Pool restriction rule

The Pool policy setting allows you to configure a rule that restricts selection to an Enterprise Edition Front End pool or Standard Edition server to which Skype for Business Server users can be assigned. When you add a new Skype for Business user, this rule determines the list from which you can select a pool for the new user. When you move a Skype for Business Server user from one pool to another, this rule determines the list from which you can select the destination pool.

To configure a rule, choose one of the following policy options:

  • Allow selection of any pool: With this option, the policy does not restrict the list of pools.

  • Restrict selection to these pool: This option allows you to configure a list of acceptable pools. You can:

    • Add or remove pools from the list. Active Roles identifies all Front End pools and Standard Edition servers in your Skype for Business Server deployment, allowing you to select the desired pools or servers.

    • Set the default pool. When adding a new Skype for Business Server user or moving a user to another pool, Active Roles selects the specified pool by default.

    • Reorder the list. When prompting to select a pool, Active Roles lists the pools in the order specified.

Telephony restriction rule

The Telephony policy setting allows you to configure a rule that restricts selection of a Telephony option for Skype for Business Server users. When you add or edit a Skype for Business Server user, this rule determines the list from which you can select a Telephony option.

To configure a rule, you choose one of these policy options:

  • Allow selection of any option: With this option, the policy does not restrict the list of Telephony options.

  • Restrict selection to these options: This option allows you to configure a list of acceptable Telephony options. You can:

    • Add or remove Telephony options from the list.

    • Set the default Telephony option. When adding a new Skype for Business Server, Active Roles selects the specified Telephony option by default.

    • Reorder the list. When prompting to select a Telephony option, Active Roles lists the options in the order specified.

Master Account Management policy for Skype for Business Server User Management

The Master Account Management policy is intended for multi-forest environments where the login-enabled master accounts of Skype for Business Server users are defined in Active Directory forests where Skype for Business Server is not deployed.

In this setup, each master account is represented by a shadow account (inactive user account or contact) in the Active Directory forest in which Skype for Business Server is deployed. For more information on this forest topology, see Resource forest topology for Skype for Business Server User Management and Central forest topology for Skype for Business Server User Management.

The Master Account Management policy enables Active Roles to control master accounts of Skype for Business Server users, and operates together with the Skype for Business Server User Management policy that controls shadow accounts in the Skype for Business Server forest. For more information on the User Management policy, see User Management policy for Skype for Business Server User Management.

The Policy Object that holds the Master Account Management policy is located in the following container in the Active Roles Console:

Configuration/Policies/Administration/Builtin/Built-in Policy - Skype for Business - Master Account Management

Depending on your Active Directory topology, apply this Policy Object as follows to enable Skype for Business Server User Management in Active Roles.
