[This is preliminary documentation and is subject to change. Blank topics are included as placeholders.]

Modifies the property values of an existing Microsoft Communications Server 2010 announcement. Announcements are played when users dial a valid but unassigned phone number. With announcements, users who dial one of these numbers can be given a message (such as "This number is temporarily out of service") or can be presented with a busy signal.

Syntax

Set-CsAnnouncement [-Identity <XdsIdentity>] [-AudioFilePrompt <String>] [-Confirm [<SwitchParameter>]] [-Force <SwitchParameter>] [-Language <String>] [-Name <String>] [-TargetUri <String>] [-TextToSpeechPrompt <String>] [-WhatIf [<SwitchParameter>]]
Set-CsAnnouncement [-AudioFilePrompt <String>] [-Confirm [<SwitchParameter>]] [-Force <SwitchParameter>] [-Instance <PSObject>] [-Language <String>] [-Name <String>] [-TargetUri <String>] [-TextToSpeechPrompt <String>] [-WhatIf [<SwitchParameter>]]

Parameters

Parameter Required Type Description

Identity

Optional

Xds Identity

A unique identifier for the Announcement. This value will always be in the format <serviceID>/<GUID>, where serviceID is the Identity of the Application Server running the Announcement Service and GUID is a globally unique identifier associated with these announcement settings. For example: ApplicationServer:redmond.litwareinc.com/bef5fa3b-3c97-4af0-abe7-611deee7616c.

Because GUIDs can be difficult to enter correctly at the command line, you’ll most likely retrieve announcements using the Get-CsAnnouncement cmdlet and pipe them to the Set-CsAnnouncement cmdlet for modification. (See Examples.)

Instance

Optional

Announcement

A reference to the Announcement object you want to change. This object must be of type Microsoft.Rtc.Management.WritableConfig.Settings.AnnouncementServiceSettings.Announcement, which can be retrieved by calling the Get-CsAnnouncement cmdlet.

Name

Optional

String

Enter a value for this parameter to change the name of the announcement. Names must be unique within a service.

AudioFilePrompt

Optional

String

The name of the audio file to be played for the announcement. Audio files are stored in the File Store. To save an audio file to the File Store, use the Import-CsAnnouncementFile cmdlet.

Valid file types: WAV and WMA

TextToSpeechPrompt

Optional

String

A text-to-speech (TTS) prompt. This is a string that will be converted to audio and played as the announcement.

If both AudioFilePrompt and TextToSpeechPromp are specified for a single announcement, you will receive a warning that the audio file will take precedence and the TTS prompt will be ignored.

Maximum length: 4096 characters.

Language

Optional

String

The language in which the TTS prompt will be played. If a value is entered for TextToSpeechPrompt this parameter is required.

Values are entered as a string representing the language and locale to be used. The following is a list of valid values, followed by the language and locale in parentheses (): ca-ES (Catalan, Catalan); da-DK (Danish, Denmark); de-DE (German, Germany); en-AU (English, Australia); en-CA (English, Canada); en-GB (English, United Kingdom); en-IN (English, India); en-US (English, United States); es-ES (Spanish, Spain); es-MX (Spanish, Mexico); fi-FI (Finnish, Finland); fr-CA (French, Canada); fr-FR (French, France); it-IT (Italian, Italy); ja-JP (Japanese, Japan); ko-KR (Korean, Korea); nb-NO (Norwegian, Bokmal, Norway); nl-NL (Dutch, Netherlands); pl-PL (Polish, Poland); pt-BR (Portuguese, Brazil); pt-PT (Portuguese, Portugal); ru-RU (Russian, Russia); sv-SE (Swedish, Sweden); zh-CN (Chinese, People’s Republic of China); zh-HK (Chinese, Hong Kong S.A.R.); zh-TW (Chinese, Taiwan)

TargetUri

Optional

String

The URI to which the caller will be transferred after the announcement has been played. This value must be a SIP address entered in the format sip: followed by the SIP address. For example, sip:kmyer@litwareinc.com.

Force

Optional

SwitchParameter

Suppresses any confirmation prompts that would otherwise be displayed before making changes.

WhatIf

Optional

Switch Parameter

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

Confirm

Optional

Switch Parameter

Prompts you for confirmation before executing the command.

Detailed Description

An enterprise can own phone numbers that are not assigned to users or phones, but which are still valid numbers that can be called. By default when someone dials one of those numbers he or she will receive a busy signal and the call may result in an error returned to the SIP client. By applying announcement settings to unassigned numbers, administrators have the option of playing a message, returning a busy signal, or redirecting the call. This cmdlet modifies these announcement settings.

Return Types

Set-CsAnnouncement does not return any objects or values. Instead, the cmdlet modifies existing instances of the Microsoft.Rtc.Management.WritableConfig.Settings.AnnouncementServiceSettings.Announcement object.

Examples

-------------------------- Example 1 ------------------------

Copy Code
Get-CsAnnouncement | Where-Object {$_.Name -eq "Help Desk Announcement"} | Set-CsAnnouncement -AudioFilePrompt "helpdesk.wav"

The command shown in Example 1 assigns a new audio file to the Help Desk announcement. To perform this task, the command first uses Get-CsAnnouncement, without any parameters, in order to return a collection of all the announcements currently available. This collection is then piped to the Where-Object cmdlet, which picks the one announcement where the Name is equal to (-eq) "Help Desk Announcement". In turn, that announcement is then piped to Set-CsAnnouncement, which sets the value of the AudioFilePrompt property to helpdesk.wav.

Note that if this announcement already has a TextToSpeechPrompt value assigned to you, this command will generate a warning that the PromptTts value will be ignored.

-------------------------- Example 2 ------------------------

Copy Code
Get-CsAnnouncement | Where-Object {$_.Name -eq "Help Desk Announcement"} | Set-CsAnnouncement -TextToSpeechPrompt $Null

In Example 2, the TextToSpeechPrompt property for the Help Desk Announcement announcement is set to a null value; this effectively erases the property value. To do this, the command first uses Get-CsAnnouncement to return a collection of all the announcements currently available. This collection is then piped to Where-Object, which selects the announcement where the Name is equal to (-eq) "Help Desk Announcement". This announcement is then piped to the Set-CsAnnouncement cmdlet, which sets the TextToSpeechPrompt property to a null value ($Null).
