Provisioning Points to Consider
You can deploy your phones on the Microsoft Teams & Skype for Business Admin Center or using a provisioning
server.
• Provisioning phones on the Microsoft Teams & Skype for Business Admin Center, which allows you to efficiently
realize centralized management for devices within the enterprise.
• If there is a provisioning server on your environment, and you want to deploy a mass of phones, we recommend
you to use central provisioning method as your primary configuration method. A provisioning server maximizes
the flexibility when you install, configure, upgrade and manage the phones, and enables you to store the
configuration on the server. You can set up a provisioning server on the local area network (LAN) or anywhere on
the Internet.

the phones in different deployment scenarios:
