Returns information about how (or if) the Enhanced 9-1-1 (E9-1-1) Location Information service has been configured. The E9-1-1 service enables those who answer emergency calls to determine the caller’s geographic location. This cmdlet was introduced in Lync Server 2010.

Syntax

Get-CsLocationPolicy [-Identity <XdsIdentity>] <COMMON PARAMETERS>
Get-CsLocationPolicy [-Filter <String>] <COMMON PARAMETERS>
COMMON PARAMETERS: [-LocalStore <SwitchParameter>] [-Tenant <Guid>]

Examples

EXAMPLE 1

Example 1 returns a collection of all the location policies currently in use in your organization. This is done simply by calling the Get-CsLocationPolicy cmdlet without any parameters.

Copy Code 
Get-CsLocationPolicy

EXAMPLE 2

The command shown in Example 2 returns only those location policies that have an Identity equal to Reno. Because identities must be unique, this command will only return, at most, one location policy.

Copy Code 
Get-CsLocationPolicy -Identity Reno

EXAMPLE 3

Example 3 uses the Filter parameter to return all the location policies that have been configured at the per-use scope. (Policies configured at the per-user scope can be directly assigned to users and network sites.) The wildcard string tag:* tells the Get-CsLocationPolicy cmdlet that the returned data should be limited to those location policies that have an Identity that begins with the string value tag:. Even though you don’t need to specify the tag: prefix when retrieving an individual policy, you can use that prefix to filter on all per-user policies.

Copy Code 
Get-CsLocationPolicy -Filter tag:*

EXAMPLE 4

Example 4 returns a collection of all the location policies where enhanced emergency services are disabled. To do this, the command first uses the Get-CsLocationPolicy cmdlet to return a collection of all the location policies currently in use in the organization. That collection is then piped to the Where-Object cmdlet; in turn, the Where-Object cmdlet applies a filter that limits the returned data to those policies where the EnhancedEmergencyServicesEnabled property is equal to (-eq) False ($False).

Copy Code 
Get-CsLocationPolicy | Where-Object {$_.EnhancedEmergencyServicesEnabled -eq $False}

Detailed Description

The location policy is used to apply settings that relate to E9-1-1 functionality. The location policy determines whether a user is enabled for E9-1-1, and if so what the behavior is of an emergency call. For example, you can use the location policy to define what number constitutes an emergency call (911 in the United States), whether corporate security should be automatically notified, how the call should be routed, and so on. This cmdlet retrieves one or more location policies.

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

Parameters

Parameter Required Type Description

Filter

Optional

System.String

A string containing wildcard characters that will retrieve location policies based on matching the Identity value of the policy to the wildcard string.

Identity

Optional

Microsoft.Rtc.Management.Xds.XdsIdentity

The unique identifier of the location policy you want to retrieve. To retrieve the global location policy, use a value of Global. For a policy created at the site scope, this value will be in the form site:<site name>, where site name is the name of a site defined in the Lync Server deployment (for example, site:Redmond). For a policy created at the per-user scope, this value will simply be the name of the policy, such as Reno.

LocalStore

Optional

System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter

Retrieves the location policy information from the local replica of the Central Management store, rather than the Central Management store itself.

Tenant

Optional

System.Guid

Globally unique identifier (GUID) of the Office 365 tenant account for the location policies to be returned. For example:

–Tenant "38aad667-af54-4397-aaa7-e94c79ec2308"

You can return the tenant ID for each of your tenants by running this command:

Get-CsTenant | Select-Object DisplayName, TenantID

If you are using a remote session of Windows PowerShell and are connected only to Lync Online you do not have to include the Tenant parameter. Instead, the tenant ID will automatically be filled in for you based on your connection information. The Tenant parameter is primarily for use in a hybrid deployment.

Input Types

None.

Return Types

The Get-CsLocationPolicy cmdlet returns instances of the Microsoft.Rtc.Management.WritableConfig.Policy.Location.LocationPolicy object.
