Description

This cmdlet assigns an existing per-user voice policy to a user. Voice policies are used to manage such Enterprise Voice-related features as simultaneous ringing (the ability to have a second phone ring each time someone calls your office phone) and call forwarding. Use this cmdlet to assign the settings that enable and disable these features for a specific user.

You can check whether a user has been granted a per-user voice policy by calling a command in this format: Get-CsUser "<user name>" | Select-Object VoicePolicy. For example:

Get-CsUser "Ken Myer" | Select-Object VoicePolicy

NOTE - For accounts hosted in Skype for Business Online, it is not possible to grant a voice policy via PowerShell. In this scenario, the voice policy is automatically granted based on user licensing.

Examples

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

Grant-CsVoicePolicy -Identity "Ken Myer" -PolicyName VoicePolicyRedmond

This example assigns the voice policy with the Identity VoicePolicyRedmond to the user with the display name Ken Myer.

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

Get-CsUser -OU "ou=Finance,ou=North America,dc=litwareinc,dc=com" | Grant-CsVoicePolicy -PolicyName VoicePolicyRedmond

This example assigns the voice policy with the Identity VoicePolicyRedmond to all users in the Finance OU: OU=Finance,OU=NorthAmerica,DC=litwareinc,DC=com. The first part of the command calls the Get-CsUser cmdlet to retrieve all users enabled for Skype for Business Server from the specified OU. This collection of users is then piped to the Grant-CsVoicePolicy cmdlet, which assigns the policy VoicePolicyRedmond to each of these users.

-Identity

The Identity (unique identifier) of the user to whom the policy is being assigned.

User identities can be specified by using one of four formats: 1) The user's SIP address; 2) the user principal name (UPN); 3) the user's domain name and logon name, in the form domain\logon (for example, litwareinc\kenmyer); and, 4) the user's Active Directory display name (for example, Ken Myer).

Note that you can use the asterisk (*) wildcard character when using the Display Name as the user Identity. For example, the Identity "* Smith" would return all the users with the last name Smith.
