Device update rules can be imported only by using Windows PowerShell and the Import-CsDeviceUpdate cmdlet. This cmdlet can be run either from the Lync Server 2013 Management Shell or from a remote session of Windows PowerShell.

Note:
For details about using remote Windows PowerShell to connect to Lync Server, see the Lync Server Windows PowerShell blog article "Quick Start: Managing Microsoft Lync Server 2010 Using Remote PowerShell" at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?linkId=255876.

To import device update rules to a single web server

  • The following command imports device update rules to the Web server atl-cs-001.litwareinc.com:

    Copy Code 
    Import-CsDeviceUpdate -Identity "service:WebServer:atl-cs-001.litwareinc.com" -FileName C:\Updates\UCUpdates.cab

To import device update rules to all your web servers

  • In this example, device update rules are imported to all the Web servers deployed in your organization. For this command to work, the folder \\atl-fs-001.litwareinc.com\Updates must be shared and available to all the Web servers.

    Copy Code 
    Get-CsService -WebServer | ForEach-Object {Import-CsDeviceUpdate -Identity $_.Identity -FileName \\atl-fs-001.litwareinc.com\Updates\UCUpdates.cab}

For details, see the Help topic for the Import-CsDeviceUpdate cmdlet.
