Updated October 29, 2026: We have updated the content and timeline. Thank you for your patience.
What and Why:
The TAC device management deprecation, originally planned for September 2026, has been extended into November 2026 to allow additional time for remaining feature dependencies and customer migration.
To avoid disruption to device management, we recommend completing your transition to PMP and ensuring your devices meet the required prerequisites.
We previously announced this retirement in MC1227622.
Rollout Schedule:
The deprecation of Teams device management capabilities in TAC will begin in November 2026 and will roll out in phases based on device type and feature readiness.
- For public clouds -
- SIP, MTR-A and Panels devices administration experience in TAC will start deprecating by Mid-November and will complete by end of November.
- Phones devices administration experience in TAC will start deprecating by early December and complete by December 15th.
- For Gov clouds ( GCC, GCC-H and DoD)
- For GCC-H and DoD, device administration experience in TAC will start deprecating by early December and will be completed by December 15th.
- For GCC, devices administration experience in TAC will start deprecating by early January and will be completed by January 30th.
- Phones devices administration experience for all Sovereign cloud (GCC, GCC-H, DoD) customers will start deprecating by early January and will be completed by January 30th.
Impact on your organization:
Who is affected
Admins managing:
- Teams Rooms on Android
- Teams phones
- Teams panels
- SIP phones
What will happen
As TAC device management capabilities are deprecated, overlapping management capabilities will transition to PMP, including:
- Complete device inventory, including metadata and app information.
- Remote actions such as restart, log collection, sign-in, sign-out, provisioning, and more
- Update management
- Device settings and configuration profiles
- Device health signals and monitoring
- SIP device management
PMP is becoming the primary portal for managing these Teams devices.
Organizations that have not completed the required migration steps may experience limited ability to manage their devices in TAC as the corresponding capabilities are deprecated.
Action Required/Recommendations:
Please complete the following steps as soon as possible to ensure your devices are ready for the transition:
- Sign in to the Teams Rooms Pro Management portal and verify that your Teams Android devices are visible and manageable in PMP.
- Complete the required prerequisites, including updating the Teams Android Admin Agent to the required version and allowlisting the required network endpoints.
- Bring offline or currently unused Teams Android devices online and ensure they meet the required Admin Agent version and other prerequisites so they can connect to PMP successfully.
- Review devices running unsupported or end-of-life software versions or significantly outdated Teams Android Admin Agent versions. Update these devices to a supported version and confirm that they appear in PMP.
- Address any devices that are not currently connected to PMP. Devices that do not meet the prerequisites or remain offline may not transition successfully and could have limited management capabilities after the corresponding TAC functionality is deprecated.
