Set-CsPhoneNumberAssignment : An unknown error occurred

Today I ran into an issue where it was not possible to associate a phone number with a user in Microsoft Teams using PowerShell. Even the Teams Admin Center displayed an unknown error.

Microsoft.Teams.ConfigAPI.Cmdlets.internal\Set-CsPhoneNumberAssignment : An unknown error occurred
At C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\MicrosoftTeams\5.5.0\custom\Merged_custom_PsExt.ps1:1339 char:13

neNumberAssignment_Set], Exception
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : BadRequest,Microsoft.Teams.ConfigAPI.Cmdlets.Generated.Cmdlets.SetCsPhoneNumberAssignment_Set

After some investigation, I found out that the user’s usage location was not configured to the correct country. The user was on located to Portugal, the phone number we wanted to associate is +31, which corresponds to the Netherlands.

• Adds new parameters to the Set-CsCallQueue and New-CsCallQueue Cmdlets to enable users to set No Agent Opt In/Logged In options for call handling in Call Queue. New parameters are added for No Agent disconnect/redirection options, target, shared voicemail prompts and whether to enable shared voicemail system prompt suppression and transcription.
