Setting up Your Environment

To fully benefit from this book, you should have a basic understanding of Microsoft 365 and general IT administration principles. Familiarity with the Microsoft 365 admin center, Microsoft Teams admin center, Microsoft 365 apps and services, and PowerShell will be advantageous. The book assumes a Windows, macOS, or Linux operating system environment. Note that Teams Desktop on Linux was retired in 2022, but you can still use the admin centers via a browser and PowerShell for administration.
