Microsoft Teams Phone Number Attribute in Active Directory
Hi,
I need to find users in Active Directory who have no Telephone number entry in the AD field but with assigned phone numbers in Teams? I have to type the phone number in Active Directory manually. I need to find a report or solution, so I could update our AD if the person in our team already assigned a phone number in Teams. Any solution to this? Thank you.
somnio0505 Thank you for the information. This confirms that there is no direct attribute between the two, and that the information lives in two different environment. I will check out the script. I appreciate the time and help on this.

There's a great write up here that shows exactly how to do this using the Teams Powershell Module. There's even a script provided that can connect to your teams tenant to grab the LineURIs of users and then update the AD telephoneNumber attribute:

If there is no simple way, how about trying to sync with powershell commands.
1. Get all Teams users phone number (using 'MicrosoftTeams' module)
$teamsUsers = Get-CsOnlineUser | Select-Object UserPrincipalName, LineURI
2. Compare phone number between AD and Teams.
(Get-ADUser -Identity $teamsUser -Properties *).Mobile
3. If there is difference, overwrite AD att.

I didn't write the full script.
It seems that it can be applied using the above command and foreach syntax.Thanks.
Can you maybe help me creating the same type of script but then the other way around. Im looking for a way to update phonenumbers of teams users by using the on prem ad.
Kind regards,

- You can generate a list of users with phone numbers assigned as detailed here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/see-a-list-of-phone-numbers-in-your-organization#using-the-teams-powershell-module
Export to CSV and use the file as input for your on-premises objects.
