Modifies an existing mobility policy. Mobility policies determine whether or not a user can use Lync Mobile. These policies also manage a user's ability to employ Call via Work, a feature that enables users to make and receive phone calls on their mobile phone by using their work phone number instead of their mobile phone number. Mobility policies can also be used to require Wi-Fi connections when making or receiving calls. This cmdlet was introduced in the cumulative update for Lync Server 2010: November 2011.

Syntax

Set-CsMobilityPolicy [-Identity <XdsIdentity>] <COMMON PARAMETERS>
Set-CsMobilityPolicy [-Instance <PSObject>] <COMMON PARAMETERS>
COMMON PARAMETERS: [-AllowCustomerExperienceImprovementProgram <$true | $false>] [-AllowExchangeConnectivity <$true | $false>] [-AllowSaveCallLogs <$true | $false>] [-AllowSaveCredentials <$true | $false>] [-AllowSaveIMHistory <$true | $false>] [-Confirm [<SwitchParameter>]] [-Description <String>] [-EnableIPAudioVideo <$true | $false>] [-EnableMobility <$true | $false>] [-EnableOutsideVoice <$true | $false>] [-Force <SwitchParameter>] [-RequireWIFIForIPAudio <$true | $false>] [-RequireWIFIForIPVideo <$true | $false>] [-RequireWiFiForSharing <$true | $false>] [-Tenant <Guid>] [-WhatIf [<SwitchParameter>]]

Examples

EXAMPLE 1

In Example 1, Call via Work is disabled in the mobility policy assigned to the Redmond site. This is done by setting the EnableOutsideVoice property to False.

Copy Code
Set-CsMobilityPolicy -Identity "site:Redmond" -EnableOutsideVoice $False

EXAMPLE 2

The command shown in Example 2 disables Call via Work for all the mobility policies configured at the per-user scope. To carry out this task, the command first calls the Get-CsMobilityPolicy cmdlet along with the Filter parameter; the filter value "tag:*" limits the returned data to policies that have an Identity that begins with the string value "tag:". That filtered collection of policies is then piped to the Set-CsMobilityPolicy cmdlet, which takes each policy in the collection and sets the EnableOutsideVoice property to False.

Copy Code
Get-CsMobilityPolicy -Filter "tag:*" | Set-CsMobilityPolicy -EnableOutsideVoice $False

EXAMPLE 3

In Example 3, a new description is added to any mobility policy property that does not currently have a description. To do this, the first uses the Get-CsMobilityPolicy cmdlet to return a collection of all the mobility policies currently in use in the organization. This collection is then piped to the Where-Object cmdlet, which selects only those policies where the Description property is equal to (-eq) a null value. That filtered collection is then piped to the Set-CsMobilityPolicy cmdlet, which sets the Description property for each policy to the string value "Policy owner: kenmyer@litwareinc.com".

Copy Code
Get-CsMobilityPolicy | Where-Object {$_.Description -eq $Null} | Set-CsMobilityPolicy -Description "Policy owner: kenmyer@litwareinc.com"

Detailed Description

Lync Mobile is a client application that enables users to run Lync on their mobile phones. Call via Work provides a way for users to make calls on their mobile phone and yet have it appear as though the call originated from their work phone number instead of their mobile phone number. Users who have been enabled for Call via Work can achieve this either by dialing directly from their mobile phone or by using the dial-out conferencing option. With dial-out conferencing, a user effectively asks the Lync Server Mobility Service server to make a call for them. The server will set up the call, and then call the user back on their mobile phone. After the user has answered, the server will then dial the party being called. Both of these capabilities can be managed by using mobility policies.

With Lync Server 2013 mobile devices can make or receive phone calls by using either the standard cellular phone network. or by using Wi-Fi connections. Mobility policies can be used to require Wi-Fi connections and to prevent calls over the cellular network.

These policies can be modified at any time by using the Set-CsMobilityPolicy cmdlet.

