Start the Lync Server Management Shell: Click Start, click All Programs, click Microsoft Lync Server 2013, and then click Lync Server Management Shell.

Export the response groups in the source pool. At the command line, type:

	Copy Code
Export-CsRgsConfiguration -Source "service:ApplicationServer:<source FQDN>" -FileName "<export file name>"

For example:

	Copy Code
Export-CsRgsConfiguration -Source "service:ApplicationServer:source.contoso.com" -FileName "C:\RgsExportSource.zip"

To remove the response groups from the source pool during the export, include the –RemoveExportedConfiguration parameter. For example:

	Copy Code
Export-CsRgsConfiguration -Source ApplicationServer:source.contoso.com -FileName "C:\RgsExportSource.zip" -RemoveExportedConfiguration

Import the response groups to the destination pool and assign the destination pool as the new owner. At the command line, type:

	Copy Code
Import-CsRgsConfiguration -Destination "service:ApplicationServer:<destination pool>" -FileName "<export file name>" -OverwriteOwner

If you also want to copy the Response Group application-level settings from the source pool to the destination pool, include the –ReplaceExistingSettings parameter. You can define only one set of application-level settings per pool. If you copy the application-level settings from the source pool to the destination pool, the settings from the source pool replace the settings for the destination pool. If you do not copy the application-level settings from the source pool, the existing settings from the destination pool apply to the imported response groups.

For example:

	Copy Code
Import-CsRgsConfiguration -Destination "service:ApplicationServer:destination.contoso.com" -FileName "C:\RgsExportSource.zip" -OverwriteOwner -ReplaceExistingSettings

Note:
Application-level settings include the default music-on-hold configuration, the default music-on-hold audio file, the agent ringback grace period, and the call context configuration. To view these configuration settings, run the Get-CsRgsConfiguration cmdlet. For details about this cmdlet, see Get-CsRgsConfiguration.

Verify that the import was successful by displaying the imported response group configuration by doing the following:

• Verify that all the workflows were imported. At the command line, type the following:

  	Copy Code
  Get-CsRgsWorkflow -Identity "service:ApplicationServer:<destination pool FQDN>"

• Verify that all the queues were imported. At the command line, type the following:

  	Copy Code
  Get-CsRgsQueue -Identity "service:ApplicationServer:<destination pool FQDN>"

• Verify that all the agent groups were imported. At the command line, type the following:

  	Copy Code
  Get-CsRgsAgentGroup -Identity "service:ApplicationServer:<destination pool FQDN>"

• Verify that all the hours of business were imported. At the command line, type the following:

  	Copy Code
  Get-CsRgsHoursOfBusiness -Identity "service:ApplicationServer:<destination pool FQDN>"

• Verify that all the holiday sets were imported. At the command line, type the following:

  	Copy Code
  Get-CsRgsHolidaySet -Identity "service:ApplicationServer:<destination pool FQDN>"

Verify that the import was successful by placing a call to one of the response groups and verifying that the call is handled correctly.

Request agents who are members of formal agent groups to sign in to their agent groups in the destination pool.

If you did not previously remove response groups from the source pool, remove the response groups from the source pool. At the command line, type:

	Copy Code
Export-CsRgsConfiguration -Source "service:ApplicationServer:<source pool FQDN> -RemoveExportedConfiguration -FileName "<temporary export file name>"

For example:

	Copy Code
Export-CsRgsConfiguration -Source "service:ApplicationServer:source.contoso.com" -RemoveExportedConfiguration -FileName "C:\TempRGsConfiguration.zip"
