Some Useful PowerShell One Liners for Lync

Useful PowerShell One-Liners for Lync

Below are some one-liners I use often in administering Lync systems, so I thought I would share this as a reference. These should be run from a Lync PowerShell Instance, unless otherwise indicated:

List a User's Response Group Memberships

get-csrgsagentgroup | Where-Object {$_.AgentsByUri -like "sip:first.last@domain.com"} | Select name

Get users in specific OU and output to csv (run from Exchange Powershell)

get-mailbox -OrganizationalUnit "ou=YourOU,dc=DOMAIN,dc=COM" -resultsize unlimited | select-object DisplayName,SamAccountName,PrimarySmtpAddress | Export-CSV e:\files\DomainUsers.csv

Invoking CMS Replication
Invoke-CSManagementStoreReplication

Getting CMS Replication Status of only Lync Servers

Get-CsManagementStoreReplicationStatus | Where-Object {$_.ReplicaFqdn -match "ServerNamingConvention" -Or $_.ReplicaFqdn -match "SBANamingConvention"} | Select ReplicaFqdn, UpToDate

Get users where External Access is…

get-csuser | Where {$_.ExternalAccessPolicy -like "PolicyName"}

Counting users who have a telephone number set in Lync

get-csuser | Sort-Object LineURI | where {$_.LineURI -ne ""} | Measure-Object

Finding AD Disabled Accounts Who are Still Lync Enabled

Get-CsAdUser | ?{$_.UserAccountControl -match "AccountDisabled" -and $_.Enabled -eq $true} | ft Name,Enabled,SipAddress -auto

Counting AD Disabled Accounts Who are Still Lync Enabled

Get-CsAdUser | ?{$_.UserAccountControl -match "AccountDisabled" -and $_.Enabled -eq $true} | Measure-Object

List all users in a pool

get-csuser | where-object {$_.RegistrarPool -like "lyncpoolfqdn"}  | Select-Object DisplayName, LineUri

List all Common Area Phones in a pool

get-cscommonareaphone | where-object {$_.RegistrarPool -like "lyncpoolfqdn"}  | Select-Object DisplayName, LineUri

List all Analog Devices in a pool

get-csanalogdevice | where-object {$_.RegistrarPool -like "lyncpoolfqdn"} | Select-Object DisplayName, LineUri

Count How Many Users are on Lync

(Get-CsUser -OnLyncServer).Count

Get PowerShell Version (run from any PowerShell Session)

$PSVersionTable.PSVersion.Major

Or

Get-Host | Select-Object Version

Getting Relative Dates (run from any PowerShell Session)

Here's a quick and fast way of generating relative dates in any format:

(Get-Date).AddDays(-1).ToString('yyyy-MM-dd')<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office"/>

This returns all error events from the System event log in the past 48 hours: (run from any PowerShell Session)

Get-EventLog -LogName System -EntryType Error -After (Get-Date).AddDays(-2)

I'll add more as need arises. Hope these are helpful.
