Verifies that a user can log on to Lync Server using a Lync Phone Edition-compatible device. This cmdlet was introduced in Lync Server 2010.

Syntax

Test-CsPhoneBootstrap -PhoneOrExtension <String> -PIN <String> [-Force <SwitchParameter>] [-OutLoggerVariable <String>] [-OutVerboseVariable <String>] [-RegistrarPort <Int32>] [-TargetFqdn <String>] [-TargetUri <String>] [-UserSipAddress <String>]

Examples

EXAMPLE 1

The command shown in Example 1 verifies that the user with the specified phone number and PIN can connect to Lync Server using a Lync Phone Edition-compatible device. In order to run the test, the user’s phone number (+14255551219) and the user’s PIN (0712) must be supplied.

Copy Code
Test-CsPhoneBootstrap -PhoneOrExt "+14255551219" -Pin "0712"

EXAMPLE 2

Example 2 verifies whether or not the user with the specified phone number and PIN can connect to Lync Server using a Lync Phone Edition-compatible device. In this example, the UserSipAddress parameter is included as an additional check: the test will fail if the user with the SIP address is not the same as the user with the specified phone number and PIN.

Copy Code
Test-CsPhoneBootstrap -PhoneOrExt "+14255551219" -Pin "0712" -UserSipAddress "sip:kenmyer@litwareinc.com"

Detailed Description

In order to connect to Lync Server, Lync Phone Edition-compatible devices need to use Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) to retrieve the address of a Lync Server Registrar; these devices must also provide a valid phone number and associated personal identification number (PIN) in order to be authenticated by the system. (This process is known as "bootstrapping".) The Test-CsPhoneBootstrap cmdlet enables administrators to verify that a given user -- using the phone number and PIN assigned to him or her -- is able to log on to the system from a Lync Phone Edition-compatible device. (No device is actually needed in order to run the test.)

In order for thhhe Test-CsPhoneBootstrap cmdlet to make its check, the Registrar pool that hosts the user account being tested must be discoverable using DHCP. To determine whether a Registrar is discoverable in this manner, use the Get-CsRegistrarConfiguration cmdlet and check the value of the EnableDHCPServer property. If this property is set to False, you will need to use the Set-CsRegistrarConfiguration cmdlet to set the property value to True and make the Registrar discoverable using DHCP. This can also be done by using Enterprise DHCP Server and configuring the Lync Server-specific options.

Who can run this cmdlet: 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 "Test-CsPhoneBootstrap"}

Parameters

Parameter Required Type Description

PhoneOrExtension

Required

System.String

Telephone number or extension of the user account being tested. For example: -PhoneOrExt "+14255551219".

PIN

Required

System.String

PIN of the user account being tested.

Force

Optional

System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter

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

OutLoggerVariable

Optional

System.String

When present, detailed output from running the cmdlet will be stored in the specified variable. This variable includes a pair of methods – ToHTML and ToXML – that can then be used to save that output to either an HTML or an XML file.

To store output in a logger variable named $TestOutput use the following syntax:

-OutLoggerVariable TestOutput

Note: Do not use prepend a $ character when specifying the variable name.To save the information stored in the logger variable to an HTML file, use a command similar to this:

$TestOutput.ToHTML() > C:\Logs\TestOutput.html

To save the information stored in the logger variable to an XML file, use a command similar to this:

$TestOutput.ToXML() > C:\Logs\TestOutput.xml

OutVerboseVariable

Optional

System.String

When present, detailed output from running the cmdlet will be stored in the specified variable. For example, to store output in a variable named $TestOutput use the following syntax:

-OutVerboseVariable TestOutput

Do not prepend a $ character when specifying the variable name.

RegistrarPort

Optional

System.Int32

SIP port used by the Registrar service. This parameter is not required if the Registrar uses the default port 5061.

TargetFqdn

Optional

System.String

Fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the Registrar pool that hosts the user account to be tested. If not specified, then DHCP discovery will be used to locate the Registrar pool.

TargetUri

Optional

System.String

URL of the certificate provisioning service. If this parameter is not included, then the DHCP discovery will be used to locate the target URI.

UserSipAddress

Optional

System.String

SIP address for the user account used in the text; for example: -UserSipAddress "sip:kenmyer@litwareinc.com". The UserSipAddress parameter must reference the supplied phone number and PIN; the test will fail if the included phone number and PIN do not belong to the user specified by the UserSipAddress parameter. Note that the SIP address must include the "sip:" prefix.

Input Types

None. The Test-CsPhoneBootstrap cmdlet does not accept pipelined input.

Return Types

The Test-CsPhoneBootstrap cmdlet returns an instance of the Microsoft.Rtc.SyntheticTransactions.TaskOutput object.
