Enable or
Disable Users for Lync Server
To disable or re-enable a previously enabled user account for Lync
Server
To permanently disable a Lync Server user account, use
the Disable-CsUser cmdlet:
Disable-CsUser –Identity "John Smith"
When you run the preceding command, the user's Lync account will be
disabled and all Lync Server-related attributes (including the policies
assigned to that user) will be deleted from the user account. (Note that the
user's Active Directory user account will not be deleted.) If you later
decide to once more give the user access to Lync Server you will need to re-run
the Enable-CsUser cmdlet, reassign any per-user policies, and reset property
values such as the user's line URI and SIP address.
To temporarily disable a Lync Server user account, use the Set-CsUser
cmdlet to set the account's Enabled property to False:
Set-CsUser –Identity "John Smith" –Enabled $False
When you run the preceding command the user will still have a valid
Lync Server account, and that account will retain all its current settings
(including any per-user policies that have been assigned to the user). However,
the user will not be able to log on to Lync Server until his or her account has
been re-enabled.
To re-enable a user whose Lync Server account has been temporarily
disabled, use the Set-CsUser cmdlet to set the account's Enabled property to
True:
Set-CsUser –Identity "John Smith" –Enabled $True
Set, View, and
Send a User's Dial-in Conferencing PIN
To set a user’s PIN
Lync Server PowerShell provides two different ways to
assign a PIN number to a user. To have Lync Server randomly generate a PIN
number for the user, use a command similar to this one:
Set-CsClientPin -Identity "John Smith"
The assigned PIN number will appear onscreen, like this:
Identity Pin
PinReset
-------- ---
--------
Sip:john@pro.com
55279
True
Note. It will be up to you to notify the user of his or her
new PIN number; Lync Server will not automatically send these notifications for
you.
Alternatively, you can include the Pin parameter and assign a
specific PIN number to a user:
Set-CsClientPin -Identity "John Smith" -Pin
10122231
You can also pipe multiple user accounts to Set-CsClientPin and Lync
Server will automatically assign a new PIN number to each of those accounts.
For example:
Get-CsUser –LdapFilter "Department=Test" |
Set-CsClientPin
Move Users to
Another Pool
To move selected users to a different server or pool
To move a user from one Registrar pool to another, use
the Move-CsUser cmdlet:
Move-CsUser -Identity "John Smith" -Target
"gs-lab.pro.com"
You can also move multiple users by piping more than one user
Identity (in this case, the Active Directory display name) to the Move-CsUser
cmdlet:
"John Smith", "Alex Branon",
"Gareth Winner" | Move-CsUser -Target
"gs-lab.pro.com"
To move all users from one server or pool to a different server or pool
To move all the users from a specified pool to a
different pool, first use the Get-CsUser cmdlet to retrieve all the users from
that pool; in the following command, the Filter value {RegistrarPool –eq "gs-lab2.pro.com"}
limits the returned user accounts to those users homed on the pool gs-lab2.pro.com.
