# Deploy 8x8 Microsoft Integration for enterprise as an administrator

As an administrator in a large enterprise, you can deploy **8x8 Microsoft Integration** throughout your company remotely by using a deployment tool.

> [!WARNING]
> Important:
> 
> In order for **8x8 Microsoft Integration** to function, ensure that you are using the appropriate plug-ins:
> 
> - Download version **6.1.2** of the plug-in for [calling with **Skype for Business**](https://support.8x8.com/us/Cloud_Phone_Service/Voice_Integrations/Microsoft/Download_Virtual_Office_Skype_for_Business_Integration_for_Windows_Desktop).
> - Download version 6.0 of the plug-ins for [meetings with **Outlook**](https://support.8x8.com/us/Cloud_Phone_Service/Voice_Integrations/Microsoft/Outlook_Plugin_for_Virtual_Office_Meetings_EXE) and [calling with **Outlook**](https://support.8x8.com/us/Cloud_Phone_Service/Voice_Integrations/Microsoft/Outlook_Click_to_Call_Plugin).

To deploy the plug-in remotely:

1. Download the appropriate installation file as an admin:
  - The [**8x8 Work for Outlook** plug-in](https://support.8x8.com/us/Cloud_Phone_Service/Voice_Integrations/Microsoft/Outlook_Plugin_for_Virtual_Office_Meetings_MSI)
  - The [**Outlook** Click to Call plug-in](https://support.8x8.com/us/Cloud_Phone_Service/Voice_Integrations/Microsoft/Outlook_Click_to_Call_Plugin) (as an admin, install the MSI file)

> [!WARNING]
> Important:
> 
> To prevent conflict with an older version of the plug-in, uninstall any older existing version of the plug-in before you deploy.
2. As an Active Directory Domain (ADD) administrator, you can install remotely using specialized deployment tools for pushing installations on all/certain ADD units. You do not need to enter custom parameters, as each plug-in is separate from the others; to control which features are made available to users, simply choose which plug-ins to install.
3. If you are installing via command line, you must:
  - Reference the location of the file.
  - Decide whether you want users to see the progress of the installation; after the file name, enter </qb> to display or </qn> to hide.

## Log in to the integration

Depending on which version of integration with **Outlook** you have deployed, your users may need to log in to some components manually:

- **As a user of version 6.0 of the 8x8 Work for Outlook plug-in**: You must go to your **Outlook Mail ![](https://cdn.us.document360.io/e3a59e39-abd3-4423-964c-0a4008dc5673/Images/Documentation/tab-outlook-mail_18x18.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-03T22%3A40%3A27Z&se=2026-11-03T23%3A40%3A27Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=dXo%2Fm4qUBz%2BaXTr%2FielKNu7%2FoOnWRNi0UhSIcktSZ5o%3D)** or **Calendar ![](https://cdn.us.document360.io/e3a59e39-abd3-4423-964c-0a4008dc5673/Images/Documentation/tab-outlook-calendar_18x18.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-03T22%3A40%3A27Z&se=2026-11-03T23%3A40%3A27Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=dXo%2Fm4qUBz%2BaXTr%2FielKNu7%2FoOnWRNi0UhSIcktSZ5o%3D)**, open the **8x8** menu in the header, and select **Log In**.

> [!WARNING]
> Important:
> 
> Version 6.0.0 of the plug-in contains an issue that can prevent **Single Sign-On** from working properly; in order to log in as a user enabled for **Single Sign-On**, [update to version 6.0.1](/documentation/docs/deploy-8x8-microsoft-integration-for-enterprise-as-an-administrator#).
