Set-CsBusyOptions

Module:
SkypeForBusiness

Sets up the processing of incoming calls for users who are already engaged in another communication stream. This cmdlet was introduced in Skype for Business Server 2015 June 2016 Cumulative Update.

Syntax

Set-CsBusyOptions
   [-Identity] <UserIdParameter>
   -ActionType <ActionType>
   [-Confirm]
   [-PassThru]
   [-WhatIf]
   [<CommonParameters>]

Description

This cmdlet sets the configuration for processing of incoming calls defined for a specific user. If Busy Options is enabled for the organization, all users in your organization, both Enterprise Voice and non-Enterprise Voice users, can use the following features:

  • Busy on Busy - In which new incoming calls will be rejected with a busy signal if the user is busy.

  • Voicemail on Busy - In which new incoming calls will be forwarded to voice mail if the user is busy.

The Busy Options feature provides failover capability. If a problem occurs and users fail over to another Front End Server or to another pool in Skype for Business Server, their Busy Options settings will be preserved.

Regardless of how their busy options are configured, users in a call or conference, or those with a call on hold, are not prevented from initiating new calls or conferences.

After configuration, the Busy Options setting is in effect for all the user's Skype for Business call devices and clients. Based on the user's Busy Options settings, the call that is rejected or sent to voice mail would not ring on any of the user's call devices--including Macintosh, Windows Desktop, mobile clients, or IP phones--on which the user is signed in.

Users will see missed-call notifications on their Skype for Business clients and devices, and they will be notified by email as well. Callers whose call was rejected due to Busy on Busy will see a notification in their Skype for Business client stating that the user they attempted to reach is busy on another call.

For more information about how to enable Busy Options in your organization, see (https://video2.skills-academy.com/skypeforbusiness/deploy/deploy-enterprise-voice/install-and-configure-busy-options).
