Automated Installation

The automated installation process sets up Make Provisioning by creating and configuring most of the required resources in Azure and Microsoft 365. It also records all actions, making future management and troubleshooting easier.

If you’re comfortable using PowerShell and working with Azure or Microsoft 365, this is the recommended option. It saves time by automating nearly everything and provides detailed logs for smooth administration.

Requirements

To complete the installation, ensure the following requirements are met:

  • A Global Administrator account must be used.
  • An Azure subscription is available. Either:
    • The Global Administrator account can create Resource Groups in this subscription, or
    • A Resource Group exists where the Global Administrator account has the Owner role.
    • Important: Before running the script, ensure that Privileged Identity Management (PIM) access is activated for the Global Administrator account. This guarantees the necessary permissions.

Required PowerShell Modules

  • PowerShell v7.2 or newer Download
    Designed for cloud, on-premises, and hybrid environments, PowerShell 7 includes numerous enhancements and new features.

  • Note: The installation script automatically ensures that all other required supporting modules are installed during execution.
