Not deploying Jabber yet (that will be next), however going through this 
exercise to create RMA/SNR config for MS Teams.

Using AXL to gather the data and fix any major issues/see what the current 
config is. Then AXL again to set the desired config. Thus far it works great. 
That said there was a significant invest of time to script this. Though it’s 
far less than what would have been required to do this another way.

Plan to build upon the same code to build CSFs for anyone that has a soft phone 
and migraine UCCE agent lines.
