Any good Power Shell command or script to see connected users in real time for Lync 2013

Are there any good Power Shell commands or scripts that can tell you how many users are connected to a pool in real time so you can evaluate the current load. I have 3 FE servers in a single pool. We just started deploying the lync client to the users and
were curious as to how many are actually connected. I saw a number of home made scripts but really didn't care for any of them. I just want to find out how many users that are actually connected to the pool at a particular moment so we can see how many users
are really using the product.

Have you looked at Pat Richard's get-csconnections script?: http://www.ehloworld.com/269

Power Shell Command using CSOM

Hi,
We have prepared a Power Shell command using Client Side scripts as per client requirements. The client did not had access to the SharePoint Server. So, PS commands with
server side scripts was out of scope.
The client requirement was to delete all the permissions on the list that was being inherited from site. Since the number of users were huge, so deleting all the users using ribbon was not possible.
Please have a look at the scripts below and let me know your feedback. If you have better suggestion than this, please let me know.
#location of client dlls on users' local system
$loc = "C:\SharePoint\ClientDLL"
//SharePoint Site URL
$siteUrl = ""
#Write your Login ID
$loginname = ""
#Write the Name of the List
$listname = ""
Set-Location $loc
Add-Type -Path (Resolve-Path "Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.dll")
Add-Type -Path (Resolve-Path "Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Runtime.dll")
Write-Host "Please enter password for $($siteUrl):"
$pwd = Read-Host -AsSecureString
$ctx = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ClientContext($siteUrl)
Try
# Remove or replace line below to change authentication method
$ctx.Credentials = New-Object System.Net.NetworkCredential($loginname, $pwd)
$web = $ctx.Web
$ctx.Load($web)
$ctx.ExecuteQuery()
#Write-Host "Current web title is '$($web.Title)', $($web.Url)"
$list = $Web.Lists.GetByTitle($listname);
$ctx.Load($list);
$ctx.ExecuteQuery();
Write-Host "Deleting Permissions on List : $($list.Title)"
if($list.HasUniquePermissions)
                #Write-Host "Has Unique Permissions"
                $list.ResetRoleInheritance()
                $list.BreakRoleInheritance($false, $true)
                Write-Host "Permissions deleted" -foregroundcolor Green
if(-not $list.HasUniquePermissions)
                #Write-Host "Does not has Unique Permissions"
                $list.ResetRoleInheritance()
                $list.BreakRoleInheritance($false, $true)
                Write-Host "Permissions deleted" -foregroundcolor Green
Catch
                Write-Host "Some Error, Please Contact Administrator" -foregroundcolor Red
                return
$list.Update()
$ctx.ExecuteQuery();

Hi Sudheer,
In Client-Side, we can also use .NET Client Object Model to achieve your requirement.
Remove permission in Sharepoint List using Client Object Model
https://rambabualaparthi.wordpress.com/2013/12/30/remove-permission-in-sharepoint-list-using-client-object-model/
In order to better manage SharePoint in Client side, I suggest develop a Winform or WPF application and use .Net Client Object Model to achieve some requirements.

How to Execute Power Shell Command From Windows Application.

Hi All Experts,
I want to execute power shell commands from my windows application.
Is it possible ?
Please let me know your comments..
Thanks.

I have not tried this, but apprently it is easy as in the sample pasted below. please see this article for more details
http://geekswithblogs.net/Norgean/archive/2012/09/19/running-powershell-from-within-sharepoint.aspx.
Let me know how it goes...
public string RunPowershell(string powershellText, SPWeb web, string param1, string param2) {
// Powershell ~= RunspaceFactory - i.e. Create a powershell context
var runspace = RunspaceFactory.CreateRunspace();
var resultString = new StringBuilder();
try
// load the SharePoint snapin - Note: you cannot do this in the script itself (i.e. add-pssnapin etc does not work)
PSSnapInException snapInError;
runspace.RunspaceConfiguration.AddPSSnapIn("Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell", out snapInError);
runspace.Open();
// set a web variable.
runspace.SessionStateProxy.SetVariable("webContext", web);
// and some user defined parameters
runspace.SessionStateProxy.SetVariable("param1", param1);
runspace.SessionStateProxy.SetVariable("param2", param2);
var pipeline = runspace.CreatePipeline();
pipeline.Commands.AddScript(powershellText);
// add a "return" variable
pipeline.Commands.Add("Out-String");
// execute!
var results = pipeline.Invoke();
// convert the script result into a single string
foreach (PSObject obj in results)
resultString.AppendLine(obj.ToString());
finally
// close the runspace
runspace.Close();
// consider logging the result. Or something.
return resultString.ToString();
Ok. We've written some code. Let us test it.
var runner = new PowershellRunner();
runner.RunPowershellScript(@"
$web = Get-SPWeb 'http://server/web' # or $webContext
$web.Title = $param1
$web.Update()
$web.Dispose()
", null, "New title", "not used");

Need a power shell command for Front End fail over?

