic membership to hold all of the Teams Rooms resource accounts.

Configuration and Deployment: This involves creating Microsoft Teams or Skype for Business and Exchange accounts and assigning them to Teams Rooms. Set up Teams Rooms Pro Management for your systems.

Setting up Teams Rooms in meeting spaces: Connect the peripheral devices you need.

Please refer to this document for details on the above steps. For detailed guidance in additional configuration options, check out this documentation.

@Anonymous ,
Thank you, in my case here can I update the OnPremise attributes above to make it all the same for all three like:

msExchRecipientDisplayType : -2147481850 msExchRecipientTypeDetails : 8589934592 msExchRemoteRecipientType : 33

will that be compatible with the Teams Room Pro license and also the Smartdock device?

@Anonymous ,
Does Microsoft now restrict the usage of the Teams enabled Meeting room only with the Teams Rooms Pro license?

Hi,

Microsoft offers two licenses for Teams Rooms systems that participate in Teams meetings and calls: Microsoft Teams Rooms Pro and Microsoft Teams Rooms Basic.

Teams Rooms Pro delivers enhanced in-room meeting experiences like intelligent audio and video, front row and large galleries, and dual screen support. It also provides advanced management features like remote device management, conditional access policies, and detailed device analytics. Teams Rooms Pro licenses can be used to license both certified Teams Rooms systems and Teams Panels.

Teams Rooms Basic provides core meeting experiences to organizations that purchase a certified Microsoft Teams Rooms system, at no additional cost. The Teams Rooms Basic license includes scheduling, joining meetings, content sharing, and collaborative white boarding, as well as basic security and management capabilities out-of-the-box.

A Teams Rooms Basic license can be used to license a single certified Teams Rooms system in a room. If you want to log into more than one Teams Rooms system in a room using the same resource account, you need to use a Teams Rooms Pro license. You can assign up to 25 Microsoft Teams Rooms Basic licenses to Teams Rooms systems in your organization. If you need to license more than 25 Teams Rooms systems, those additional licenses need to be Teams Rooms Pro licenses.

Starting July 1, 2023, customers will no longer be able to apply user subscription licenses to sign-in to their Microsoft Teams Rooms devices2. User licenses that have been assigned to teams meeting devices need to be replaced by an approved Teams Rooms license prior to July 1, 202313. Meeting devices that do not have a Team Rooms license after July 1, 2023 will be granted a 90-day grace period ending on September 30, 202312. After the 90-day grace period, devices will be blocked from signing in until a Teams Rooms license is assigned.
