New-CsTeamsShiftsPolicy cmdlet does not exist using Teams powershell module version 1.1.6

Hello, Does anyone know how to get the CsTeamsShifts cmdlets to work with Teams powershell? I'm trying to Manage shift-based access for Firstline Workers in Teams. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us...

    Hi Denise Child,

     

    The cmdlets which have Cs in the name are part of the Skype for Business Powershell connector. Therefor you first need to setup a session to the connector. Can you try the following

    $sfbSession = New-CsOnlineSession
Import-PSSession $sfbSession -AllowClobber

    The first command, will ask you to authenticate and the second command will import the session with all the cmdlets you need. You should now be able to use the New-CsTeamsShiftsPolicy in your PowerShell session.

     

    Regards,

    Ruud

    RuudGijsbers  Thank you! That worked.

     

    These two commands allowed me to create the new  teams shifts policy.

     

    Connect-MicrosoftTeams

     

    $sfbSession = New-CsOnlineSession
    Import-PSSession $sfbSession -AllowClobber
