Update-CsAddressBook

Module:
Skype for Business Server PowerShell

Forces the specified Address Book servers to synchronize their contents with the User database. This cmdlet was introduced in Lync Server 2010.

Syntax

Default (Default) 

Update-CsAddressBook
    [[-Fqdn] <Fqdn>]
    [-Force]
    [<CommonParameters>]

Description

Address Book servers are intermediaries between Active Directory and Skype for Business Server. The Address Book server ensures that the user information stored in Skype for Business Server is in synch with the user information stored in Active Directory. This is done by periodically synching Address Book files with the information stored in the User database. By default, this synchronization takes place every five minutes. (However, that time interval can be modified by using the Set-CsAddressBookConfiguration cmdlet.)

If you can't wait for synchronization to take place or if it appears that, for some reason, synchronization isn't taking place, you can use the Update-CsAddressBook cmdlet to force an Address Book server to immediately synch with the user information stored in the User database.

Examples

EXAMPLE 1

Update-CsAddressBook

In Example 1, the Update-CsAddressBook cmdlet is called without any parameters. This synchronizes all the Address Book servers in the organization.

EXAMPLE 2

Update-CsAddressBook -Fqdn atl-abs-001.litwareinc.com

In Example 2, only a single Address Book server is synchronized: the server with the FQDN atl-abs-001.litwareinc.com.
