Syntax


`Revoke-CsOUPermission -ObjectType <User \| Computer \| InetOrgPerson \| Contact \| AppContact \| Device> -OU <String> [-Confirm [<SwitchParameter>]] [-Domain <Fqdn>] [-DomainController <Fqdn>] [-Force <SwitchParameter>] [-GlobalCatalog <Fqdn>] [-Report <String>] [-WhatIf [<SwitchParameter>]]`

Parameters

Parameter	Required	Type	Description
ObjectType	Required	String	Type of object covered by these permissions. Valid values are: User Computer Contact AppContact InetOrgPerson To revoke permissions to multiple object types in the same command, separate the object types by using commas: -ObjectType "user","computer","contact".
OU	Required	Active Directory distinguished name	Distinguished name of the OU where permissions are to be removed. For example: -OU "ou=Redmond,dc=litwareinc,dc=com".You can only remove permissions from a single OU per command.
Domain	Optional	String	Name of the domain where the OU is located. If this parameter is not included Revoke-CsOUPermission will look for the OU in the current domain.
DomainController	Optional	String	Enables administrators to specify the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the domain controller to be used when running Revoke-CsOUPermission. If not specified, the cmdlet will use the first available domain controller.
GlobalCatalog	Optional	String	Fully qualified domain name of a global catalog server in your domain. This parameter is not required if you are running Revoke-CsOUPermission on a computer with an account in your domain.
Force	Optional	SwitchParameter	Suppresses the display of any non-fatal error message that might occur when running the command.
Report	Optional	String	Enables you to specify a file path for the log file created when the cmdlet runs. For example: -Report "C:\Logs\OUPermissions.html"
WhatIf		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

If you have locked down your Active Directory domain (that is, if you have disabled permission inheritance) then the domain preparation that takes place when you install Lync Server 2010 will not be able to add the permissions needed to manage users, computers, contacts, application contacts, and InetOrg persons. (Enterprise administrators and domain administrators will still be able to manage these objects, but no one else, including members of the RTCUniversalServerAdmins group, will have management permissions.) In that case, you will need to use the Grant-CsOUPermission cmdlet to grant the required security groups the required permissions. This must be done on a container-by-container basis for each Active Directory container that includes Lync Server 2010 user accounts..

Permissions granted by using Grant-CsOUPermission can later be removed by using Revoke-CsOUPermission. If you run Revoke-CsOUPermission against an OU you will then need to be an enterprise administrator or a domain administrator in order to manage Lync Server users in that OU.

Who can run this cmdlet: You must be a domain administrator in order to run the Revoke-CsOUPermission cmdlet locally. 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 "Revoke-CsOUPermission"}

Input Types

None. Revoke-CsOUPermission does not accept pipelined input.

Return Types

Revoke-CsOUPermission does not return any objects or values.

Example

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

	Copy Code
Revoke-CsOUPermission -OU "ou=Redmond,dc=litwareinc,dc=com" -ObjectType "user"

The command shown in Example 1 revokes user management permissions (-ObjectType "user") for the Redmond OU in the domain litwareinc.com.

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

	Copy Code
Revoke-CsOUPermission -OU "ou=Redmond,dc=litwareinc,dc=com" -ObjectType "user","contact","inetOrgPerson"

In Example 2, three different management permissions (user, contact, and inetOrgPerson objects) are removed from the Redmond OU in the domain litwareinc.com.
