Powershell Commands to Test Lync and Skype for Business Services
Este articulo en Español aquí
After a few weeks without writing today I have been encouraged again, I have many “articles” in my mind, but I am more involved in some new project. This time I bring some PowerShell commands that you can launch tests of installed services in a Skype for Business implementation.
Usually when we do a Unified Communications installation there is a moment during the project where we will do a “battery” of tests to check the services of Skype for Business. This complicates sometimes, because we will need at least 2 or 3 Skype clients with different user accounts to do the “typical” IM tests, calls, conferences, etc … Apart from The complication to have the “clients” Skype simultaneously, we will need the help of another coworker to be able to do the tests.
Well, with these commands that I will specify below, we will be able to do a basic tests of the Skype services that will give us the “health” result of the platform.
To perform the tests we will need two accounts registered in Skype for Business, I always advise to have a couple of “Test” accounts, which we can have to do tests, etc. This is something we will ask in the Initial Requirements to begin the installation To our client or the Active Directory administrators. In this case the accounts that I am going to use are.
Login: MRLYNC\SkypeTest1
Sip: SkypeTest1@mrlync.com
Password: *********Login: MRLYNC\SkypeTest2
Sip: SkypeTest1@mrlync.com
Password: *********
Once we have the data of our “Test” accounts, we will enable them in our Skype for Business.
Declare the variables
The first thing we will do is declare your variables with the data we want to use for the tests:
$login1 = “SkypeTest1@mrlync.com”
$sip1 = “SkypeTest1@mrlync.com”
$password1 = “*****” | ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText -Force
$cred1 = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PsCredential($login1, $password1)
$login2 = “SkypeTest2@mrlync.com”
$sip2 = “SkypeTest2@mrlync.com”
$password2 = “******” | ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText -Force
$cred2 = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PsCredential($login2, $password2)
$targetfqdn = “skypepool.mrlync.com”
$authtype = “ClientCertificate”
#$authtype = “Negotiate”
Surely you have noticed that the field “login” we declare it as the field “Sip”, with Skype for Business I worked in this way the commands, but if we are going to run the tests in a platform of Lync 2013, surely we will need to put The login field: “MRLYNC \ SkypeTest1”
Front End Services
Once we have collected the data in the variables, we use the following commands to test the services of our Pool or Standard Front End Server.
#Regitration
Write-Host “Registration“
Test-CsRegistration -authentication $authtype -TargetFqdn $targetfqdn -RegistrarPort 5061 -UserSipAddress $sip1 -UserCredential:$cred1
#Address Book Service
Write-Host “Address Book Service“
Test-CsAddressBookService -authentication $authtype -TargetFqdn $targetfqdn -RegistrarPort 5061 -UserSipAddress $sip1 -UserCredential:$cred1
#Lis Configuration
Write-Host “Lis Configuration“
Test-CsLisConfiguration -authentication $authtype -TargetFqdn $targetfqdn -RegistrarPort 5061 -UserSipAddress $sip1 -UserCredential:$cred1
#Presence
Write-Host “Presence“
Test-CsPresence -authentication $authtype -TargetFqdn $targetfqdn -RegistrarPort 5061 -SubscriberSipAddress “sip:$sip1” -SubscriberCredential $cred1 -PublisherSipAddress “sip:$sip2” -PublisherCredential $cred2
#Lync Web App
Write-Host “Skype Web App“
Test-CsUcwaConference -authentication $authtype -TargetFqdn $targetfqdn -RegistrarPort 5061 -OrganizerSipAddress “sip:$sip1” -OrganizerCredential $cred1 -ParticipantSipAddress “sip:$sip2” -ParticipantCredential $cred2 -verbose
#Skype IM
Write-Host “Skype IM“
Test-CsIm -authentication $authtype -TargetFqdn $targetfqdn -RegistrarPort 5061 -SenderSipAddress “sip:$login1” -SenderCredential $cred1 -ReceiverSipAddress “sip:$login2” -ReceiverCredential $cred2
Test-CsGroupIM -authentication $authtype -TargetFqdn $targetfqdn -RegistrarPort 5061 -SenderSipAddress “sip:$sip1” -SenderCredential $cred1 -ReceiverSipAddress “sip:$sip2” -ReceiverCredential $cred2
Test-CsMcxP2PIM -authentication $authtype -TargetFqdn $targetfqdn -RegistrarPort 5061 -SenderSipAddress “sip:$sip1” -SenderCredential $cred1 -ReceiverSipAddress “sip:$sip2” -ReceiverCredential $cred2
#VoIP
Write-Host “VoIP”
Test-CsP2PAv -authentication $authtype -TargetFqdn $targetfqdn -RegistrarPort 5061 -SenderSipAddress “sip:$sip1” -SenderCredential $cred1 -ReceiverSipAddress “sip:$sip2” -ReceiverCredential $cred2
All of these commands can be added in a TxT file format * .ps1 and launched directly as a script from PowerShell, so we can use it to test the Skype deployments that we will configure
