Description

The CsPresenceProvider cmdlets are used to manage the PresenceProviders property found in the User Services configuration settings. Among other things, these settings are used to maintain presence information, including a collection of authorized presence providers. That collection is stored in the PresenceProviders property. You can use the New-CsPresenceProvider cmdlet to add an authorized presence provider to a collection of User Services configuration settings.

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

Examples

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

New-CsPresenceProvider -Parent "global" -Fqdn "fabrikam.com"

The command shown in Example 1 creates a new presence provider (with the fully qualified domain name "fabrikam.com") that will be added to the global collection of user services configuration settings.

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

Get-CsUserServicesConfiguration | ForEach-Object {New-CsPresenceProvider -Parent $_.Identity -Fqdn "fabrikam.com"}

Example 2 adds a presence provider with the Fqdn "fabrikam.com" to all the user services configuration collections in the organization. To do this, the command first uses the Get-CsUserServicesConfiguration cmdlet to return a collection of all the user services settings. Those settings are then piped to the ForEach-Object, which takes each item in the collection and a creates a new presence provider for that collection, using "fabrikam.com" as the presence provider Fqdn and the Identity of the user services collection as the presence provider Parent.
