Teams Rooms Pro: Verify Android AA 830 Before August TAC Redirects

Microsoft Teams administrators should treat the July 2026 move of Android device management to the Teams Rooms Pro Management portal as a live operational test, not a passive portal change. Before Teams admin center workflows begin redirecting in August, verify that every device appears in the Pro portal, runs Admin Agent AA 830, responds to remote commands, reports health data, receives configuration, and remains under update control.
Microsoft Roadmap ID 555235 covers Teams Rooms on Android, Teams phones, Teams panels, and SIP devices. Microsoft says existing TAC-enrolled devices should appear automatically in the Teams Rooms Pro Management portal, so there is no manual fleet migration—but an invisible or outdated device can still become effectively unmanageable once overlapping TAC functions retire in September 2026.
Detailed in Microsoft’s Teams management guidance, the immediate readiness procedure is:

1. Sign in to the Teams Rooms Pro Management portal using an account with the required portal access.
2. Compare the PMP inventory with the device inventory currently visible in the Teams admin center.
3. Confirm that every Android device has Admin Agent AA 830, version 1.0.0.202606082157.product, or later.
4. Correct network policy if devices are missing, offline, or unable to communicate with PMP.
5. Test restart, sign-in, sign-out, and log collection against representative production devices.
6. Confirm that health signals and monitoring data are arriving.
7. Import required TAC configuration profiles into PMP as Settings Templates.
8. Validate update controls before TAC redirects become the default experience.

That test needs to happen now. Discovering in August that a device cannot receive an Admin Agent update, cannot reach the new management service, or exists only in TAC turns an automatic transition into a localized management outage.

Prove That the Fleet Exists Before Testing Features​

The first meaningful check is inventory parity. Export or otherwise record the Teams Rooms on Android, Teams phones, Teams panels, and SIP devices managed through TAC, then compare that population with what appears in PMP.
Do not settle for a handful of recognizable conference rooms appearing in the new portal. The comparison should account for the entire enrolled fleet, including devices at small offices, restricted network locations, shared spaces, and sites that receive less routine administrator attention.
An absent device is not evidence that Microsoft expects a manual migration. Existing TAC-enrolled Android devices are supposed to appear automatically in PMP. A mismatch should instead be treated as a signal to investigate the device’s Admin Agent level and network access.
Network validation must cover the required Microsoft Teams device URLs, not merely prove that the room can join a meeting. A device may retain its user-facing Teams functionality while management traffic is blocked by firewall, proxy, filtering, or allowlisting policy. That creates the dangerous appearance of a healthy endpoint whose administrative channel is unavailable.
WindowsForum previously covered the broader June 2026 introduction of Android devices in the Teams Rooms Pro portal. The sharper issue in July is no longer whether the new inventory view exists, but whether administrators can demonstrate that it contains every device they will need to operate after TAC retirement.

AA 830 Is the Gate Between Visible and Manageable​

Microsoft requires Admin Agent AA 830, specifically version 1.0.0.202606082157.product, for Android management in PMP. Administrators should therefore make the agent check a fleet-wide requirement rather than relying on automatic update assumptions.
The risk is highest where automatic updates are unavailable or have been deliberately disabled. Microsoft says those organizations should manually bring devices to the minimum Admin Agent before TAC management capabilities are deprecated.
The failure path is unusually awkward. Once the relevant TAC capability is gone, an outdated device may no longer be updatable through TAC and may require an OEM portal firmware update before PMP management can resume. The endpoint has not failed as hardware, and it has not necessarily lost Teams service, but the organization has lost its preferred control plane.
That is why agent compliance must be completed while TAC remains available. Waiting for an August redirect to reveal the affected devices sacrifices the easiest recovery route.
Administrators should pay particular attention to update exceptions that were introduced intentionally. A pause used to protect a sensitive meeting space, accommodate an OEM issue, or preserve a tested firmware baseline can leave that device behind the new management prerequisite.

Remote Actions Are the Real Acceptance Test​

Seeing a device tile in PMP proves enrollment and reporting, but it does not prove operational management. Each device class should undergo representative remote-action testing before the transition reaches its default phase.
At minimum, test a remote restart and verify that the target device actually completes the action and returns to a manageable state. Test sign-in and sign-out where operationally safe, and confirm that the portal accurately reports the result rather than leaving an indefinite pending state.
Log collection deserves its own test. Administrators generally request logs when a room or phone is already misbehaving, making the incident itself the worst possible time to discover that collection fails through PMP. Generate a test collection now and confirm that the output is accessible to the staff expected to investigate future incidents.
Health signals should also be evaluated for usefulness, not just presence. Confirm that the portal is receiving current state from representative Teams Rooms on Android devices, panels, phones, and SIP endpoints. A stale or incomplete health view can conceal the same network or agent problems that will later block remote administration.
This is the practical distinction between portal access and management readiness. An administrator can successfully sign in, see part of the fleet, and still be unable to perform the actions required during an outage.

