[LYO] Set Skype For Business status using PowerShell

May 23, 2017 Andrei Rachita 0

I get asked multiple times how to set your Skype For Business presence using a PowerShell script. So, here goes:

#DLL Requirements: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=36824 - Lync SDK

function SetSFBStatus

{
import-module "C:\LyncScript\lib\Microsoft.Lync.Controls.Dll"
import-module "C:\LyncScript\lib\Microsoft.Lync.Model.Dll"

# Obtain the entry point to the Lync.Model API
$client = [Microsoft.Lync.Model.LyncClient]::GetClient()

$self = $client.Self;

#Set Details of Personal Note and Availability
#Useful availability codes for use below - 3500 Available, 15500 Away (converted to "Off Work" in this script by setting activity ID), 6500 Busy, 9500 Do not disturb, 12000 Be Right Back) 
$availability = 12000
$date = [DateTime]::Now
#$message = "Availability script last run $date"

#Publish personal note and presence availability of the local user
$contactInfo = new-object 'System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary[Microsoft.Lync.Model.PublishableContactInformationType, object]'
$contactInfo.Add([Microsoft.Lync.Model.PublishableContactInformationType]::PersonalNote, 
            $message)
$contactInfo.Add([Microsoft.Lync.Model.PublishableContactInformationType]::Availability, 
            $availability)
If ($availability -eq 15500) {$contactInfo.Add([Microsoft.Lync.Model.PublishableContactInformationType]::ActivityId, "off-work")}

$ar = $self.BeginPublishContactInformation($contactInfo, $null, $null)
$self.EndPublishContactInformation($ar)
}
while($true)
{
Start-Sleep -Seconds 30
SetSFBStatus
}
