Lync Server uses a location policy to enable Lync clients for E9-1-1 during client registration. A location policy contains the settings that define how E9-1-1 will be implemented.

You can edit the global location policy and create new tagged location policies. A client obtains a global policy when it is not located within a subnet with an associated location policy, or when the client has not been directly assigned a location policy. Tagged policies are assigned to subnets or users.

To create a location policy, you must use an account that is a member of the RTCUniversalServerAdmins group, or is a member of the CsVoiceAdministrator administrative role, or has equivalent administrator rights and permissions.

For a complete description of Location policies, see Defining the Location Policy. Cmdlets in this procedure use a location policy defined using the following values:

Element Value

EnhancedEmergencyServicesEnabled

True

LocationRequired

Disclaimer

EnhancedEmergencyServiceDisclaimer

Your company policy requires you to set a location. If you do not set a location, emergency services will not be able to locate you in an emergency. Please set a location.

For details about working with location policies, see the Lync Server Management Shell documentation for the following cmdlets:

To create location policies

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

    Note:
    CsLocationPolicy will fail if the setting for PstnUsage is not already in the Global list of PstnUsages.

  2. Optionally, run the following cmdlet to edit the global Location Policy:

    Copy Code 
    Set-CsLocationPolicy -Identity Global -EnhancedEmergencyServicesEnabled $true -LocationRequired "disclaimer" -EnhancedEmergencyServiceDisclaimer "Your company policy requires you to set a location. If you do not set a location emergency services will not be able to locate you in an emergency. Please set a location." -PstnUsage "emergencyUsage" -EmergencyDialString "911" -ConferenceMode "twoway" -ConferenceUri "sip:+14255550123@litwareinc.com" -EmergencyDialMask "112" NotificationUri "sip:security@litwareinc.com" -UseLocationForE911Only $true -LocationRefreshInterval 2

  3. Run the following to create a tagged Location Policy.

    Copy Code 
    New-CsLocationPolicy -Identity Tag:Redmond - EnhancedEmergencyServicesEnabled $true -LocationRequired "disclaimer" -EnhancedEmergencyServiceDisclaimer "Your company policy requires you to set a location. If you do not set a location emergency services will not be able to locate you in an emergency. Please set a location." -UseLocationForE911Only $false -PstnUsage "EmergencyUsage" -EmergencyDialString "911" -EmergencyDialMask "112" -NotificationUri "sip:security@litwareinc.com" -ConferenceUri "sip:+14255550123@litwareinc.com" -ConferenceMode "twoway" -LocationRefreshInterval 2

  4. Run the following cmdlet to apply the tagged Location Policy created in step 3 to a user policy.

    Copy Code 
    (Get-CsUser | where { $_.Name -match "UserName" }) | Grant-CsLocationPolicy -PolicyName Redmond