TAC Profiles Need a Deliberate Landing Place​

Microsoft says existing TAC configuration profiles can be imported into PMP as Settings Templates. Administrators should identify the profiles that matter, perform that import, and validate the resulting settings against representative devices.
The word “import” should not be interpreted as proof of equivalence. Check that the expected template is associated with the correct devices and that the target hardware receives the intended configuration. Record any profile that is obsolete, duplicated, or no longer appropriate rather than transferring years of configuration history without review.
This is also an opportunity to verify administrative access boundaries. The staff responsible for rooms, phones, panels, or SIP devices must be able to reach the appropriate PMP views and perform their assigned work before TAC redirects begin. Testing only with a broadly privileged emergency account can conceal access failures affecting daily operators.
The portal is already taking on a wider role in Microsoft’s rooms strategy. WindowsForum has also examined Teams Rooms Pro building insights for BYOD upgrade planning, while Teams Rooms on Android is receiving separate July changes such as the modernized Gallery. Those feature rollouts make reliable centralized management more important: the device fleet is changing at the same time as its administrative home.

July Is Validation; August Is Exposure​

Microsoft’s current schedule places full PMP management workflows in July 2026. TAC workflows are expected to redirect increasingly to PMP in August, followed by retirement of remaining overlapping TAC device-management functions in September.
Those dates describe a progressive transition rather than a single cutover night. That reduces the likelihood of one fleet-wide incident, but it also makes incomplete preparation easier to miss. Different administrators may encounter redirects at different points in their normal work and assume a missing function is temporary or role-related.
A useful internal deadline is therefore earlier than Microsoft’s September retirement target. Organizations should complete inventory reconciliation, AA 830 compliance, network validation, remote-action testing, Settings Template imports, health checks, logging tests, and update-control verification while TAC can still serve as a comparison and recovery path.
The essential pre-July and early-July evidence should be concise:

• Every expected Android room, phone, panel, and SIP device appears in PMP.
• Every Android endpoint meets the AA 830 minimum requirement.
• Required management traffic passes current network policy.
• Authorized administrators can access the portal and their assigned fleet.
• Restart, sign-in, sign-out, and log collection work on representative devices.
• Health and monitoring signals are current.
• Required TAC configuration profiles have become validated PMP Settings Templates.
• Update behavior remains understood and controlled.

This is not a manual migration project, and administrators should not create unnecessary device-touch work by treating it as one. It is a control-plane readiness exercise: prove that the automatic enrollment has worked, then prove that the resulting devices can actually be operated.
By August, a TAC redirect should feel uneventful because PMP has already become the team’s working console. If that redirect is the first time an administrator discovers a missing device, blocked network path, failed remote action, or obsolete Admin Agent, Microsoft’s automatic transition will have exposed a management outage that could have been found weeks earlier.

[ChatGPT]

Confirm every affected device in Teams Rooms Pro Management, verify AA 830 where applicable, test delegated access, and resolve exceptions before TAC redirects increase in August 2026.

Readiness checklist​

• Inventory Teams Rooms on Android, Teams phones, Teams panels, and SIP devices.
• Compare the expected fleet with the devices that appear in Teams Rooms Pro Management (PMP).
• Verify Admin Agent AA 830, version 1.0.0.202606082157.product, on applicable Android devices.
• Test PMP access with the actual technician roles used in production—not only Global Administrator.
• Run an organization-defined test matrix for each device class and support role.
• Assign owners and deadlines to missing, offline, outdated, duplicated, or inaccessible devices.
• Replace internal instructions that still send technicians to the Teams admin center (TAC).
• Repeat access and inventory checks before August redirects and September retirement.

Microsoft’s transition guidance says Android device-management capabilities begin moving at the end of June 2026, with full PMP workflows planned for July and increased TAC redirects in August. The remaining overlapping TAC workflows are scheduled to retire in September, although Microsoft says the timeline may be refined.

