Recently while finding a solution to uploading group contacts to Lync Server 2013 users forcefully (remotely), I came across Charles Ulrich blog post “Lync Server 2013 – Bulk Updating Contact Groups” in which he explained all the steps you need to take to make this happen. Leeme talk a little bit about the script, the script asks you to configure a reference account where you add all the required groups, and then with the help of this script you download its contact locally. And lastly this script allows you to upload the same group contacts to single or bulk users.
When I tried first time the script, it didn’t work for me as script uses “UserPrincipalName”, where my test users were configured for sipaddress attribute for search able from the CSShell. To make this happen I had to change the script as follows:
Line #143:
Change from: $user_email=MultipleSelectionBox $userlist.UserPrincipalName "Choose Lync 2013 User" "One"
Change to: $user_email=MultipleSelectionBox $userlist.sipaddress.substring(4) “Choose Lync 2013 User” “One”
Charles done a great job with this script, and I believe you all would love too.
