MS Teams

Hi Team.

Is anyone managing MS Teams in anyway with ARS? 

We would like to delegate the ability to a select few service desk people to be able to create MS Teams channels. 

We have a Powershell script that can do it. Is there an easy way maybe of having them execute the PS from within ARS?

    If your current workflow is responding to the tick of a property then what you have is a Change Workflow.  I can't think of a way to have the Change workflow only run on a specific service because I am not aware of service affinity being a property of a Change Workflow.  On the other hand, if this was setup as a Automation Workflow, you can definitely force that to run on only one machine as service affinity is a property of Automation Workflows.

    Indeed, thinking about it, you could have your custom command stamp your VA which in turn triggers a Change Workflow to stamp the Automation workflow's edsvaStartWorkflow = TRUE.

    VA Stamped ===> Triggers Change Workflow to Update Property of Automation Workflow (containing Teams script)  with edsvaStartWorkflow = TRUE.

    Thanks mate. So if i use a Automation workflow to change the VA to kick off the Change Automation , how do i initially kick off the Automation work flow? I dont want this to run on a schedule but just be run as and when the person requesting it needs it

    Change Workflow is where you detect the change to your VA.  That workflow then in turn sets edsvaStartWorkflow = TRUE on the Automation Workflow that contains your Teams logic.

    Hi mate. Sorry i am not following. So i have an Automation Workflow that contains the Powershell script that i want to run. Ok i get that. 

    I then have a Change Workflow that detects changes to the VA. What i am not following is how is the Change Workflow making the Automation Workflow start?

    An Activity in your Change Workflow writes to a property of the Automation Workflow object:  edsvaStartWorkflow.  The value applied is TRUE.  This will launch the Automation Workflow.  The Activity could either be a script Activity containing a PoSh script OR you could see if the Update Activity supports writing to a Workflow object type.

    Thanks. I will see if i can sort that part out. 

    As a side issue, Am i right in thinking that on the Automation Workflow you can only specify the Administration Service to run on when its a scheduled task? Thats what it looks like to me. I need to be able to run on demand from the same server. Is this right or am i missing something
