Assigns a hosted voice mail policy at the per-user scope. (The per-user scope enables you to assign policies to individual users or groups.) This cmdlet was introduced in Lync Server 2010.

Syntax

Grant-CsHostedVoicemailPolicy -Identity <UserIdParameter> -PolicyName <String> [-Confirm [<SwitchParameter>]] [-DomainController <Fqdn>] [-PassThru <SwitchParameter>] [-WhatIf [<SwitchParameter>]]

Examples

EXAMPLE 1

This example assigns the hosted voice mail policy with the Identity ExRedmond to the user with the display name Ken Myer.

Copy Code
Grant-CsHostedVoicemailPolicy -Identity "Ken Myer" -PolicyName ExRedmond

EXAMPLE 2

This example assigns the hosted voice mail policy with the Identity ExRedmond to all users in the Finance organizational unit (OU): OU=Finance,OU=NorthAmerica,DC=litwareinc,DC=com. The first part of the command calls the Get-CsUser cmdlet to retrieve all users who are enabled for Lync Server or Office Communications Server from the specified OU. This collection of users is then piped to the Grant-CsHostedVoicemailPolicy cmdlet, which assigns the policy ExRedmond to each of these users.

Copy Code
Get-CsUser -OU "ou=Finance,ou=North America,dc=litwareinc,dc=com" | Grant-CsHostedVoicemailPolicy -PolicyName ExRedmond

Detailed Description

This cmdlet assigns an existing user-specific hosted voice mail policy to a user. A hosted voice mail policy specifies how to route unanswered calls to a user to a hosted Exchange Unified Messaging (UM) service.

You can check whether a user has been granted a per-user hosted voice mail policy by calling a command in this format: Get-CsUser "<user name>" | Select-Object HostedVoicemailPolicy. For example:

Get-CsUser "Ken Myer" | Select-Object HostedVoicemailPolicy

If you assign to a user a hosted voice mail policy that does not include a destination, you cannot enable that user for hosted voice mail.

Who can run this cmdlet: By default, members of the following groups are authorized to run the Grant-CsHostedVoicemailPolicy cmdlet locally: RTCUniversalUserAdmins. 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 "Grant-CsHostedVoicemailPolicy"}

Parameters

Parameter Required Type Description

Identity

Required

Microsoft.Rtc.Management.AD.UserIdParameter

The Identity (unique identifier) of the user to whom the hosted voice mail policy is being assigned.

User identities can be specified using one of four formats: 1) The user's SIP address; 2) the user’s user principal name (UPN); 3) the user's domain name and logon name, in the form domain\logon (for example, litwareinc\kenmyer); and, 4) the user's Active Directory display name (for example, Ken Myer).

Note that you can use the asterisk (*) wildcard character when using the Display Name as the user Identity. For example, the Identity "* Smith" would return all the users with the last name Smith.

Full data type: Microsoft.Rtc.Management.AD.UserIdParameter

PolicyName

Required

System.String

The name (Identity) of the hosted voice mail policy to be assigned to the user. (Note that this includes only the name portion of the Identity. Per-user hosted voice mail policy identities include a prefix of tag: that should not be included with the PolicyName.)

Confirm

Optional

System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter

Prompts you for confirmation before executing the command.

DomainController

Optional

Microsoft.Rtc.Management.Deploy.Fqdn

Allows you to specify a domain controller. If no domain controller is specified, the first available will be used.

PassThru

Optional

System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter

Returns the results of the command. By default, this cmdlet does not generate any output.

WhatIf

Optional

System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter

Describes what would happen if you executed the command without actually executing the command.

Input Types

String. Accepts a pipelined string value representing the Identity of a user account to which the hosted voice mail policy is being granted.

Return Types

When used with the PassThru parameter, returns an object of type Microsoft.Rtc.Management.ADConnect.Schema.OCSADUserOrAppContact.