That collection of user accounts can then be piped to the Move-CsUser cmdlet:
Get-CsUser -Filter {RegistrarPool –eq "gs-lab2.pro.com"}|
Move-CsUser -Target "gs-lab.pro.com"
To move users from one pool to a different pool by using a filter
To move a selected group of users (based on an Active
Directory attribute) first use the Get-CsUser cmdlet and the LdapFilter
parameter to retrieve the desired set of users. After retrieving the
appropriate user accounts you can then pipe all those accounts to the
Move-CsUser cmdlet:
Get-CsUser -LdapFilter "Department=Finance" |
Move-CsUser -Target "gs-lab.pro.com"
Assign Policies to Users
Assign a Conferencing Policy to Modify a User's Default Meeting
Experience
To assign a per-user conferencing policy
To assign a per-user conferencing policy to a user, use a
command similar to this, specifying the Identity of the per-user policy as the
parameter value for the PolicyName parameter:
Grant-CsConferencingPolicy –Identity "John Smith"
–PolicyName "GLabConferencingPolicy"
If you later decide to remove that conferencing policy (and thus have
the user managed by the global policy or his or her site policy) use the
following command, which sets the PolicyName property to a null value:
Grant-CsConferencingPolicy –Identity "John Smith"
–PolicyName $Null
Specify Client Versions Supported for Sign-in by a User
To assign a per-user client version policy
To assign a per-user client version policy to a user, use
a command similar to this, specifying the Identity of the per-user policy as
the parameter value for the PolicyName parameter:
Grant-CsClientVersionPolicy –Identity "John Smith"
–PolicyName "GLabClientVersionPolicy"
If you later decide to remove that client version policy
(and thus have the user managed by the global policy, a service policy, or his
or her site policy) use the following command, which sets the PolicyName
property to a null value:
Grant-CsClientVersionPolicy –Identity "John Smith"
–PolicyName $Null
Assign Specific Dial-in Conferencing PIN Security Settings to a User
To assign a per-user PIN policy
To assign a per-user PIN policy to a user, use a command
similar to this, specifying the Identity of the per-user policy as the
parameter value for the PolicyName parameter:
Grant-CsPinPolicy –Identity "John Smith"
–PolicyName "GLabPinPolicy"
If you later decide to remove that PIN policy (and thus
have the user managed by the global policy or his or her site policy) use the
following command, which sets the PolicyName property to a null value:
Grant-CsPinPolicy –Identity "John Smith"
–PolicyName $Null
Apply External User Access Policies to Users
To apply an external user policy to a user account
To assign a per-user external access policy to a user,
use a command similar to this, specifying the Identity of the per-user policy
as the parameter value for the PolicyName parameter:
Grant-CsExternalAccessPolicy –Identity "John Smith"
–PolicyName "GLabExternalAccessPolicy"
If you later decide to remove that external access policy
(and thus have the user managed by the global policy or his or her site policy)
use the following command, which sets the PolicyName property to a null value:
Grant-CsExternalAccessPolicy –Identity "John Smith"
–PolicyName $Null
Configure Archiving of a User's Communications
To assign a per-user archiving policy
To assign a per-user archiving policy to a user, use a
command similar to this, specifying the Identity of the per-user policy as the
parameter value for the PolicyName parameter:
Grant-CsArchivingPolicy
–Identity "John Smith" –PolicyName "GLabArchivingPolicy"
If you later decide to remove that archiving policy (and thus have the user
managed by the global policy or his or her site policy) use the following
command, which sets the PolicyName property to a null value:
Grant-CsArchivingPolicy
–Identity "John Smith" –PolicyName $Null
Assign a Location Policy to a User
To assign a per-user location policy
To assign a per-user conferencing policy to a user, use a command similar
to this, specifying the Identity of the per-user policy as the parameter value
for the PolicyName parameter:
Grant-CsLocationPolicy –Identity "John Smith"
–PolicyName "GLabLocationPolicy"
Enable a User for Enterprise Voice
To enable a user account for Enterprise Voice
To enable a user for Enterprise Voice, use Set-CsUser to
set the EnterpriseVoiceEnabled property to True and to assign the user a unique
line URI:
Set-CsUser
–Identity "John Smith" -EnterpriseVoiceEnabled $True –LineUri
"TEL:+440207123456"
Configure Telephony for Users
To configure telephony for a specific user account
To configure telephony options for a user, use the
Set-CsUser cmdlet. The following command enables a user for Enterprise Voice
and assigns that user a line URI:
Set-CsUser –Identity "John Smith"
–EnterpriseVoiceEnabled $True –LineUri "TEL:+440207123400"
To enable remote call control for a user, use the following command:
Set-CsUser –Identity "John Smith"
-RemoteCallControlTelephonyEnabled $True –LineUri "TEL:+440207123400"
This command enables PC-to-PC audio communications for the user, but
without enabling either remote call control or Enterprise Voice:
Set-CsUser –Identity "John Smith" –EnterpriseVoiceEnabled
$False -RemoteCallControlTelephonyEnabled $False –LineUri
"TEL:+440207123400"
