Parameters

Many Microsoft Lync Server 2010 components are web-based: these components either use web services or webpages to carry out their tasks. For example, users employ a web service when searching for new contacts in the Address Book or when using group expansion to view the individual members of a distribution group. Likewise, components ranging from dial-in conferencing to Microsoft Lync Server 2010 Control Panel use webpages as the interface between Lync Server 2010 and users.

The CsWebServiceConfiguration cmdlets enable administrators to manage Web Services configuration settings throughout the organization. This includes managing group expansion, certificate settings, and allowed authentication methods. Because you can configure different settings at the global, site, and service scope (for the Web Services service only), you can customize Web Services capabilities for different users and different locations.

If you create custom Web Services configuration settings at the site or service scope these settings can later be removed by using the Remove-CsWebServiceConfiguration cmdlet. Note that you can also run Remove-CsWebServiceConfiguration against the global collection of Web Services settings. In that case, however, the global collection will not be removed; that’s because Lync Server does not allow you to remove global settings. Instead, all the properties in the global collection will revert to their default values. For example, suppose you have changed the MaxGroupSizeToExpand value to 500. Because the default value for this property is 100, "removing" the global collection will reset the value of the MaxGroupSizeToExpand property to 100.

Who can run this cmdlet: By default, members of the following groups are authorized to run the Remove-CsWebServiceConfiguration cmdlet locally: RTCUniversalServerAdmins. To return a list of all the role-based access control (RBAC) roles this cmdlet has been assigned to (including any custom RBAC roles you have created yourself), run the following command from the Windows PowerShell prompt:

Get-CsAdminRole | Where-Object {$_.Cmdlets –match "Remove-CsWebServiceConfiguration"}

Microsoft.Rtc.Management.WritableConfig.Settings.Web.WebServiceSettings object. Remove-CsWebServiceConfiguration accepts pipelined input of the Web Services settings object,

None. Instead, Remove-CsWebServiceConfiguration deletes existing instances of the Microsoft.Rtc.Management.WritableConfig.Settings.Web.WebServiceSettings object.

-------------------------- Example 1 ------------------------

	Copy Code
Remove-CsWebServiceConfiguration -Identity site:Redmond

The preceding command removes the Web Services configuration settings for the Redmond site.

-------------------------- Example 2 ------------------------

	Copy Code
Get-CsWebServiceConfiguration -Filter "site:*" | Remove-CsWebServiceConfiguration

In Example 2, all the Web Services settings configured at the site scope are removed. To carry out this task, the command first calls Get-CsWebServiceConfiguration and the Filter parameter; the filter value "site:*" ensures that only those settings that have an Identity that begins with the characters "site:" are returned. This filtered collection is then piped to Remove-CsWebServiceConfiguration, which deletes each item in the collection.

-------------------------- Example 3 ------------------------

	Copy Code
Get-CsWebServiceConfiguration | Where-Object {$_.EnableGroupExpansion -eq $False} | Remove-CsWebServiceConfiguration

The command shown in Example 3 deletes all the Web Services configuration settings where group expansion has been disabled. To do this, the command first calls Get-CsWebServiceConfiguration without any parameters in order to return a collection of all the Web Services configuration settings used in the organization. This collection is then piped to the Where-Object cmdlet, which selects only those settings where the EnableGroupExpansion property is equal to False. The filtered collection is then piped to Remove-CsWebServiceConfiguration, which deletes each item in the collection.
