[CHBT]

Hi all,

 

Is there a way to remove the internal fax number for all users via PowerShell?

 

Thanks

Hello CHBT,

 

yes that this is possible and it is very easy.

 

Version 1 without status messages

 

# Load the IpPbx Powershell Module
Import-Module IpPbx
 

# Connect to the IpPbx Server on the localhost via Windows Authentication
Connect-IpPbx
 

# Get all internal numbers of all IpPbx users
# Filter the result for internal FAX numbers
# Remove the numbers WITHOUT confirmation
# prompt and WITHOUT any status message
Get-IpPbxInternalNumber | Where-Object { $_.IsFaxNumber -eq $true } | Remove-IpPbxInternalNumber -Confirm:$false

Version 2 with status messages

 

# Load the IpPbx Powershell Module
Import-Module IpPbx
 

# Connect to the IpPbx Server on the localhost via Windows Authentication
Connect-IpPbx

 

# Do action for all users
# I highly recommend the usage of the ForEach-Object commandlet
# for ForEach loops. For more details please read the following article:
# https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/heyscriptingguy/2014/07/08/getting-to-know-foreach-and-foreach-object/
Get-IpPbxUser | ForEach-Object {
 

    # Save the current ForEach object in a separate variable.
    # This leads to better readability and maintainability.
    # Furthermore the separate variable can also be used
    # in antoher inner ForEach loop.
    $userEntry = $_
 

    # Get all internal fax numbers of this user
    $internalFaxNumbers = Get-IpPbxInternalNumber -Entry $userEntry | Where-Object { $_.IsFaxNumber -eq $true }

   
    # Ensure that the user has at least one internal fax number
    # otherwise we skip this user and proceed with the next one
    if (!$internalFaxNumbers -or $internalFaxNumbers.Count -eq 0)
    {        
        return
    }
 

    # Let's remove all the internal fax numbers of
    # this user WITHOUT confirmation prompt
    $internalFaxNumbers | ForEach-Object {
    
        # Save the current ForEach object
        # in a separate variable again.       
        $internalNumberEntry = $_

       

        # Status Output
        Write-Host "Removing internal fax number '$($internalNumberEntry.Number)' from user '$($userEntry.Name)'..."

       
        # Let's do it :-)
        Remove-IpPbxInternalNumber -Entry $internalNumberEntry -Confirm:$false
    }
}

Brilliant! Thank you so much!
