When reviewing the help topics for the Lync Online cmdlets, you'll sometimes see the terms parameter and property used interchangeably. Don’t be confused by this terminology: although the two are technically different, in Lync Online, the terms essentially refer to the same thing.
Technically speaking, parameters are used when you run a cmdlet. For example, in the following Windows PowerShell command, EnableMicrosoftPushNotificationService and EnableApplePushNotificationService are parameters of the Set-CsPushNotificationConfiguration cmdlet:
 Copy Code |
|
|---|---|
Set-CsPushNotificationConfiguration -EnableMicrosoftPushNotificationService -EnableApplePushNotificationService $True |
|
A property is an attribute of a Lync Online object (for example, a collection of push notification configuration settings). Let’s say that you run this command:
| Copy Code |
|
|---|---|
Set-CsPushNotificationConfiguration |
|
When you do this, you’ll get back a collection of properties and their associated values, which will include the following items:
| Copy Code |
|
|---|---|
EnableMicrosoftPushNotificationService : True EnableApplePushNotificationService : True |
|
As you can see, properties and parameters share the same name: you use the EnableMicrosoftPushNotificationService parameter to configure the value of the EnableMicrosoftPushNotificationService property.
