Assigns a hosted voice mail policy at the per-user scope. (The per-user scope enables you to assign policies to individual users or groups.)

Syntax


`Grant-CsHostedVoicemailPolicy -Identity <UserIdParameter> [-PolicyName <String>] [-Confirm [<SwitchParameter>]] [-DomainController <Fqdn>] [-PassThru <SwitchParameter>] [-WhatIf [<SwitchParameter>]]`

Parameters

Parameter	Required	Type	Description
Identity	Required	UserIdParameter	The Identity (unique identifier) of the user to whom the hosted voice mail policy is being assigned. User identities can be specified using one of four formats: 1) The user's SIP address; 2) the user’s user principal name (UPN); 3) the user's domain name and logon name, in the form domain\logon (for example, litwareinc\kenmyer); and, 4) the user's Active Directory display name (for example, Ken Myer). Note that you can use the asterisk () wildcard character when using the Display Name as the user Identity. For example, the Identity " Smith" would return all the users with the last name Smith. Full data type: Microsoft.Rtc.Management.AD.UserIdParameter
PolicyName	Optional	String	The name (Identity) of the hosted voice mail policy to be assigned to the user. (Note that this includes only the name portion of the Identity. Per-user hosted voice mail policy identities include a prefix of tag: that should not be included with the PolicyName.)
DomainController	Optional	Fqdn	Allows you to specify a domain controller. If no domain controller is specified, the first available will be used.
PassThru	Optional	SwitchParameter	Returns the results of the command. By default, this cmdlet does not generate any output.
WhatIf	Optional	SwitchParameter	Describes what would happen if you executed the command without actually executing the command.
Confirm	Optional	SwitchParameter	Prompts you for confirmation before executing the command.

Detailed Description

This cmdlet assigns an existing user-specific hosted voice mail policy to a user. A hosted voice mail policy specifies how to route unanswered calls to a user to a hosted Exchange Unified Messaging (UM) service.

You can check whether a user has been granted a per-user hosted voice mail policy by calling a command in this format: Get-CsUser "<user name>" | Select-Object HostedVoicemailPolicy. For example:

Get-CsUser "Ken Myer" | Select-Object HostedVoicemailPolicy

If you assign to a user a hosted voice mail policy that does not include a destination, you cannot enable that user for hosted voice mail.

Who can run this cmdlet: By default, members of the following groups are authorized to run the Grant-CsHostedVoicemailPolicy cmdlet locally: RTCUniversalUserAdmins. 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 "Grant-CsHostedVoicemailPolicy"}

Input Types

String. Accepts a pipelined string value representing the Identity of a user account to which the hosted voice mail policy is being granted.

Return Types

When used with the PassThru parameter, returns an object of type Microsoft.Rtc.Management.ADConnect.Schema.OCSADUserOrAppContact.

Example

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

	Copy Code
Grant-CsHostedVoicemailPolicy -Identity "Ken Myer" -PolicyName ExRedmond

This example assigns the hosted voice mail policy with the Identity ExRedmond to the user with the display name Ken Myer.

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

	Copy Code
Get-CsUser -OU "ou=Finance,ou=North America,dc=litwareinc,dc=com" \| Grant-CsHostedVoicemailPolicy -PolicyName ExRedmond

This example assigns the hosted voice mail policy with the Identity ExRedmond to all users in the Finance organizational unit (OU): OU=Finance,OU=NorthAmerica,DC=litwareinc,DC=com. The first part of the command calls the Get-CsUser cmdlet to retrieve all users who are enabled for Lync Server 2010 or Office Communications Server from the specified OU. This collection of users is then piped to the Grant-CsHostedVoicemailPolicy cmdlet, which assigns the policy ExRedmond to each of these users.
