Remote Call Control Only via cmdlet

Is it possible configure Lync user for Remote call control anly (not just Remote call control) via comand line? As far as I undestand Ad attribute msRTCSIP-OptionFlags is no longe exist for Lync. So where or how this user property could be manage?

Hi,

You can do this from Control Panel, User configuration.

The question was how to do this via comand line, not via GUI!!! I don't need to do this via Lync Control Panel.

Thank you anyway.

Although you can still use the msRTCSIP-OptionFlags. I would recommend you use the Lync Management Shell, this allows you to enable users either indiviually or to write a PowerShell script and automate the process. For example to enable a user for RCC you can use this format.

Set-CsUser -Identity "Katie Jordan" -EnterpriseVoiceEnabled $false -LineServerUri sip:rccgateway@contoso.net -LineUri tel:+14255550150 -RemoteCallControlTelephonyEnabled $true

Details on enable users for RCC can be found here http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg615048.aspx

Hi, You are probably looking for the set-csuser cmdlet: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg398510.aspx Your caommand would look like something like the (you have to enable the user for Lync first):  Set-CsUser -Identity <UserIdParameter> -RemoteCallControlTelephonyEnabled $true -lineserveruri "remote sipaddress, like meme@presence.com" -lineuri "will depend on your system, for cisco = tel:XXXX;phone-context=dialstring;device=SEPXXXXXXXXXXXX".

msRTCSIP-OptionFlags is obsolete for Lync Server 2010, so I can't use it.

Set-CSUser put user into "RRC" mode, not "RCC only" mode. This is a problem.

If you run "get-csuser -identity <enter id> I guess the "enterpricevoiceenabled" = $true.

Try running set-csuser again, with the -enterpricevoiceenabled $false

I've run set-csuser with  -enterpricevoiceenabled $false, so it's not the pointof faulture.

The only difference between RCC and RCC only is audio and video are disabled in RCC Only. That is turned off with the - AudioVideoDisabled $true parameter on the set-csuser command

What are you talking about? http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg398510.aspx

AudioVideoDisabled

Optional

Boolean

Indicates whether the user is allowed to make audio/visual (A/V) calls by using Lync 2010. If set to True, the user will largely be restricted to sending and receiving instant messages.

You cannot disable A/V communications if a user is currently enabled for remote call control, Enterprise Voice, and/or Internet Protocol private branch exchange (IP-PBX) soft phone routing.

You can't disable A/V if your choose RCC.

As far as I know RCC only disable PC-to-PC, not A/V communication.

I just compared two users in my own production envrionment. by running get-csuser. User a was remote control, User b was remote control only.

The only difference between user a and user b was user b's "AudioVideoDisabled $true" where user a was set to false.

Video is automatically disabled with RCC, although that is planned to be changed in a future update. So it is only P2P audio you would be disabling.

I would suggest you do try the msRTCSIP-OptionFlags, it is not obsolete as most of the user config is still held in AD. The option for RCC only is 2048 and I am pretty certain it works from what I have read but so far I have not had reason to test it myself. It is strange this option isn't directly in PowerShell.

I just ran the set-csuser -audiovideodisabled $true on a remote call control user, and it switched to remote call control only.

Yep, it works.

Thanks to all.

So my original suggestion of using -AudioVideoDisabled $true worked it is just the documentation that is wrong?
