Specify the Client Versions Supported in Your Organization

  • To edit the default client version policy

As a general rule, client version policies are most-easily edited by modifying the client version policy rules associated with those policies. However, there might be times when you find it useful to use the Set-CsClientVersionPolicy cmdlet to directly modify a policy. For example, the following set of commands removes all the current client version policy rules from the Redmond site policy, copies the client version policy rules from the Dublin site policy, then assigns those same rules to the Redmond site:

Set-CsClientVersionPolicy -Identity site:Redmond -Rules $Null

 

$x = Get-CsClientVersionPolicy -Identity site:Dublin | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Rules

 

Set-CsClientVersionPolicy -Identity site:Redmond -Rules $x
