Cmdlets in Skype for Business Online that use a user identity

 

In Skype for Business Online, there are a number of different ways to reference an individual user Identity:

  • Use the user’s Active Directory Domain Services display name. For example:

    -Identity "Ken Myer"
    
  • Use the user’s SIP address. For example:

    -Identity "sip:kenmyer@litwareinc.com"
    
  • Use the user’s UPN. For example:

    -Identity " kenmyer@litwareinc.com"
    
  • Use the user’s Active Directory Domain Services distinguished name. For example:

    -Identity "CN=48ebd1ba-95d4-460c-b751-811ebf0c4611,OU=fa8226f5-14fa-46da-8 236-039b25bc7a27,OU=Lync Online Tenants,DC=litwareinc,DC=com"
    

The following cmdlets accept a user Identity:

Note that you do not need to specify a user Identity when calling one of the Get-Cs cmdlets. In this case, the cmdlets return all the instances of the specified item. For example, this command returns information about all the users who have been enabled for Skype for Business Online:

Get-CsOnlineUser

The Identity parameter is required only if you want to return information for a specific user:

Get-CsOnlineUser -Identity "Ken Myer"
