Description

Client policies are applied each time a user accesses the system, regardless of where the user logs on from and regardless of the type of device the user logs on with. In addition, client policies, like other Skype for Business Server policies, can readily be targeted to selected groups of users. You can even create a custom policy that gets assigned to a single user.

Client policies can be configured at the global, site, and per-user scopes. In order to assign per-user policies to users, you must use the Grant-CsClientPolicy cmdlet.

Examples

-------------------------- EXAMPLE 1 --------------------------

Grant-CsClientPolicy -Identity "Ken Myer" -PolicyName SalesPolicy

In Example 1, the client policy SalesPolicy is assigned to the user with the Identity Ken Myer.

-------------------------- EXAMPLE 2 --------------------------

Get-CsUser -LDAPFilter "Department=Sales" | Grant-CsClientPolicy -PolicyName SalesPolicy

In Example 2, all the users who belong to the Sales department are assigned the SalesPolicy client policy. The command first uses the Get-CsUser cmdlet and the LdapFilter parameter to return a collection of all the users who are members of the Sales department. This collection of users is then piped to the Grant-CsClientPolicy cmdlet, which assigns the policy SalesPolicy to each user in the collection.

-------------------------- EXAMPLE 3 --------------------------

Get-CsUser -LDAPFilter "(&(Title=Accountant)(l=Redmond))" | Grant-CsClientPolicy -PolicyName RedmondAccountingPolicy

In Example 3, the client policy RedmondAccountingPolicy is assigned to all the users who meet two criteria: 1) the user must have the job title Accountant; and, 2) the user must work in the city of Redmond. To do this, the command first uses the Get-CsUser cmdlet and the LdapFilter parameter to return a collection of all the users who work in Redmond and have the job title Accountant. The filter value "(&(Title=Accountant)(l=Redmond))" limits the returned data to users who have the job title Accountant (Title=Accountant) and (&) who work in Redmond (l=Redmond). (The "l" is a lowercase L, and represents the user's locality.)

The resulting collection is then piped to the Grant-CsClientPolicy cmdlet, which assigns the policy RedmondAccountingPolicy to each user in the collection.

-------------------------- EXAMPLE 4 --------------------------

Get-CsUser -LdapFilter "(|(Title=Accountant)(Title=Senior Accountant))" | Grant-CsClientPolicy -PolicyName AccountingPolicy

Example 4 assigns the policy AccountingPolicy to all the users who meet one of two criteria: either the user has the job title Accountant or the user has the job title Senior Accountant. To carry out this task, the Get-CsUser cmdlet and the LdapFilter parameter are used to return a collection of users with the job title Accountant or Senior Accountant. The filter value "(|(Title=Accountant)(Title=Senior Accountant))" limits the returned data to users with the job title Accountant (Title=Accountant) or (|) users with the job title Senior Accountant (Title=Senior Accountant). This filtered collection is then piped to the Grant-CsClientPolicy cmdlet, which assigns the client policy AccountingPolicy to each user in the collection.

-------------------------- EXAMPLE 5 --------------------------

Get-CsUser -Filter {RegistrarPool -eq "atl-cs-001.litwareinc.com"} | Grant-CsClientPolicy -PolicyName AtlantaBranchPolicy

In Example 5 all the users with accounts on the Registrar pool atl-cs-001.litwareinc.com are assigned the client policy AtlantaBranchPolicy. To do this, the Get-CsUser cmdlet is first called to return the appropriate user accounts; the Filter parameter and the filter value {RegistrarPool -eq "atl-cs-001.litwareinc.com"} ensure that only user accounts homed on the Registrar pool atl-cs-001.litwareinc.com will be returned. This collection is then piped to the Grant-CsClientPolicy cmdlet, which assigns each user the client policy AtlantaBranchPolicy.

String value or Microsoft.Rtc.Management.ADConnect.Schema.ADUser object. The Grant-CsClientPolicy cmdlet accepts pipelined input of string values representing the Identity of a user account. The cmdlet also accepts pipelined input of user objects.

Outputs

By default, the Grant-CsClientPolicy cmdlet returns no objects or values. However, if you include the PassThru parameter, the cmdlet will return instances of the Microsoft.Rtc.Management.ADConnect.Schema.OCSUserOrAppContact object.
