Trouble switching accounts on teams devices

jp flag

Because user licensing for teams devices is deprecated, I need to switch to an Office 365 resource account, licensed with Microsoft Teams Rooms Basic. I've created a resource called 'Teams Meeting Room', with the email address [email protected]. I've logged in to the device with the Teams Meeting Room account, and I've edited the setting for the device in the Microsoft Teams Admin Center, but Teams Rooms on Windows still shows the original user with its Office 365 E3 license.

In Microsoft 365 admin center

Users -> Active Users:

Display name : Sales Team
Username : [email protected]
Licenses: Office 365 E3

Resources -> Rooms & Equipment:

Name  : Teams Meeting Room
Email : [email protected]
Type  : Equipment

Licenses:

License Name      : Microsoft Teams Rooms Basic
Assigned to name  : Teams Meeting Room
Assigned to email : [email protected]

In Microsoft Teams Admin Center > Teams Devices

Teams Rooms on Windows

Display name   : Sales Team
Username       : [email protected]
Device name    : logitech-tap XXXXXXXXXXXX
License        : **Office 365 E3**
Host name      : DESKTOP-XXXXXXX
Health status  : Healthy
Manufacturer   : logitech
Model          : tap
Tags           : --
Offline since  : --
Usage status   : Idle
History        : View

Edit Settings:

Name: Sales Team (logitech-tap XXXXXXXXXXXX)
Email                  : [email protected]
Supported meeting mode : Modern authentication  : On
Exchange address       : [email protected]

On device DESKTOP-XXXXXXX

When I go to DESKTOP-XXXXXXX and go to teams configuration, I'm prompted for the administrator password, then I can set up the login user. I have this set as [email protected].

When I complete the configuration, it shows the license as valid, but when a meeting is started on the device, the display name still shows 'Sales Team', and Microsoft Teams Admin Center > Teams Devices still shows username: [email protected] and License: Office 365 E3.

I feel like I've run out of places to configure -- the settings for the device in Teams Admin Center and the device both point to [email protected] but that's not what's showing on the front page of Teams Admin Center > Teams Devices.

What am I missing?

`1.` How long ago have you made these changes? It can take time for changes to "propagate" through the Office 365 platform and between different services in the platform. `2.` Open a support case in your Office 365 tenant. It's free. They'll help you resolve this.

The changes were made last week. I expect things to take up to a couple of hours to propagate, but 5 calendar days is a bit much. Will try a microsoft support case.
I sit in a Tesla and translated this thread with Ai:

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
