Populate AD Telehone Number from Skype LineURI

Often I need to populate the AD Telephone Number from the LineURI. Although there are a number of blogs describing this process, if you know me..keep it simple, right?

So here is my KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) method:-

# Collect LineURI for Users
$LineURIUsers = Get-Csuser -Filter { LineURI -ne $Null } | Select-Object LineURI, SamAccountName
foreach ($user in $LineURIUsers)
{
$LineURI = $user.LineUri
# Format the Line URI to something more acceptable in AD. Removing the Tel: (and other variants of this) and replacing ;ext= with a x
$LineURI = $LineURI.trim(“tel:”)
$LineURI = $LineURI.trim(“TEL:”)
$LineURI = $LineURI.trim(“Tel:”)
$LineURI = $LineURI -replace “;ext=”, ” x”
#Set the AD Telephone Number from the results above
Write-Host “Setting Telephone Number for user “ $user.SamAccountName “to “ $LineURI
Set-ADUser $user.SamAccountName -OfficePhone $LineURI;
}
$count = $LineURIUsers | Measure-Object | Select-Object -expand count
Write-Host “`n”
Write-Host “A total of “ $count “AD Users have been updated”
$NoLineURIUsers = Get-Csuser -Filter { EnterpriseVoiceEnabled -eq $true -and LineURI -eq $Null } | Select-Object SamAccountName
$count = $NoLineURIUsers | Measure-Object | Select-Object -expand count
Write-Host “`n”
Write-Host “A total of” $count “AD Users do not have a LineURI set,but are Enterprise Voice Enabled”
Write-Host “`n”
Write-Host “These are as follows:- `n”
foreach ($user in $NoLineURIUsers)
{
Write-Host $user.SamAccountName
}

SCRIPT: Enable Skype for Business users for Hosted UM

This script gets all the users that are Enterprise Voice Enabled. It then feeds the SIP address of each of these users to the foreach loop, effectively granting the HostedVoiceMailPolicy and setting HostedVoiceMail to True

#Variables
$hostedVMPolicy = “CloudUM” #rename to match your HostedVoiceMailPolicy
$userlist = get-csuser | where{ $_.enterprisevoiceenabled -eq “true” }
foreach ($user in $userlist)
{
Write-Host “Granting Hosted VoiceMail Policy to” $user.sipaddress
Grant-CsHostedVoicemailPolicy $user.sipaddress -policyname $hostedVMPolicy
set-csuser $user.sipaddress -HostedVoiceMail $true
}

Switching RGS Audio files

This script was created to allow a customer to quickly change the audio file (MOH) used by the RGS workflow. The idea was for an IT Service Desk that would announce known outages etc by means of their queue music. They would have a list of pre-recorded audio files and by means of the script simply select the file they wanted to use. OF course the use case can be anything really, sales specials, marketing pitch etc.

Set TelURI from AD Office Phone

For this one you need to have RSAT (Remote Server Administration Tools) installed
You could install that with the following line:
Add-WindowsFeature RSAT-AD-Powershell

#Importing the AD Module

Import-Module ActiveDirectory

#Collect all the Lync users and store as a variable$users = Get-CSUser

#The foreach loopForeach ($user in $users)
{
   $Tel = $user.LineURI
   $Tel = $Tel.Replace(“tel:”, “”)
   If ($Tel -ne “”)
   {
      Set-ADUser -Identity $user.SAMAccountName -OfficePhone $Tel
   }
}

Change SIP domain for all users

It isn’t everyday that you come across this but since many make the mistake of using their AD Domain name as their SIP domain, it does certainly come up.

Just remember that you will already have added the new SIP domain to the topology, all certificates sorted etc.

# Collect all the users and store as a variable
$Users = Get-CsUser

#The foreach loop
#Edit the bold bits to match your requirements

foreach ($User in $Users)
{
   $oldSIPDomain = $User.SipAddress
   $newSIPDomain = $oldSIPDomain -replace “@oldsipdomain.com“, “@newsipdomain.com“
   Set-CsUser -Identity $User.Identity -SipAddress $newAddress
}

Running Lync Server Management Shell Remotely

Based on http://blogs.technet.com/b/nexthop/archive/2010/06/16/qsremoteaccess.aspx
First you will need to create a powershell script, next we will create a shortcut that runs the powershell script.
I use the following details in my script:-
******************************************************************************************************

Param (
         [switch] $AuthenticationPrompt = $false,
         [string] $AdminUsername = “domain\username”
       )
$Error.Clear()
If ($AuthenticationPrompt) {
     Write-Host -ForegroundColor Green “Requesting Credentials for Lync Server Administrative Session”
    $CSSession = New-PSSession -ConnectionUri https://<FrontEnd Pool FQDN>/ocspowershell -Credential $AdminUsername -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
                           } 
else 
    {
    $CSSession = New-PSSession -ConnectionUri https://<FrontEnd Pool FQDN>/ocspowershell -Authentication NegotiateWithImplicitCredential -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
    }
If ($Error.count -gt 0)
      {
    Write-Host -ForegroundColor Red “Unable to Connect to Lync Server Administrative Session`n Error:” $Error
      }
else
   {
    $ImportResults = Import-PSSession -Session $CSSession
    Write-Host -ForegroundColor Green “Connected to Lync Server Administrative Session`nImported” $ImportResults.ExportedFunctions.count “CS Functions”
   }
cd $env:UserProfile
******************************************************************************************************

Save this as a .PS1 file. In my example below I saved it as c:\Utilities\StartCSRemotePowershell.ps1

Substitute the AdminUsername to that of your admin account that has the correct RBAC

Now for the shortcut. Create a shortcut to the PS.1 file and edit the target of the shortcut to something similar to the following:

******************************************************************************************************

powershell.exe -noexit -executionpolicy bypass -file c:\Utilities\StartCSRemotePowershell.ps1 -AuthenticationPrompt –CSPoolFQDN  -AdminUsername

******************************************************************************************************

Data Collection for As Built dumped to CSV

This is really a data collection exercise I use to collect the Lync config and ship off site to include into the AsBuilt documentation.
