Controlling call forwarding

Call forwarding is a feature usually managed on the client side of Lync. If call-forwarding options are enabled, users can forward phone calls to another number or to another contact. The Set-CsVoicePolicy and Get-CsVoicePolicy cmdlets enable the Lync administrator to centrally manage this feature.

How to do it...

  1. Our company's requirement is to disable call forwarding for the users that are included in the UK-London-Local voice policy. The first step is to verify which voice policies enable the feature. We can use the following statement:
    Get-CsVoicePolicy | Where-Object {$_.AllowCallForwarding -eq $True} 
  2. The UK-London-Local policy allows all forwarding. To disable it, we can use the following command:
    Set-CsVoicePolicy UK-London-Local -Allowcallforwarding $false

There's more...

It is possible to manage Lync Call Forwarding using the Secondary Extension Feature Activation Utility (SEFAUtil), which is part of the Lync Server 2013 resource kit tools (an explanation about deploying SEFAUtil is available on the Microsoft TechNet page at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj945659.aspx). Andrew Price outlined the process in a post Call Forwarding via SEFAUtil (http://lyncme.co.uk/microsoft-lync-server-2010/call-forwarding-via-sefautil/) on his blog.

Note

SEFAUtil allows us to manage features such as simultaneous ringing, unanswered timeout forwarding, and call pickups (with Lync Server 2013).
