Overview of deployment tasks in Microsoft 365 Lighthouse

A tenant's deployment plan is complete when all tasks are compliant or explicitly dismissed. Microsoft 365 Lighthouse assesses each task based on the following factors:

Factor	Description
Is the tenant licensed for the required services associated with the task?	Tasks that aren't licensed won't be eligible for deployment. Tasks that aren't licensed may be Dismissed. Once Lighthouse detects that the tenant is licensed for the required services associated with the task, the status will be updated automatically.
Is the task related to other tasks?	Tasks related to other tasks must be completed in sequential order. Subsequent tasks will be eligible for deployment once the pre-requisite tasks are Compliant.
Can the configuration associated with the task be deployed through Lighthouse?	Tasks that require configurations that can't be deployed through Lighthouse will require manual implementation. Lighthouse can't deploy tasks when it can't detect any existing configuration.
Was the task dismissed?	Dismissed tasks aren't eligible for deployment. Dismissed tasks can be Reinstated. Once a task is Reinstated, the status will be updated automatically.
Is the task compliant?	Compliant tasks require no further action, but users may review task details and existing configurations.
