Limitations & technical notes

!This is an on-demand administration service, not a fixed implementation project or guaranteed service-level agreement unless a separate managed services agreement states otherwise.
!Microsoft retired the retired Microsoft Teams Online after the original publication date of this service. Availability of the retired Microsoft Teams Online administration features depends on the customer tenant, Microsoft service status, licensing, coexistence mode, and any migration to Microsoft Teams.
!External communication and federation behavior may depend on both the customer tenant settings and the external organization’s policies, DNS, security controls, and Microsoft service configuration.
!Activity report data is subject to Microsoft 365 reporting availability, retention, aggregation, and latency; reports may not show real-time activity.
!Work is limited to the listed administration responsibilities. End-user training, local desktop/client configuration, deployment, dial-in conferencing, PSTN Calling, Teams Phone implementation, network remediation, and unrelated Microsoft 365 issues require separate scope.
!Some configuration changes can affect user experience, such as who can communicate externally or how presence and notifications behave. Customer approval should be obtained before changes are applied.