Run the Cutover Before TAC Forces It​

WindowsForum users discussing the change have consistently treated it as an operational test rather than a passive portal switch. The WindowsForum report “Teams Rooms Pro: Verify Android AA 830 Before August TAC Redirects” identified the agent requirement as an immediate readiness gate. The report “June 2026: Manage Teams Rooms Android, Panels, Phones in Teams Rooms Pro Portal” likewise emphasized that administrators must prepare their support model before the old TAC workflows disappear.
Microsoft expects eligible device records to appear automatically in PMP. That is a Microsoft-confirmed transition behavior, but automatic appearance does not establish that every expected device is present, current, reachable, or accessible to its assigned support team. The checks below are WindowsForum recommendations for validating the organization’s operating model.
Use this cutover runbook during July and August:

1. Inventory every Teams Rooms on Android device, Teams phone, Teams panel, and SIP device in the transition scope.
2. Record each device’s type, location, business owner, support group, current management state, and business criticality.
3. For applicable Android devices, record whether Admin Agent AA 830, version 1.0.0.202606082157.product, has been verified.
4. Sign in to PMP with each administrative role that technicians will use after the transition. Use Microsoft’s current documentation or the organization’s approved portal entry point rather than relying on saved instructions that may become outdated.
5. Compare the devices visible in PMP with the authoritative inventory and the current TAC view. Investigate missing, duplicated, stale, offline, or inaccessible records.
6. Create a pilot set that includes representative rooms, phones, panels, and SIP devices, plus at least one branch or restricted-network location.
7. Run the organization-defined test matrix for each device class. Record only observed behavior; do not infer that a workflow exists merely because a device appears in PMP.
8. Rewrite procedures that still direct technicians to TAC, including portal bookmarks, screenshots, role-elevation instructions, escalation notes, and incident templates.
9. Assign an owner, deadline, and service plan to every unresolved exception.
10. Repeat the inventory, agent, and technician-access checks before August redirects become common.

For this runbook, WindowsForum defines “operationally ready” as a device that appears in the expected management inventory, meets applicable prerequisites, and can be accessed by its assigned support role for the organization-defined tasks that have actually been tested. This is an operational acceptance definition, not a Microsoft product guarantee.

June, July, August, and September Are Different Milestones​

The rollout can sound contradictory if “starting June 2026” is interpreted as a single cutover date. Microsoft describes a phased transition.
The movement starts at the end of June. July is intended to provide the full PMP workflow set, August brings increased redirects from TAC, and September is the planned retirement point for remaining overlapping TAC device-management features.
Organizations should use the overlap period to compare inventories, validate delegated access, and update support procedures. By September, PMP should already be the organization’s documented first stop for affected management work rather than a portal technicians encounter for the first time during an incident.
Microsoft says the dates may be refined as development progresses. Administrators should monitor current Microsoft transition guidance for changes to timing, scope, and prerequisites. A schedule adjustment would not make completed inventory, agent, access, or documentation checks useless.
SIP devices need explicit attention even though the AA 830 prerequisite discussed here applies to the affected Android fleet. Include SIP devices in inventory reconciliation, role testing, and the organization-defined validation matrix. Do not apply the Android agent check to a SIP device unless Microsoft’s documentation for that device class specifically requires it.

---

AA 830 Is the Technical Admission Ticket​

For applicable Android devices, AA 830 version 1.0.0.202606082157.product is the minimum management requirement. A device should not be classified as ready merely because it is powered on, signed in to Teams, or visible in TAC.
WindowsForum recommends tracking at least these exception states:

• AA 830 verified, device present in PMP, and assigned-role tests passed.
• AA 830 verified, but the device is missing, offline, duplicated, stale, or inaccessible to its assigned support role.
• Device present in PMP, but AA 830 has not been verified.
• Android device below AA 830.
• SIP device inventoried but not yet validated under the SIP-specific test matrix.
• Device status unresolved because the required evidence was not collected.

These are proposed runbook states, not Microsoft-defined PMP status labels.
For an Android device below AA 830, assign an exception owner and use an update method that the organization has separately validated against current Microsoft documentation. The supplied transition information does not establish a particular TAC click path, scheduling behavior, deployment sequence, or post-update reconnect process, so those steps should not be improvised in this runbook.
After remediation, independently verify the reported agent version before moving the device into the ready state. Keep devices with unverified or older agents on the exception list even if their records appear in PMP. Automatic inventory appearance and agent readiness are separate conditions.

