  Hi Msgreenjeans,

  Are these servers in the same pool or each server in a single pool?

  If in the same pool, you can deploy load balancing in the pool. Load balancing distributes traffic among the servers in a pool.

  For more details, please refer to:

  https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/skypeforbusiness/plan-your-deployment/network-requirements/load-balancing

  In my experience, I’m afraid that it is impossible to selectively block the ports or services depending on location.

  So we decided to take a different approach. First let me explain that we are not using a full set up. We have only one standard / front-end server at each location. After researching it was decided that most users would simply be provided the ability to text, while a select group would be allowed all of the services to aid in troubleshooting user issues.

  Thank you for your response.

  Hi Msgreenjeans,

  According to your description, you could try to create a custom client policy and assign to the specific users. The client policy manages the Skype for Business client experience.

  Please refer to the following steps:

  1.Create a new client policy:

  New-CsClientPolicy -Identity TestClientPolicy -DisableCalendarPresence $True -DisablePhonePresence $True -DisplayPhoto "PhotosFromADOnly"

  Reference link:

  https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/skype/new-csclientpolicy?view=skype-ps

  2.Edit a client policy

  Set-CsClientPolicy -Identity TestClientpolicy -DisableEmoticons $True -DisableHtmlIm $True -DisableRTFIm $True

  Reference link:

  https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/skype/set-csclientpolicy?view=skype-ps

  3.Get the current configuration of client policy

  Get-CsClientPolicy -Identity TestClientPolicy

  Reference link:

  https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/skype/get-csclientpolicy?view=skype-ps

  4.Assign a client policy to users

  Grant-CsClientPolicy -Identity testuser -PolicyName TestPolicy

  Reference link:

  https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/skype/grant-csclientpolicy?view=skype-ps

  You can also use Skype for Business Control Panel to assign a client policy to users as below:

  Open control panel > Users > search for the user > Edit > Show details > Client policy
