How To Move Users In Bulk From OnPremises Skype To TeamsOnly With Powershell

#microsoftteams #teams #powershell

I've read many blogs on how to move users to TeamsOnly. But I wasn't able to find what I needed. So onto making my own script. I love opportunities like this! A little challenging, a lot of testing and some googling (Bing actually ;).

Environment:

SfB 2015 onprem

Enterprise voice enabled

Teams deployed

Islands mode

Exchange onprem (till next year)

I started with installing the Teams module. You will need this access to complete the steps. You'll also need Skype for Business PowerShell commands, so I started a new PSSession to our Skype server. I put in my admin credentials directly on the script. Not recommended...well in any scenario. However, I made an exception here since it's on a secure server.

In all the blogs I read, I rarely found anyone mention disabling UM in Exchange. Probably because we are the unicorn with Exchange OnPrem and moving to Teams. But that will soon change. So I imported a PSSession for Exchange as well.

Then set your parameters and variables. Pretty basic here.

The next couple of commands are for communication and pauses. I read the pauses help M365 to move along. Can't hurt!

I put my Import-Csv here. Then I disabled the UM first with a simple Get-UMMailbox and piping to Disable-UMMailbox.

The next line is forcing PowerShell to use tls1.2. In our environment, we have an issue with tls1.0 being blocked, so forcing it to use tls1.2 was easy enough.

Then I went into Move-CSUser. There is a lot of documentation on this command.

One thing to note, I did include -BypassAudioConferencingCheck and -BypassEnterpriseVoiceCheck. These are recommended if all your users don't have AC and/or EV.

Then we move onto validation and alerting. These commands create .txt files to give you failures and successes.

You'll want to close the session, once you're done. Best practice.

Then finally send yourself an email letting you know the batch is complete.

Happy Scripting!
