Hello,

 

For companies who have an Exchange on-premise server, how can we do now to use a room account without modern authentication?

This option disappeared in the account parameters, it was still available in the previous Teams version 4.18.

I just did a local reset of the computer of the room but it keeps Teams 4.19.57.0 and I can't deactivate the modern authentication that I must use in all our rooms to connect correctly to the Exchange on-prem server.

Now the account is detected but it doesn't show the meeting list on the screen. It says "Sync failed".

 

I applied the patch to deactivate "TeamsRoomsNewExperience" and now it says "Cannot fetch calendar" and the "Meet" button on the touchscreen is blocked. So I activated again "TeamsRoomsNewExperience" so I can invite the room directly from another computer.

 

We just ordered a Microsoft Teams Pro license to be able to deactivate the modern authentication and we can't use the room now.
