Scenario 1: Modernize Existing UCC Sites
This is the most common scenario. Use this workflow when you have existing UCC A Unified Contact Center, or UCC, is a queue of interactions (voice, email, IM, etc.) that are handled by Agents. Each UCC has its own settings, IVR menus and Agents. Agents can belong to one or several UCCs and can have multiple skills (competencies). A UCC can be visualized as a contact center “micro service”. Customers can utilize one UCC (e.g. a global helpdesk), a few UCC’s (e.g. for each department or regional office) or hundreds of UCC’s (e.g. for each bed at a hospital). They are interconnected and can all be managed from one central location. sites that need to be upgraded to the modern SPFx-based dashboard for MC1117115 compliance.

Extract UCC_Site_Creator_v8_3_0_6.zip to a folder, for example:
Step 2: Open PowerShell 7
Step 3: Store Your Certificate Password
Step 4: Deploy UCC Dashboard (One-Time)
.\Deploy-UccDashboard.ps1 `
-TenantUrl "https://contoso.sharepoint.com" `
-ClientId "your-client-id" `
-CertificatePath "C:\Certs\cert.pfx" `
-CertificatePassword $certPassword
Wait for the "Tenant Setup Complete!" message.
Step 5a: Modernize a Single Site
.\Modernize-UccSite.ps1 `
-SiteUrl "https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/ucc-sales" `
-ClientId "your-client-id" `
-CertificatePath "C:\Certs\cert.pfx" `
-CertificatePassword $certPassword `
-Tenant "contoso.onmicrosoft.com"
Step 5b: Modernize Multiple Sites (Batch)
Create a CSV file (UccSites.csv) with your site URLs:
SiteUrl
https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/ucc-sales
https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/ucc-support
https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/ucc-hr
Run the batch modernization:
.\Batch-ModernizeUccSites.ps1 `
-InputCsv ".\UccSites.csv" `
-Mode Modernize `
-ClientId "your-client-id" `
-CertificatePath "C:\Certs\cert.pfx" `
-CertificatePassword $certPassword `
-Tenant "contoso.onmicrosoft.com"
Step 6: Verify

Scenario 2: Analyze Before Modernizing
Before making changes, you can analyze your sites to see what will be updated:
Single Site Analysis
.\Modernize-UccSite.ps1 `
-SiteUrl "https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/ucc-sales" `
-Analyze `
-ClientId "your-client-id" `
-CertificatePath "C:\Certs\cert.pfx" `
-CertificatePassword $certPassword `
-Tenant "contoso.onmicrosoft.com"
Batch Analysis
.\Batch-ModernizeUccSites.ps1 `
-InputCsv ".\UccSites.csv" `
-Mode Analyze `
-ClientId "your-client-id" `
-CertificatePath "C:\Certs\cert.pfx" `
-CertificatePassword $certPassword `
-Tenant "contoso.onmicrosoft.com"
Scenario 3: Create New UCC Sites
Use this workflow when deploying UCC to a new tenant or adding new UCC sites.
Step 1: Deploy UCC Dashboard (If Not Already Done)
.\Deploy-UccDashboard.ps1 `
-TenantUrl "https://contoso.sharepoint.com" `
-ClientId "your-client-id" `
-CertificatePath "C:\Certs\cert.pfx" `
-CertificatePassword $certPassword
Step 2: Create Your UCC Site
.\UCC.Site.Creator.ps1 `
-paramUccName "ucc-sales" `
-paramUccTitle "Sales Contact Center" `
-paramSiteCollectionUrl "https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/ucc-sales" `
-paramSiteOwner "admin@contoso.onmicrosoft.com" `
-paramCertificateAppId "your-client-id" `
-paramCertificateTenantId "your-tenant-id" `
-paramCertificatePath "C:\Certs\cert.pfx" `
-paramCertificatePassword $certPassword
Wait for the "UCC Site Creator Complete" message.
Scenario 4: Interactive Authentication (Testing)
For testing purposes, you can use interactive (browser-based) authentication instead of certificates:
Deploy Dashboard Interactively
.\Deploy-UccDashboard.ps1 `
-TenantUrl "https://contoso.sharepoint.com" `
-Interactive `
-ClientId "your-client-id"
Modernize Site Interactively
.\Modernize-UccSite.ps1 `
-SiteUrl "https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/ucc-sales" `
-Interactive `
-ClientId "your-client-id"
A browser window will open for you to sign in.
Common Issues
"Certificate could not be read" Error
Cause: Certificate password is incorrect or not provided.
Solution: Ensure you're passing the password as a SecureString:
"Access Denied" or Permission Errors
Cause: The Entra ID app is missing required permissions.
Solution: Ensure your app has both permissions granted:
- Microsoft Graph:
Sites.FullControl.All(Application) - SharePoint:
Sites.FullControl.All(Application)
Go to Azure Portal → App registrations → Your app → API permissions and verify both are listed with "Granted" status.
UCC Dashboard Web Part Not Available
Cause: The SPFx package wasn't deployed tenant-wide.
Solution: Run Deploy-UccDashboard.ps1 with the -Force flag:
Site Already Modernized
Message: "Site is already modernized!"
Solution: This is informational - your site is already using the modern dashboard. Use -Force to re-run modernization if needed.