We have a Lync 2013 infrastructure with 2 front ends and 2 edges.
The environment was setup by a partner and the servers were configured for failover in case one goes down in the pool.
However the last time windows updates were applied and the primary FE had to be restarted, the secondary FE did not automatically switch over as the active server and it caused a companywide outage.
In speaking with the contractor, they said that well no it would not automatically do this, you need to run a Lync PowerShell to have it switch over.
My BS radar went off, but I wanted to ask you if this sounds right or is possible.
If it must be done, could you give me the power shell command.
Thanks

Hi,
Did you solve the issue with the help of the people above provided?
If you use a Lync server Enterprise edition, it is recommended to deploy at least three FE servers.
If you use two Lync server Standard edition for DR,
when one of the servers fails in the Pool Pair, the administrator need to manually failover the pool to the other member of the Pool Pair using the
command: Invoke-CsPoolFailover -PoolFQDN <Pool1 FQDN> -DisasterMode -Verbose
The Automatic failover and failback for
Voice option and the associated time intervals in Topology Builder apply only to the voice resiliency features that were introduced in Lync Server 2010. Selecting this option does not imply that the pool failover discussed in this document is automatic.
Pool failover and failback always require an administrator to manually invoke the failover and failback.
You can refer to the link below about how to failover a pool:

Does it help, yes and no. FYI, we are running Enterprise Edition front ends for our single pool. The new environment was setup as a proof of concept and we installed the bare minimum # of servers at the time.
The articles suggested from above pretty much just say if one of your FE's goes down, bring it back up as soon as possible. Both of our FE's need windows updates applied ASAP and it could an hour or more (likely). Here is a quote from the article:
If for some reason you need to bring both servers down at the same time, do the following when the downtime for the pool is finished:
The best practice is to restart both Front End Servers at the same time.
If the two servers cannot be restarted at the same time, you should bring them back up in the reverse order of the order they went down.
If you cannot bring them back up in that order, then use the following cmdlet before bringing the pool back up:
Reset-CsPoolRegistrarState -ResetType QuorumLossRecovery -PoolFQDN <FQDN>
The last time the main FE went down for service, we left the secondary FE on but there was still an outage. Then brought back the formerly active FE fist and service was restored. Basically I need to know how to switch the passive to the active
node before/while the primary is offline. And if required once both FE's are back up, to switch the service from the secondary that became active, back to the primary server as it was before. Make sense? Perhaps I'm still missing something
after reading the articles. The powershell commands list just updating the topology after both servers come back online.

Power shell command not working in Power shell ISE

I was looking for guidance on a problem I was having and found a post from
Bigteddy on TechNet that had this command
Get-ADUser -Identity sam -Properties memberof | select -ExpandProperty memberof
I kept trying it many ways and it always fails in power shell ISE.
I get the below output
The term 'Get-ADUser' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of
the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is c
orrect and try again.

I put the same command in the power shell module window and it works perfectly
Any idea how I can make this work for striping purposes in power shell ise

If that returns an error, chances are that you do not have the module on your computer. You can verify that by running

Power Shell command

hi
I would like to help me with a command that will give me the clearance of each mailbox in Exchange 2013
Thanks!

Hi,
Do you mean the security clearance of each mailbox in Exchange 2013?
In Exchange 2013, we can use the EAC or the Shell to assign permissions to users or groups (called delegates) that allow them to open or send messages from other mailboxes. To perform this procedure, user need to be assigned a member of Organization Management
role group.
Refer to this article about Manage Permissions For Recipients.

How to bring a prompt to User sitting on a laptop/desktop using Power shell command/script before machine gets rebooted.

Hi Experts,
I am a novice in Powershell and trying to learn PowerShell.
Currently, i need to reboot some 50-60 desktops remotely.
i am using the below powershell command
gc c:\Temp\machineList.txt |%{Restart-computer -computername $_ -force}
It is working perfect for me but what i want is before machine gets rebooted User should get a prompt like "Your machine will be rebooted in 60 seconds, Please save your work".
How i can achieve this in a powershell script.
Thanks in advance.
Daya

an other option is to start taskmanager on Domain Controller
go to users right click user Object send message
regards Thomas Paetzold visit my blog on: http://sus42.wordpress.com
"taskmanager"?
That only works for users logged into the dc. Users should not be allowed to log into the DC directly.
I suspect you mean to use the MSG facility if it is not disabled. MSG /?. This can send messages to uses on various systems.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Is there any power shell command available to get all information/settings from Config Database/Farm

