Remove-Diacritics

Hi guys,
it is easy write Powershell script to create users based on the settings in CSV file. Much more difficult is naming convention for logon names. Few month ago I found pretty little function to remove diacritics from string. It is really easy to use this function:


$newString = Remove-Diacritics ("ěščřžžřýí")
or 
Write-host (Remove-Diacritics("ěščřžřžý"))

Disable Lync accounts for users disabled in AD




















Obrázek







  Hi all,  few days ago I had to do some clean up tasks at one of our customer. Goal was to disable Lync accounts for users, that do not work for company anymore.   It seems like a powershell mission. To get list of disabled AD accounts that still have enabled Lync you can use following line:    Get -CsAdUser   -ResultSize   Unlimited |  Where-Object   {$_.UserAccountControl  -match "AccountDisabled"   -and   $_.Enabled  -eq   $true } |  Format-Table   Name,Enabled,SipAddress  -auto   Then you can easily remove Lync account by using following line:   Get -CsAdUser   -ResultSize   Unlimited |  Where-Object   {$_.UserAccountControl  -match "AccountDisabled"   -and   $_.Enabled} | Disable -CsUser

If you need to create new user, then you can use Copy in Active Directory Users and Computers console. If you want to copy membership to an existing user, you can use PowerShell.

Obrázek







  Today I had to installed Persistent Chat to our existing Lync 2013 Standart environement. Plan was use dedicated server for Persistent chat and second dedicated server for SQL Server 2012. Installation was simple as expected. After successfull installation Persistent Chat service could not start. Why?
