Lync Server uses a Location Policy to enable Lync 2010 clients for E9-1-1 during client registration. A Location Policy contains the settings that define how E9-1-1 will be implemented.

You can edit the global Location policy and create new tagged Location policies. A client obtains a global policy when not located within a subnet with an associated location policy, or when the client has not been directly assigned a location policy. Tagged policies are assigned to subnets or users.

To create a location policy you must use an account that is a member of the RTCUniversalServerAdmins group or is a member of the CsVoiceAdministrator administrative role or has equivalent user rights.

For a complete description of Location policies, see Location Policy Definition. Cmdlets in this procedure use a location policy defined using the following values:

Element Value

EnhancedEmergencyServicesEnabled

True

LocationRequired

Yes

UseLocationForE911Only

False

PstnUsage

EmergencyUsage

EmergencyDialString

911

EmergencyDialMask

112

NotificationUri

sip:security@litwareinc.com

ConferenceUri

sip:+14255550123@litwareinc.com

ConferenceMode

twoway

For details about working with location policies, see the Lync Server Management Shell documentation for the following cmdlets:

To create location policies

  1. Start the Lync Server Management Shell: Click Start, click All Programs, click Microsoft Lync Server 2010, and then click Lync Server Management Shell.

    Note:
    CsLocationPolicy will fail if the setting for PstnUsage is not already in the Global list of PstnUsages.
  2. Optionally, run the following cmdlet to edit the global Location Policy:

    Copy Code
    Set-CsLocationPolicy -Identity Global -EnhancedEmergencyServicesEnabled $true -LocationRequired "yes" -PstnUsage "emergencyUsage" -EmergencyDialString "911" -ConferenceMode "twoway" -ConferenceUri "sip:+14255550123@litwareinc.com" -EmergencyDialMask "112" NotificationUri "sip:security@litwareinc.com" -UseLocationForE911Only $true
    
  3. Run the following to create a tagged Location Policy.

    Copy Code
    New-CsLocationPolicy -Identity Tag:Redmond - EnhancedEmergencyServicesEnabled $true -LocationRequired "yes" -UseLocationForE911Only $false -PstnUsage "EmergencyUsage" -EmergencyDialString "911" -EmergencyDialMask "112" -NotificationUri "sip:security@litwareinc.com" -ConferenceUri "sip:+14255550123@litwareinc.com" -ConferenceMode "twoway"
    
  4. Run the following cmdlet to apply the tagged Location Policy created in step 3 to a user policy.

    Copy Code
    (Get-CsUser | where { $_.Name -match "UserName" }) | Grant-CsLocationPolicy -PolicyName Redmond
