When you create a dial-in conferencing Uniform Resource Identifier (URI), those URIs are assigned unique SIP addresses. However, SIP addresses are difficult to translate to devices that are not SIP-aware; for example, a public switched telephone network (PSTN) telephone can't translate a SIP address. Because of that, Skype for Business Server uses conference directories as a way to help these devices locate, and connect to, dial-in conferences. This is done by creating a SIP conference directory that is associated with each dial-in conferencing URI, and is identified by an integer value rather than a SIP URI. PSTN telephones and other devices can then use these numbers instead of a SIP URI when connecting to conferences; the directory number is included in the PSTN conference identification users enter when connecting to a dial-in conference.

Occasionally, you might need to move a conference directory from one pool to another; for example, if you decommission a pool you might need to move your existing conference directories to a new location. The Move-CsConferenceDirectory cmdlet enables you to move conference directories to a different pool.

Before you move a conference directory it is highly recommended that you make a backup copy of that directory. This can be done by using the Export-CsUserData cmdlet and the ConferenceDirectoryFilter parameter. For example, this command backs up conference directory 3 to the file C:\Logs\ConferenceDirectory3.zip:

Export-CsUserData -PoolFqdn "atl-cs-001.litwareinc.com" -ConferenceFilterDirectory 3 -FileName "C:\Logs\ConferenceDirectory3.zip"

Move-CsConferenceDirectory -Identity 3 -TargetPool atl-cs-002.litwareinc.com

The command shown in Example 1 moves the conference directory with the Identity 3 to the pool atl-cs-002.litwareinc.com.

Move-CsConferenceDirectory -Identity 3 -TargetPool atl-cs-002.litwareinc.com -Force

The command shown in Example 2 is a variation of the command shown in Example 1. In this case, however, the Force parameter is included to ensure that the move takes place even if the target pool is currently unavailable.

Get-CsConferenceDirectory | Move-CsConferenceDirectory -TargetPool atl-cs-002.litwareinc.com

Example 3 moves all the existing conference directories to the target pool atl-cs-002.litwareinc.com. To carry out this task the command first uses the Get-CsConferenceDirectory cmdlet to return a collection of all the conference directories currently in use in the organization. This collection is then piped to the Move-CsConferenceDirectory cmdlet, which moves each directory in the collection to the target pool.

This cmdlet supports the common parameters: -Debug, -ErrorAction, -ErrorVariable, -InformationAction, -InformationVariable, -OutBuffer, -OutVariable, -PipelineVariable, -ProgressAction, -Verbose, -WarningAction, and -WarningVariable. For more information, see about_CommonParameters.

The Move-CsConferenceDirectory cmdlet does not accept pipelined input.
