In my previous post, I just showed you how to search for a security group in AD, and set cs-user properties based on the selection of users.
My script is based on these users having 100% correct formatted phone attribute in Active Directory. But as some of you already know, that might not be the case. Some have formatted their phone numbers with spaces like this: +47 22 22 22 22, some might have used other characters like this +1 (454) 123 4567 and others might not have the proper E.164 international formatting and have left out their international code: (202) 123 4567.
Fear not, I will tell you how to handle this (as long as they all have the same "error" in their syntax).
If you look at the following command:
Get-ADGroup -Identity TestGroup | Get-ADGroupMember -verbose | foreach {get-csaduser -identity $_.Name | foreach {
$sipit = $_.phone
$sipit = "tel:" + $sipit
Set-CsUser -Identity $_.Name -EnterpriseVoiceEnabled $true -LineURI $sipit -PassThru | Grant-CsClientPolicy -PolicyName restrict}}
You can see we grab the "phone" attribute and populate it into a variable I have called $sipit. Then I add the "tel:" to the already existing $sipit variable. After this, the output of $sipit is "tel:-whateverwasinthephoneattrib". If the phone attrib is wrongly formatted, we need to alter this before we add the "tel:". We can do this using the -replace command. And I will sow you two examples of how to do this.
1)
Get-ADGroup -Identity $groupfetch | Get-ADGroupMember -verbose | foreach {get-csaduser -identity $_.Name | foreach {
$sipit = $_.phone
## Next line will remover anythin in the string that is not a number (including +, spaces, () and more)
$sipit = $sipit -rplace "[^0-9]"
## Next line is slightly modified to add the + back into the phone number
$sipit = "tel:+" + $sipit
Set-CsUser -Identity $_.Name -EnterpriseVoiceEnabled $true -LineURI $sipit -PassThru | Grant-CsClientPolicy -PolicyName restrict}}
Given the command above you would take a number like this +1 (234) 567 8900, or this: +1 234 5678900 and turn them into the correct lineURI format tel:+12345678900.
2)
Just as an example, I'll show how to add the national prefix if this is not present in the AD property:
Get-ADGroup -Identity $groupfetch | Get-ADGroupMember -verbose | foreach {get-csaduser -identity $_.Name | foreach {
$sipit = $_.phone
## Next line will remover anythin in the string that is not a number (including +, spaces, () and more)
$sipit = $sipit -rplace "[^0-9]"
## Next line is slightly modified to add the + and the international prefix into the phone number
## I used the North American code +1 in the example. You use whatever you need to in your deployment.
$sipit = "tel:+1" + $sipit
Set-CsUser -Identity $_.Name -EnterpriseVoiceEnabled $true -LineURI $sipit -PassThru | Grant-CsClientPolicy -PolicyName restrict}}
Quite simple, and a very quick way to enable telephony for your users. have fun labbing, and please let me know what you think about these posts.
