    Hello,

    Are there Powershell commands to manage Group Chat?

    We need to add a large number of users to particular Chat rooms.  The GUI seems rather rudimentary.  Please tell me there is a way to do this via Powershell.  If not, any other recommendations?  Is it possible to add users to an AD group and add that group to the chat room member list?

    Thanks!

    You can also use Groups or OUs to target users for Group Chat

    Hi,Robrandon,

    As far as I know there is no built-in cmdlet for Group Chat,but Group Chat relies on AD DS for the pool of internal Lync 2010 Group Chat users, you can add the users and groups to the scope and membership of your categories and chat rooms.You can check the Understanding Group Chat Scope and Membership for more details.

    Hi Johan and Sharon,

    Thank you both for your reply.  We ended up using AD Groups to permission the Chat Rooms and it works great.

    Thanks,

    Rob
