New Lync Server Script Samples
Script to Enable Users and Enterprise Voice in Microsoft Lync Server 2010
https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/Script-to-Enable-Users-and-f56306ed
Description: This script could be used to enable users and enterprise voice feature in Microsoft Lync Server 2010. It will help you to generate LineUri and provide a confliction detection mechanism. Also you can assign dial plans and voice policies at the same time. It is recommended to use this script right after deploying a new Lync environment. You need to find another solution or extend this script to support user provisioning.
User Scenarios: With Enterprise Voice, Microsoft Lync Server 2010 delivers a stand-alone Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) offering to enhance or replace traditional PBX systems. Enterprise Voice users can call colleagues on your organization’s VoIP network or PBX, and they can call traditional phone numbers outside your organization. Currently, administrators feel difficulties when they try to enable users and enterprise voice right after deploying a new Lync environment. It requires a lot of work to assign phone numbers (LineUri) to each user. So administrators do need a script to mitigate this problem.