PMP RBAC Must Replace Real TAC Work, Not Role Names​

Portal access requires a qualifying Microsoft Entra role or an appropriate PMP role. An important edge case involves Microsoft Entra Administrative Units: an administrator scoped only through an Administrative Unit cannot access PMP unless a Global Administrator or Teams Administrator creates a suitable custom PMP role.
A successful test performed only with a Global Administrator account therefore does not demonstrate that regional technicians, meeting-room support teams, or outsourced operators can complete their assigned work.
Map access by organization-defined task. For each support group, document whether it needs to:

• View the devices assigned to its scope.
• Review the information required for triage.
• Carry out a specifically named and approved task.
• Participate in a controlled change under the organization’s process.
• Escalate work outside its least-privilege role.

Test representative technician accounts through their normal sign-in and conditional-access path, without temporary tenant-wide elevation. Record the role, scope, device class, expected result, and observed result.
Do not describe an action as supported merely because it existed in TAC or because a broad administrator can see it. The transition facts supplied here do not establish exact action parity between TAC and PMP for every Android or SIP device class.

---

Use an Organization-Defined Test Matrix​

Microsoft’s transition establishes the destination and timetable, but the supplied facts do not document every PMP action for every device class. WindowsForum therefore recommends a clearly labeled local test matrix instead of vague checks for “remote actions” or “update management.”
A practical matrix should include these columns:

Test field	What to record
Device class	Room on Android, phone, panel, or SIP device
Pilot device	Asset identifier and location
Technician role	The normal production role used
Organization-defined task	A specific task the support team expects to perform
Expected access	View, change, escalate, or no access
Observed PMP result	What the technician actually saw or could do
Completion evidence	The evidence your organization requires
Exception owner	Team or person responsible for follow-up
Retest date	When the failed or incomplete test will be repeated

Name each task precisely. Examples might include locating a device record, reviewing the information required by the help desk, or initiating a particular organization-approved procedure—but include a task only after current Microsoft documentation and your tenant confirm that it applies to that device class.
Questions about settings, approvals, stopping changes, configuration restoration, or fallback procedures belong in the local matrix only if the organization depends on them. This article does not assert that PMP provides those behaviors or that they work like TAC. Record the documented method and observed result rather than assuming equivalence.
Include a normal production room, a business-critical room, a phone, a panel, a SIP device, and a remote location with restrictive network controls where those classes exist. Testing one convenient conference room cannot validate the fleet.
The exception plan should also avoid assuming that TAC will remain a dependable fallback. Define service-preservation and escalation procedures using documentation already approved by the organization. Where no validated procedure exists, record that gap as an exception instead of inventing a recovery path during an incident.
End users are not being asked to reenroll every room device manually. The primary transition affects administrators and support teams, although users may still experience delays if old instructions, missing access, or unresolved device exceptions disrupt support.

Frequently Asked Questions​

Do administrators need to manually migrate every device?​

Microsoft expects eligible device records to appear automatically in PMP. Administrators should still compare PMP with their authoritative inventory and TAC, then investigate missing, stale, duplicated, offline, or inaccessible devices.

Which device types belong in the transition inventory?​

Include Teams Rooms on Android, Teams phones, Teams panels, and SIP devices. Apply the AA 830 check to applicable Android devices; validate SIP devices through a device-class-specific test matrix rather than assuming the Android agent requirement applies.

Where do administrators open PMP?​

Use Microsoft’s current documentation or the organization’s approved entry point for Teams Rooms Pro Management. This runbook intentionally avoids an unsupported portal URL or fixed navigation path that could change during rollout.

What Admin Agent version is required?​

The stated minimum for applicable Android devices is AA 830, version 1.0.0.202606082157.product.

What should an administrator do if a device is below AA 830?​

Record it as an exception, assign an owner, and use the organization’s separately validated update procedure based on current Microsoft documentation. Verify the agent version after remediation before marking the device ready.

Does appearing in PMP prove that a device is fully manageable?​

No. Automatic appearance is Microsoft’s expected transition behavior. Inventory reconciliation, delegated-role testing, prerequisite verification, and the organization-defined test matrix are WindowsForum recommendations.

Does PMP provide every TAC capability in the same way?​

Do not assume that it does. The supplied transition facts do not establish parity for settings, approvals, updates, recovery, or other actions across all device classes. Test and document only the workflows your organization requires and current Microsoft documentation supports.

What should be completed before redirects increase?​

Complete fleet reconciliation, AA 830 verification for applicable Android devices, delegated-role tests, SIP-device validation, procedure updates, and exception assignment. Support documentation should direct technicians to PMP before TAC stops being a dependable path.
