As per the following Microsoft documentation:
Migrating from Skype for Business Online Connector to the Teams PowerShell module
https://aka.ms/sfbocon2tpm
Skype for Business Online (SkypeOnlineConnector) PowerShell connections will be rejected / blocked starting May 17, 2021 and to use Teams PowerShell Module for administration. However, attempting to use Connect-MicrosoftTeams and then executing the Set-CsUser cmdlet to enable a user for Enterprise Voice fails indicating it is not recognized:
Solution
One of the reasons why the Set-CsUser or any Cs- cmdlets will not work even if the MicrosofTeams module is used is if an old version is used. In order for the legacy Cs- cmdlets to be available, Teams PowerShell Module 2.0 or later needs to be installed and imported. The example above has an older module imported:
Get-Module
To update the module to the latest version, execute the following:
Uninstall-Module -Name MicrosoftTeams
Install-Module -Name MicrosoftTeams -RequiredVersion 2.0.0 -AllowClobber
Import-Module -Name MicrosoftTeams
The legacy Cs- cmdlets should now work:
Import-Module MicrosoftTeams
Connect-MicrosoftTeams
$usernameUPN = “tluk@contoso.com”
$extension = “tel:+7899”
Set-CsUser -Identity $usernameUPN -EnterpriseVoiceEnabled $true -HostedVoiceMail $true -OnPremLineURI $extension
Get-CsOnlineUser -Identity $usernameUPN | FL *uri
Grant-CsOnlineVoiceRoutingPolicy -Identity $usernameUPN -PolicyName “Toronto”
Grant-CsTenantDialPlan -PolicyName Toronto -Identity (Get-CsOnlineUser $usernameUPN).SipAddress
