Enabling users for Lync with Telephony options

One of my Team member had a requirement to enable multiple uses for LYNC Pool and also disable the telephony options. The utlimate goal was to acheieve this in a single command.

Thanks a Lot Vinayaka for involving me in this task.

After a lot of brianstorming we were able to achieve the same :)

First we need to make sure that the module for Lync is available in the powerhsell. If not please run the following command :

import-module 'C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Lync Server 2010\Modules\Lync\Lync.psd1'

Let's take an Example of Users in an Orgnatizational Unit (OU) called Lync Users

$a=get-csaduser -filter {Enabled -ne $True} -OU "OU=Lync Users,DC=Contoso,DC=com"

foreach ($b in $a) {Enable-CsUser $b.UserPrincipalName -RegistrarPool Lync-FE-PoolA.Contoso.com -SipAddressType EmailAddress}

sleep 180;

foreach ($c in $a) {Set-CsUser $c.UserPrincipalName -AudioVideoDisabled $true }

If you want to enable Lync for all users in the active Directory do not mention the OU paramenter in variable $a.

We may have to change the Sleep value depending on the Active Directory Replication interval in your environment.

Let's take another Example where we have users in a CSV format

CSV file Format

Name,UserprincipalName

User1,user1@contosot.com

User2,user2@contoso.com

$a=Import-Csv .\users.csv

foreach ($b in $a) {Enable-CsUser $b.UserPrincipalName -RegistrarPool Lync-FE-PoolA.Contoso.com -SipAddressType UserPrincipalName}

sleep 180;

foreach ($c in $a) {Set-CsUser $c.UserPrincipalName -AudioVideoDisabled $true }

 We may have to change the Sleep value depending on the Active Directory Replication interval in your environment.
