    Hi there,

    I've followed the process of configuring Powershell remoting to allow our Help Desk to administer Lync remotely. http://blogs.technet.com/b/ilvancri/archive/2010/11/25/using-remote-powershell-to-connect-to-lync.aspx 

    This all works fine, and all typical Lync PS cmdlets functions are accessible... except for anything to do with Lync Mobility: ie. grant-csmobilitypolicy or get-csmobilitypolicy

    For some reasons, these command just don't appear to be accessible. I'm not sure whether it's because they came later in CU4. I need to allow our Help Desk to assign these policies, and of course MS don't provide a mechanism to do it via the Control Panel which just leaves PowerShell, and I don't want to allow them logon access to the Lync servers themselves.

    Does anyone have any ideas why Lync Mobility cmdlets would be inaccessible via PowerShell remoting?

    Regards, James

    Hi,

    I find I also can not use the mobility cmdlets in remote powershell. Looks like the lync server did not add the mobility cmdlets to the ocspowershell. I will have a try to find a way to add the mobility cmdlets to the ocspowershell.

    Hi,

    Looks the powershell didnot recognize the cmdlets:

    The term 'Get-CsMobilityPolicy' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

    Going to open a ticket with PSS, as I need to get this working. Will you keep posted.

    Yes just to back you up, I am experiencing exactly the same behaviour. ie all std Lync PS commands work fine but mobility commands fail.

    eg The term 'Grant-CsMobilityPolicy' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. ....

    Please let me know if you get an answer from PSS

    (Running commands locally on the server is fine, but issues occur when remoting to the server)

    Response from PSS:

    Actually, this is an known issue for Lync Mobility Component, the Fix will be contained in Lync 2010 CU6 release.

    Resolution shouldn't be far away hopefully. Thx

    Update: PSS have just confirmed this wasn't fixed in the last release of CU6 (sigh).
