Some simple Powershell commands to distribute users in a Skype/Lync Pool by A-K and L-Z
Hi All
I recently wanted to script up distributing users A-K and L-Z across two EE pools. I wanted to something quick and dirty, so this is by no means elegant (which I am hoping to work on :)). But in case you want to do something like this please feel free to use.
Happy Skype/Lync'ing

PS Make sure you test in a dev environment before you run this.
##-----------------------------------------------------------------------
## Function: Move-UserBySurname
##-----------------------------------------------------------------------
function Move-UserBySurname
{
param ([string]$strFilter,[string]$strPoolName,[bool]$UpdateUser=$False)
[string] $strResult = "";
$i=0
Get-CsADUser -Filter {enabled -eq $True -and lastname -like $strFilter} | %{
$strSIP=$_.SipAddress
## If UpdateUser flag not set, no update happens, good for testing
write-host "$i - Processing $strSIP"
If ($UpdateUser) {move-csuser -Identity $strSIP -Target $strPoolName -Confirm:$false}
$i++
}
}
##-----------------------------------------------------------------------
## Alter the UpdateUser flag to $False if you want to just do a quick scan but not move
$UpdateUser=$True
$strPool1="Skypepool1.lab1.org"
$strPool2="Skypepool2.lab1.org"
## I am being lazy here and not including all the letters of the alphabet. was thinking of something more graceful, but got bored :)
$ary="a*","b*","c*","d*","e*","f*","g*","h*"
foreach ($strSurname in $ary) {
cls
write-host "Processing $strSurname"
Move-UserBySurname $strSurname $strPool1 $UpdateUser
}
## I am being lazy here and not including all the letters of the alphabet. was thinking of something more graceful, but got bored :)
$ary="l*","m*","n*","o*","p*","q*","r*","s*"
foreach ($strSurname in $ary) {
cls
write-host "Processing $strSurname"
Move-UserBySurname $strSurname $strPool2 $UpdateUser
}
Below is a sample of me running a cut down version of the script. I am also using a filtered OU to restrict even further, which might be something you want to play with. NOTE: $UpdateUser is set to $False as I am playing around.