Hi,
Basically we are rebuilidng a new farm which will be a replica of other environment. We have setup Sharepoint and migrated all contents.So everything looks same. Now the question is, what else info need to check from the current FARM whether it is 100% matched
with new one.
Is there any script I can run which will give me all information from SP FARM then I could have compared with new farm.
Thanks
srabon

Check the below script which provides common service application settings, AAM, Designer settings,Farm configuration and few more details.. you can run it in both farms and validate the outputs

Problem with shell commands and scripts from an Applescript Application

Hi-
I am fairly new to OSX software development. I am trying to build an application that creates a reverse SSH tunnel to my computer and starts OSXvnc. The idea is that my Mom or anyone else who needs help can connect to me without having to tinker with their firewalls.
There are plenty of resources on how to do this, and I have found them. What I have a problem with is the following.
I am building this application in Xcode as an Applescript application, because Applescript and shell scripting are the only forms of programming I know. I use an expect script to connect through SSH, and a "do shell script" for the raw OSXvnc-server application to allow screen sharing.
The problem is that when I click on the button to launch OSXvnc-server or the button to launch SSH, the application freezes until the process it spawns is killed or finishes. For example, I can set SSH to timeout after 60 seconds of no connection, and then the Applescript application responds again. I even tried using the ssh -f command to fork the process, but that doesn't seem to help.
I am also using "try" around each of the items.
What am I doing wrong? How can I make the buttons in my app launch SSH and OSXvnc-server without hanging the application while it waits for them to finish?
Thanks so much!

See here for an explanation of the syntax.

Struggling with a simple Power Shell command

I have been doing a lot of mailbox moving and after the move, the source winds up in Disconnected Mailboxes. I typically wait a few days before removing the disconnected mailbox to make sure the user is OK. Although I have never restored a mailbox from a
disconnected state, I suppose the situation could arise some day. Anyway, I use the commands below to remove the disconnected mailboxes.
$sdmailbox=Get-MailboxStatistics -Database DB1| where {$_.DisconnectReason -eq “SoftDeleted”}
then
$sdmailbox | foreach {Remove-StoreMailbox -Database $_.database -Identity $_.DisplayName -MailboxState SoftDeleted} $confirm
Of course, the first command returns ALL the softdeleted mailboxes. Is there a way to run this command so it only returns mailboxes that were disconnected say 2 days ago?
Been playing around with the variable $_.DisconnectedDate and just can't get it to work.

Disconnected before two days...
$sdmailbox=Get-MailboxStatistics -Database DB1| where {$_.DisconnectReason -eq “SoftDeleted” -and $_.DisconnectDate -ne $null -and $_.DisconnectDate -lt (get-date).AddDays(-2)}
Disconnected in last two days ...
$sdmailbox=Get-MailboxStatistics -Database DB1| where {$_.DisconnectReason -eq “SoftDeleted” -and $_.DisconnectDate -ne $null -and $_.DisconnectDate -gt (get-date).AddDays(-2)}

Shell command authorization

Hi all
I am having a problem with Shell Command Authorization. I have a user setup who I only want to be able to display the config, this is for automated config archival on an hourly basis.
I have configuered the device with the following aaa commands:
aaa new-model
aaa group server tacacs+ ACS
aaa authentication login default group ACS
aaa authentication login NOAUTH none
aaa authorization config-commands
aaa authorization exec default group tacacs+ group ACS
aaa authorization exec NOAUTH none
aaa authorization commands 15 default group ACS
aaa authorization commands 15 NOAUTH none
aaa accounting commands 15 default start-stop group ACS
The static account I have configured logs in ok and can show config etc. Access to conf t is disabled which is good but for some reason he can do any show command instead of just show run which is all I have allowed in the Shell command authorization.
Unmatched commands is set to deny and permit unmatched arguements is unchecked.
ACS is 3.3(2) and the switch I am testing is running 12.1(9)EA1
Any ideas?

Most "show" command are level 1 commands. You can verify this by logging in as a normal user, issue a "sho priv" to ensure you're at level 1, and then type "sho ip route", "sho ver", etc, you'll see that all of them work fine.
Your AAA commands only tell the switch to authorize level 15 commands, so when you do a "sho ver" or the like this command will not be sent off to the ACS server for authorization.
If you add the following:
aaa authorization commands 1 default group ACS
then that shoud fix it, but be careful because it's easy to lock yourself out of being able to get into enable mode (add "enable" into your command set too).
You should also have noticed that all those "show" commands weren't being accounted either, because you have also only enabled accounting for level 15 commands.