Note that two different properties must be configured in order to enable Call via Work. The first property, EnableOutsideVoice, determines whether or not Call via Work is enabled; the second, EnableMobility, determines whether or not users are allowed to use Lync Mobile. Both of these properties must be set to true before a user can take advantage of Call via Work. If EnableMobility is set to True and EnableOutsideVoice is set to False, the user can run Lync Mobile but will not be able to use Call via Work. If EnableMobility is set to False and EnableOutsideVoice is set to True the user will not be able to run Lync Mobile. In turn, that means that the user will not be able to use Call via Work, regardless of the value of the EnableOutsideVoice property.

To use Call via Work, users must be managed by a voice policy that allows simultaneous ringing.

Who can run this cmdlet: By default, members of the following groups are authorized to run the Set-CsMobilityPolicy cmdlet locally: RTCUniversalServerAdmins.

Parameters

Parameter Required Type Description

AllowCustomerExperienceImprovementProgram

Optional

System.Boolean

When set to True (the default value) mobile users will be allowed to participate in the Microsoft Customer Experience Improvement Program.

AllowExchangeConnectivity

Optional

System.Boolean

When set to True (the default value) users will be allowed to connect to Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 by using their mobile device.

AllowSaveCallLogs

Optional

System.Boolean

When set to True (the default value) users will be allowed to save a call log of calls made from or received by their mobile device.

AllowSaveCredentials

Optional

System.Boolean

When set to True (the default value) users will be allowed to save credentials information (such as passwords) on their mobile device. This information can then be applied to auto-logon scenarios.

AllowSaveIMHistory

Optional

System.Boolean

When set to True (the default value) users will be allowed to save transcripts of IM and conferencing sessions on their mobile devices.

Confirm

Optional

System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter

Prompts you for confirmation before executing the command.

Description

Optional

System.String

Enables administrators to provide additional text to accompany a mobility policy. For example, the Description might include information about the users the policy should be assigned to.

EnableIPAudioVideo

Optional

System.Boolean

When set to False, prohibits the user from making voice over IP (VoIP) calls using the mobile device. The default value is True, meaning that VoIP calls are allowed.

This parameter was introduced in Lync Server 2013.

EnableMobility

Optional

System.Boolean

When set to True, users are allowed to use Lync Mobile.

EnableOutsideVoice

Optional

System.Boolean

When set to True, enables users to take advantage of Call via Work. When set to False, users cannot use Call via Work.

The default value is True.

Force

Optional

System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter

Suppresses the display of any non-fatal error message that might occur when running the command.

Identity

Optional

Microsoft.Rtc.Management.Xds.XdsIdentity

Globally unique identifier (GUID) of the Office 365 tenant account that owns the mobility being modified. 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.

Instance

Optional

Mobility object

Allows you to pass a reference to an object to the cmdlet rather than set individual parameter values.

RequireWIFIForIPAudio

Optional

System.Boolean

When set to True, the user can use IP audio in calls made when his or her mobile device is connected to a WiFi network. That means that the user will only be allowed to make audio calls using Wi-Fi, and will not be able to use the standard cellular phone network. The default value is False.

This parameter was introduced in Lync Server 2013.

RequireWIFIForIPVideo

Optional

System.Boolean

When set to True, the user can use IP video only in calls made when mobile device is connected to a Wi-Fi network. If mobile device goes outside of Wi-Fi range, then video calls will be received as audio calls only. If this property is set to False (the default value) then the user can make or receive IP video calls in using either a Wi-Fi or a cellular data connection.

This parameter was introduced in Lync Server 2013.

RequireWiFiForSharing

Optional

System.Boolean

When set to True, mobile users must use a WiFi connection in order to participate in an application sharing session. When set to False (the default value) mobile users can participate in application sharing by using either a WiFi connection or a cellular (3G/4G) connection.

If this value is set to True, then users then users will not be able to change their sharing configuration settings. If this value is set to False users can use the Options page to modify their sharing configuration settings.

–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.

WhatIf

Optional

System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter

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

Input Types

Microsoft.Rtc.Management.WriteableConfig.Policy.Mobility.Mobility. The Set-CsMobilityPolicy cmdlet accepts pipelined instances of the Mobility object.

Return Types

None. Instead, the Set-CsMobilityPolicy cmdlet modifies existing instances of the Microsoft.Rtc.Management.WriteableConfig.Policy.Mobility.Mobility object.
