Description

The unified contact store introduced in Skype for Business Server gives administrators the option of storing a user's contacts in Skype for Business instead of in Skype for Business Server; in turn that allows the user to access the same set of contacts in Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Web Access as well as in Skype for Business. (Alternatively, you can continue to store contacts in Skype for Business Server. In that case, users will have to maintain two separate sets of contacts: one for use with Outlook and Outlook Web Access, and one for use with Skype for Business.)

In order to take advantage of the unified contact store you must (among other things) assign the user a user services policy that enables the use of the unified contact store. User service policies (which can be configured at the global, site, or the per-user scope) contain only a single property: UcsAllowed. When this property is set to True then (assuming all the other prerequisites have been met) the next time a user logs on to Skype for Business Server his or her contacts will automatically be migrated to the unified contact store.

If this property is set to False this automatic migration will not take place. However, simply setting UcsAllowed will not cause a user's contacts to be moved from the unified contact store back to Skype for Business Server. In order to do that, you must first assign the user a user services policy that does not allow the use of the unified contact store. After that, you must then use the Invoke-CsUcsRollback cmdlet to "manually" migrate the contacts from the unified contact store back to Skype for Business Server.

Skype for Business Server Control Panel: The functions carried out by the Grant-CsUserServicesPolicy cmdlet are not available in the Skype for Business Server Control Panel.

Examples

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

Grant-CsUserServicesPolicy -Identity "Ken Myer" -PolicyName "RedmondUserServicesPolicy"

The command shown in Example 1 assigns the per-user User Services policy RedmondUserServicesPolicy to the user with the Identity (in this example, the Active Directory display name) Ken Myer.

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

Grant-CsUserServicesPolicy -Identity "Ken Myer" -PolicyName $Null

Example 2 unassigns any per-user Users Services policy previously assigned to Ken Myer. Per-user policies are unassigned by setting the PolicyName parameter to a Null value ($Null).

-------------------------- Example 3 --------------------------

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

In Example 3, all the users on the RegistrarPool atl-cs-001.litwareinc.com are assigned the per-user Users Services policy RedmondUserServicesPolicy. To do this, the Get-CsUser cmdlet is first called along with the Filter parameter; the filter value {RegistrarPool -eq "atl-cs-001.litwareinc.com" limits the returned data to users who have been homed on the Registrar pool atl-cs-001.litwareinc.com. This collection of users is then piped to the Grant-CsUserServicesPolicy cmdlet, which, in turn assigns the policy RedmondUserServicesPolicy to each user in the collection.

Parameters

-Confirm

-DomainController

-Identity

-PassThru

-PolicyName

Inputs

String value or Microsoft.Rtc.Management.ADConnect.Schema.ADUser object. The Grant-CsUserServicesPolicy 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-CsUserServicesPolicy cmdlet does not return a value or object. However, if you include the PassThru parameter, the cmdlet will return instances of the Microsoft.Rtc.Management.ADConnect.Schema.OCSUserOrAppContact.
