Moves an existing conference directory from one pool to another. Conference directories are used to help dial-in conferencing users locate conference information.

Syntax


`Move-CsConferenceDirectory -Identity <XdsGlobalRelativeIdentity> -TargetPool <String> [-Confirm [<SwitchParameter>]] [-Force <SwitchParameter>] [-WhatIf [<SwitchParameter>]]`

Parameters

Parameter	Required	Type	Description
Identity	Required	Integer	Numeric identity of the conference directory to be moved.
TargetPool	Required	String	Fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the pool where the conference directory is to be moved. For example: -Identity atl-cs-002.litwareinc.com.
Force	Optional	Switch Parameter	When present, moves the conference directory even if the target pool is currently unavailable. By default, Move-CsConferenceDirectory will not move directories if the target pool cannot be contacted. Before running Move-CsConferenceDirectory with the Force parameter you should use Dbimpexp.exe to manually export the legacy data and then import this data to the target Registrar pool. Dbimpexp.exe can be found in the root folder of the Lync Server installation media.
WhatIf	Optional	Switch Parameter	Describes what would happen if you executed the command without actually executing the command.
Confirm	Optional	Switch Parameter	Prompts you for confirmation before executing the command.

Detailed Description

When you create a dial-in conferencing Uniform Resource Identifier (URI), those URIs are assigned unique SIP addresses. However, SIP addresses are difficult to translate to devices that are not SIP-aware; for example, a public switched telephone network (PSTN) telephone can’t translate a SIP address. Because of that, Microsoft Lync Server 2010 uses conference directories as a way to help these devices locate, and connect to, dial-in conferences. This is done by creating a SIP conference directory that is associated with each dial-in conferencing URI, and is identified by an integer value rather than a SIP URI. PSTN telephones and other devices can then use these numbers instead of a SIP URI when connecting to conferences; the directory number is included in the PSTN conference identification users enter when connecting to a dial-in conference.

Occasionally, you might need to move a conference directory from one pool to another; for example, if you decommission a pool you might need to move your existing conference directories to a new location. The Move-CsConferenceDirectory cmdlet enables you to move conference directories to a different pool.

Who can run this cmdlet: By default, members of the following groups are authorized to run the Move-CsConferenceDirectory 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 "Move-CsConferenceDirectory"}

Input Types

None. Move-CsConferenceDirectory does not accept pipelined input.

Return Types

None.

Example

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

	Copy Code
Move-CsConferenceDirectory -Identity 3 -TargetPool atl-cs-002.litwareinc.com

The command shown in Example 1 moves the conference directory with the Identity 3 to the pool atl-cs-002.litwareinc.com.

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

	Copy Code
Move-CsConferenceDirectory -Identity 3 -TargetPool atl-cs-002.litwareinc.com -Force

The command shown in Example 2 is a variation of the command shown in Example 1. In this case, however, the Force parameter is included to ensure that the move takes place even if the target pool is currently unavailable.

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

	Copy Code
Get-CsConferenceDirectory \| Move-CsConferenceDirectory -TargetPool atl-cs-002.litwareinc.com

The preceding command moves all the existing conference directories to the target pool atl-cs-002.litwareinc.com. To carry out this task the command first uses Get-CsConferenceDirectory to return a collection of all the conference directories currently in use in the organization. This collection is then piped to the Move-CsConferenceDirectory cmdlet, which moves each directory in the collection to the target pool.
